    The Pentagon publicly dissenting from a public published presidential order? Trump’s chaos is not a sideshow.

        Klinger was not transgender. He was a cross dresser. Important to understand. He did not identify as a woman. He dressed like one.

        Not taken that way by me at least. Klinger proved himself a patriot as did all the characters of MASH. It's a respectful nod to our military

        Thankfully, the Pentagon requires authentication and explanation, not random outbursts on the internet.

        There is established procedure for policy implementation. He's an elected president not an anointed king. Tweeting doesn't make it so.

        Exactly. If he tweets that he wants to nuke another country, the military should just do it? The military can’t follow 140 character whims.

        Nothing is beneath him. He is truly the lowest of the low. An amoral, inhuman, disgusting creature. He has no business in that office.

        Trump is the clown prince of tweeting. Of course this is crazy; of course this is chaos. David, you are smarter than that.
