Apologies for skipping the first eight pages of this thread, but my BS detector goes on full alert when I see a story about General Flagg, I mean Flynn.
Flynn is a retired 3 star general. For the last 10-15 years of his military career, his rear was getting smooched daily by adoring subordinates. He was the master of his universe.
So Trump "directs" him to talk to the Russians, and now says he was wrong to do so? I simply am unable to believe that Flynn would agree to such an order if he thought it was unlawful.
My, my, my...today's officer corps is a far cry from what I remember...last week, I celebrated the 33rd anniversary of my discharge from the Army. It was hastened by an LTC who would have worked well with Flynn. My efforts were not wasted, though. A bird colonel I knew reached out to me several months later, to let me know said LTC didn't make the list for the War College.
He would make Colonel, but no War College, no stars.
8 years were plenty for me...marriage and fatherhood would have never occurred had I stayed in.
