That is just because you have no general of the Napoleonic size.

Such a general would have assumed command long time ago.

(note the pun?)

Generally military members aren't fond of executive military commanders.

They likely would give them the middle finger.

Everyone loved Nappy.

exept the brits, russians, preussians and italians.

Ill rephrase. France loved Nappy.

We might not notice an agenda after the 4 year chaos of revolving door employment practices of this administration.

If you had an american General whos name was known and loved by serviceman and civilan alike, I would think a Nappy was in the coming.

@Zuluzeit "If we dont know what we are doing, neither does the enemy."

Yeah we don't have anyone like that. Perhaps a coalition tho.

I do belive Trumps job was to play Nixon mk II.

Nixon played the mad man very well. It scared the crap out of the russians, and they never recovered from what he was able to pull them into.

Man man strategy for the 2010s would be The Retarded Man strategy.

It is also easy to burn paper.

It burns at Fahrenheit 451.

Whoa...

I'm glad I had to re-read that book in college technical writing classes.

It made more sense when I was a bit more mature.

I meant he was going to fire disloyal generals in order to facilitate his own seizure of power btw.

I don't believe he has any authority to fire people not in the executive branch.

He can fire generals all day long, I think.

They don't really have much authority over the military.

They're primarily an advisory role.

JCS has more authority.

But it still isn't much.

Well he can have his people there do it...but I still think he can. Google time.

Congress has the general control over the military.

Pretty sure.

Not the president.

First one on the google search. Duke U.

Rather, some jurispundit published by Duke.

And if there is any question about his supreme authority, we could expect him to not try, of course.

No pattern of behavior or direct proclamation to the contrary or anything. Lol
