Spoken like someone who's never had a dangerous job of any kind.
Fireman enjoy fighting fires. That doesn't mean they hope for them or advocate for starting them.
Generals, however, DO advocate for starting wars. War is the best way to get promoted as a high ranking officer and war is the fastest way to get rich as a former high ranking officer.
Eisenhower understood this 70 years ago and you still haven't figured it out...
This is such a poor yet unsurprising response.
So you essentially agree with me on fire fighters, except that I contend that they’re glad to have intervened and limited the loss of life and property, while you’re focused on enjoying the mechanics of being on the frontline. I question how enjoyable it is to be trying to get people in danger out of a building that’s in danger of collapse. It’s harrowing and sobering and one of the most honorable things another person can do, to put their life on the line for strangers. I just question that, after such stakes, that should they get home safely and think, “that was an enjoyable day at work.” Being proud of what you did during dangerous circumstances isn’t necessarily the same as enjoying the process.
On generals and wars: field commissions and advancement in a state of war certainly exist. But most in positions of leadership want to avoid risking the lives of their fellow men and women in uniform, if at all possible, and certainly not have their own career progress at the forefront of their decision making process. You wouldn’t want that, would you?
The firefighter analogy was idiotic.
Firefighters enjoy fighting fires. It's fun.
Soldiers enjoy war when it's going well.
Generals are always in complete safety so they always enjoy it.
You clearly learned all you think you know about war from books and television.
The founders were much much much smarter than you and they understood why it was necessary to have civilian control of the military. O-10s think every problem has a military answer.
Mattis's behavior on Syria proves that the generals have absolutely no business being involved with policy decisions.

this episode is one reason I'm not too upset about Biden being a little senile while president. We know Dems hire highly qualified people who know how to do stuff.
Whereas Trump hires the guy he thinks looks good on Fox News or who gives him enough money.
Hiring unqualified people like Trump does...gets you this cluster situation. And this won't be the last one.
Trump is the classic guy who refuses to hire anyone smarter than him, because doing so would make him look and feel bad. And this is what we get.

Biden literally paid for all of the weapons the Houthis are using to attack our ships...
If you want to talk about "unqualified" people let's talk about the unelected trash that was running the government for the last 4 years while Biden napped.
In other words, no locations, no sources and methods. These aren't war plans.
Our allies were already notified that attacks were imminent before this text chain even happened.
You've been lied to yet again.
Goldberg just disgraced himself even further if that's even possible.
What do you think the Pentagon would say if the Atlantic went to the pentagon before the attack and said
'hey boys can we publish this set of data showing where and when the attacks would take place and who the targets are? Can we do that before the attacks take place? Cool?'
You know as well as anyone that the Pentagon would say 'no that's classified material, putting that out into the world would jeopardize the mission and our men and women.

You clearly do see how serious this situation is.
You've been angrily defending all involved while frantically trying to discredit the journalist for essentially two days non-stop.
You wouldn't be losing your mind quite as much if you didn't realize just how much these people (who you worship) have screwed up. You know they should resign, but you just don't want them to.
Reminder: They were after one single person and blew up an entire apartment building, killing women and children. *Fire emoji* *American flag*
Even the terrorist Houthis and Al Jazeera haven't claimed civilian casualties but the Democrats are outraged about the "women and children" they're hoping got killed so they can pretend to be outraged about it.

My very first comment was that Waltz should resign.
It's not anyone else's fault that the idiot invited a rat into the group.
The security risks and all the other nonsense the left is wetting the bed about is purely political theater.

I think intelligent people realize this is a nothing burger.
None of that information is classified and none of it would have helped Yemen figure out when and where it was being attacked.

Wrong again, Biff.
"The US has launched airstrikes against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis, killing at least 31 people and injured up to 100 more... Most of the casualties in the US strikes were women and children, said Anees al-Asbahi, the spokesperson for the Houthi-run health ministry.... The Houthis' political bureau described the attacks as a "war crime"."

Give the bigot a break. It's hard for him, being part of the stupid cult that's slowly realizing their entire lives have deteriorated to "but Biden".
The whole administration should be in jail after lying under oath that no classified information was shared.
