Kelly: Trump’s Military Knowledge ‘Is an Inch Deep’

Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump’s military knowledge was “an inch deep.”

Host Jake Tapper said, “What’s your take on, the status of the war?”

Kelly said, “Well, I think he doesn’t know what to do at this point. And this is what happened. Happens when, you don’t listen to people around you. I think he has. He has a lot of. Yes, people around him, a lot of yes men. Certainly, Hegseth is one. Hegseth also unqualified for this role as a Secretary of Defense. But he does have some people that could give him reasonable advice.”

Tapper said, “General Caine, I would say.”

Kelly said, “Yeah, I think so. And we saw some things reported, you know, publicly they said something about the Strait of Hormuz being shut down. The president is like, well, that’s not going to happen. This thing’s going to be over in 2 or 3 days. Donald Trump thinks he knows more than everybody about everything. This is a guy who said because he went to military high school, he knows more than admirals and generals. He does not. I mean, his depth of knowledge on this stuff is an inch deep.”

Why vote for Republicans if they won't do what they said they would do.

Since our military is under civilian control, most CIC's we elect have limited military knowledge, even if they've been in the military. We haven't had anyone at top brass level since Ike, so give me a break.

Kelly is a retired Naval captain I believe. Experience, but not exactly top level.

I think they call Kelly "The angry Inch".  It might have been his call sign. Either that or his wife's pet name for his unit.

I believe her name for that part was.."The Limp Weasel."
