(4,407 posts)4. We need to stop with the "Generals Myth"
That somehow Mattis and Kelly are reslly good men running around saving this country from Trump. They are a part of the most corrupt, incompetent and anti-democratic presidency in history. The fact they ard aware of the incompetence only makes them worse.
I posit that their military experience does not grant them a pass from culpability, but that serving while they did, in unjustified wars, only better prepared them for unjust civil service.
In short, fuck them.
