One of the guys on MSNBC said that after Mattis retired under Obama and started working for Stanford, he took 2 and a half weeks to drive by himself across country and stop and talk to families of soldiers that died under his command.
John Kelly had a son die in action.
How do you think they feel about Trump's lies and actions?
Good question. Do you think they have blind allegiance to Trump and are willing to ignore those comments this morning, or will they say something to him?
But...............chances are, if they DO say something to him, it's not gonna come out on the news, because they want to present a unified front with him.
To be honest, I can't possibly see how someone with their ilk could continue to work for someone that has no respect for the military, and those that have died. He makes these superfluous fights with the NFL, but then shows no respect to issues that are actually tied to the military like with McCain, the Gold Star families, and now this.
People that are close with Mattis and Kelly would have to be calling them left and right asking them WTF they are doing working for Trump.
Trump saying that not standing for the anthem is insulting to the military is flat out wrong. Why? Because in the oath of enlistment (which I took 6 times in my Naval career), we swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
If a person supports and defends the Constitution, they also support and defend the things in it, like a right to peaceful protest and free speech.
Come to think of it, Trump and Pence BOTH swore a similar oath to the Constitution when they were inaugurated. Guess they aren't interested in keeping their oath when they scream about NFL players who are peacefully protesting and in no way are affecting the outcome of the game with their peaceful protest.
