    The generals are in charge now. Reassuring in some ways but it also has huge potential dangers.https://twitter.com/politico/status/851249647934881792 …

        No diplomacy is dangerous, Generals are not diplomats. Their only solution is to shoot.

        Interestingly, he argues in his book that Vietnam was a failure because politicians ignored and sidelined the expert generals.

        I dislike DT but I can think of many ways he could be successful in Syria w/some diplomatic assistance. The Gens are not equipped to deliver

        We have rules about appointment of generals for a reason. I get that everyone saw them as a steady hand for Trump but still seems dangerous.
