Trump's shot at top brass rankles military circles

Donald Trump's broadside against the top military brass is drawing warnings of a crisis in civilian-military relations should he become commander in chief and begin bypassing generals and admirals now serving under President Barack Obama.

"It would be unprecedented," said Mackubin Thomas Owens, a retired Marine colonel and former instructor at the Naval War College. "This would be making the military into a partisan prize. The idea you are going to come in and fire all the generals and admirals would be nearly impossible for a variety of reasons, but would also be stupid."

Nobama's been doing it and what we have left has either learned to keep mouth shut or is exactly as Trump called them.

The Best and Brightest have been purged. Hope we can get them back.
