James Carafano: George Floyd unrest – ignore the critics, there is no civilian-military crisis
By James Jay Carafano | Fox News
In normal times, a presidential commencement address to the West Point graduating class wouldn’t elicit much attention. And it wouldn’t be an occasion for partisan bickering and sniping in the media. But these aren’t normal times, so it did and it was.
The newly commissioned lieutenants had barely launched their hats into the air before critics were building on the controversies over the use of military force in response to public disturbances, trying to create a narrative of a divide between civilian leaders and our military that does not exist.
While President Trump’s remarks June 13 could have been made by any commander-in-chief, the detractors swooped down like buzzards looking for anything to pick over. One of the most egregious was “fact-checking†from the New York Times that attacked the president’s claim that his administration has rebuilt the U.S. military.
