The Defense officials also confirmed to The AP reporting in The Atlantic that Trump on Memorial Day 2017 had gone with his chief of staff, John Kelly, to visit the Arlington Cemetery gravesite of Kellys son, Robert, who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan, and said to Kelly: I dont get it. What was in it for them?
The senior Marine Corps officer and The Atlantic, citing sources with firsthand knowledge, also reported that Trump said he didnt want to support the August 2018 funeral of Republican Sen. John McCain, a decorated Navy veteran who spent years as a Vietnam prisoner of war, because he was a loser. The Atlantic also reported that Trump was angered that flags were flown at half-staff for McCain, saying: What the f- are we doing that for? Guy was a f-ing loser.

(50,946 posts)of the military, that "obey your superiors" habit is all but insurmountable. Which is disturbing, especially at that level, because those at that level need to be able to think for themselves.
I think he lived a variation of the Peter Principal: he was promoted to his level of incompetence. His absolute adherence to obedience got him to a position in which absolute adherence to obedience was destructive and should have been disqualifying.
