Peacemonger-in-chief scares DC

In the Bible, blessed are the peacemakers.

In DC, they are cursed.

President Donald John Trump's dumping of his Never Trumper defense secretary and others has rocked the Pentagon.

Axios reported, "President Trump's newly installed acting Pentagon chief is bringing on a senior adviser in a sign the administration wants to accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East before the end of his presidency in January, three people familiar with the move told Axios."

Something nefarious is afoot!

Instead of being a rubber stamp to approving military engagements, this commander-in-chief is ignoring their self-serving counsel.

The story said, "A senior administration official says a wave of firings at the Pentagon and the hiring of Retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor is in part a settling of Trump's personal scores — but senior White House officials also have made clear 'they want them more publicly to talk about getting out of Afghanistan by the end of the year.'"Trump, who ran in 2016 on a promise to bring U.S. troops home, is frustrated with the slow pace of withdrawing troops from the Middle East, another senior administration official said.

"The president has told advisers on numerous occasions he wants troops home from Afghanistan by Christmas."

Maybe he should send the joint chief of staffs to Afghanistan to bivouac outside Kabul until they bring the troops home.

19 years.

The American people lost faith in all their institutions under President Trump because they finally realized how untrustworthy and undeserving the institutions are.

Support the troops by bringing them home.
