People only always get along in fairy tales. I suspect the media is spinning this one just like all the others.
People don’t have to agree, but McMasters steps over the line when he undercuts the president. He has to go.
The question is who can replace him and on what time schedule?
McArther was a great general, but Truman wouldn’t put up with that.
Do you trust Bloomberg News to tell you the sky is blue, or are they another Fake News(TM) outlet?
I don’t automatically distrust them, and nothing in the story seems unlikely to me.
You need to learn to automatically distrust any mainstream media source. They are all corrupt.
So guess who else Trump doesn’t love?
“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are unable to effectively lead the Bureau.”
Now that is harsh. And well-deserved. But did the MSM have a clue?
You’d think a general would understand the perils of insubordination.
Remember that McMaster came to prominence in the army in part for his graduate thesis which was expanded into the book Dereliction of Duty. The conventional wisdom (in the army, anyway!) was that the Vietnam war was lost due to political micromanagement. McMaster argues convincingly that while this was true, it was enabled by generals who were more interested in sucking up and promoting their branch of the service than in giving the political leadership realistic reports and options for Vietnam,
The application to the current situation is obvious.
You’re talking about two different things. One thing is to have a difference of opinion. That’s generally a good thing because it brings out perspectives that may otherwise be overlooked. But undermining the president within an administration is an entirely different animal. The proper way to disagree would be to resign.
