Military made decisions without Trump being included

It's okay. It was daytime when he probably wasn't awake anyway.

Are we expected to take lib liars at the Wall St Journal’s word for this story?

You don't even believe the Iranian school was blown up by the U.S. You live in a deranged MAGA fantasy world.

Military leaders have no choice but to ignore Trump and his white supremacist lackey Pete Hegseth.

They are both deranged and they both want to commit war crimes in Iran. Obviously, military leaders will have to refuse to follow those orders.

This situation could get very ugly over the next few months between the top generals vs the imbeciles Trump and Hegseth.

You're speaking of treason.


The military leadership has autonomy on the battlefield and in theater operations and don't need to bother the President. Likely they'll send it up the chain to the JCS, or the SecWar.

This article isn't the clearest on what they have done, but if they deliberately leave out of the loop the Civilian leadership of this nation, that is, at the very least, sedition and can run right up to Treason.

But you don't strike me as someone particularly knowledgeable beyond the color sequence of your nails.

No, not if Trump is ordering the military to blow up civilian infrastructure like power plants and bridges. That is a war crime and an illegal order.

Well, then treason was committed. The generals don't want the imbecile mentally ill man-child Trump in the room making horrible command decisions.

If mad king Trump was in the command center during that rescue operation, that poor colonel would probably now be dead.

You're quoting a blog.

If you disagree, tell us why. A blog is as good as any of our own individual beliefs.

A Fascistbook post is a credible source?

Srsly?

Says the guy who links to Twitter Posts as sources.

Thank heavens the brass kept him out of the room.

He is too erratic and ungrounded now, far more than ever.

He is jeopardizing are peoples' welfare and good being.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump was in such a volatile state after Iran shot down a U.S. jet that he spent hours screaming at aides in the West Wing, obsessing over the political fallout and invoking Jimmy Carter and the 1979 hostage crisis. Officials made the call to limit his access, only briefing him at “meaningful moments” instead of giving him real-time control.
Meanwhile, the operation itself nearly fell apart, with aircraft stuck in desert sand and U.S. forces scrambling to avoid Iranian detection. The airman was eventually rescued, but the chaos didn’t end there.
Just hours later, Trump woke up and fired off his profanity-laced threat online, warning Iran it would be left “living in Hell.”

If you think this is sinister or unusual, you must have never been in the military.

You try to make decisions and solve problems at the lowest level possible

No, not at all. We kept things away from the Brigade Commander when possible. He had enough on the plate as it was.

I served for a bit at DvHqs, and you should have seen the Chief of Staff. It would have driven a crazy man sane. It was awful
