Simple question. Harder answer. How much do you trust Mr. Donald Trump as a potential Commander-in-Chief of the US military? Would terrorists fear him or laugh at him? Would he micromanage or leave it to the Generals to run the force? Which candidate do you trust the most with the military? Why?

spot on. Trump is pretty much an unknown factor, he may be good or he may be bad. HiLIARy has proven herself to be a disaster over her entire career. I'd rather take a chance on Trump than be assured of getting a turd with HiLIARy.

I would trust him because he knows he is not an expert in Military operations and would probably have someone that is well respected in the Military community on his staff. He does not really need to know that much about the Military as long as he has very intelligent and respected people around him.

Exactly. He could never have become a success in business without surrounding himself with, and listening to, great people!

Military Operations and Business practice both follow Zun Tzu The Art of War. In debates he insults and infuriates opponents, he avoids their strengths and continuous to out flank them and hits them where it hurts.

I do not trust him at all as the CINC. He would find a way to start using the military and it's resources as his private army. That is just the way he is programmed, to elevate and benefit himself first and foremost, and he is good at it.

You have no clue how the man is programed Staff. You can't see the goodwill he had to the military, to every American? We needed that as a Nation. You see any other Nation looking after the world before their own people ? Opening up their borders and felleting their welfare system for invited illegal foriegners? Best foreign policy we have had hands down. I got news for you. He could buy his own army if he wanted. He was loosing money trying to help us and you're posting about benefiting himself, he didn't even take pay.

Tell you what, we get rid of the media and big tech mogals and I garrantee you the fog will left and shit will be a lot clearer for a lot of working folks that don't have time to research the truth.
Bill Clinton and his almost unheard of 1996 Telecommunication Act. Suprisi#Ă ngly it didn't get much press and flew through. Read it and tell me he wasn't aware of what he was doing. All by design and a propoganda machine was born.

I suspect he'd do as well as any other reality TV celebrity...

I've said this in other threads, I do not believe Donald Trump has the temperament to serve as the leader of the free world. There are a lot of positive aspects of his candidacy, but I can't imagine him on the world stage, making decisions that affect global security. His knowledge of foreign policy is laughable, at best. Maybe I will be proved wrong, but that's my initial impression of him.

There's no such way sir, the candidates are all about the talk and how to present themselves, just like the current POTUS, back in 2008 everyone thought his voice was charm but, turned out totally opposite, IMO I think we need a patriot.

I honestly think he would do well as CiC. Maybe not as a national leader, but as far as the military goes, I think he would do very well. He would micromanage the generals, but let them run the lower levels. That's what he's done with every business he's ever had his name attached to. And at the tip-top, that's really all the military is. We are a Force to be reckoned with at our level (Division and down), but at the very top, it's all a big business.
