General Kelly doesn't give a shit

If he can use his sons death to advance his fascism..he damn well will do it.

He took a job working for Donnie Short Fingers. He has already showed us he has no integrity.

And I'm retired Navy and would gladly say that to Kelly's face.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Kelly had a choice in working for this idiot (that is, if Kelly was still a serving general when he was appointed).

I was under the impression that a serving military officer MUST accept the role if he's tapped for it by the president. Others can say no, but not serving military.

I heard this when McMaster was appointed to his role - people asked the same thing about why he would say 'yes'. Apparently he didn't have a choice.

At the pleasure of the Pres

Once our initial obligation is up, we can resign our commission at any time

who happens to have the nuclear codes. I think Kelly is mostly humoring the Dotard, at least in public. If letting that asshole spout shit keeps him from doing something stupid, even if it is detrimental to his won reputation, then he'll do what he has to do. Kelly is probably one the people standing between El Pendejo and nuclear war.

BTW, Kelly hasn't said a damn thing about his son's death. Everything you have heard about it today has come from Trump's mouth.

Has thrown Kelly's son under the bus.

Kelly either smacks that orange sack of puss upside the head for politicizing the death of his son, or Kelly digs up his sons corpse to attack President Obama.

That he hasn't resigned and denounced Donnie Short Fingers already tells me all I need to know.

Come on you fucking so-called Flag Officer. Your fucking choice. Are you going to politicize dead soldiers, Sailors, Marines and airman?

He should be asked to comment on the shitgibbons statement every time he shows his fascist fucking face

These people are not really our friends and would prefer to try to "manage" a narcissist like Trump, rather than deal with an intelligent professional like Hillary Clinton.

I'm not impressed.
