US Army's top officer says sending troops to war is a 'last resort' after Trump blasts military...

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm enraged about Trump disparaging the military. I've contacted our state senator and representative about my grave concerns. Like many of you, over 3 generations in my family served, 9 of 11 who served did so during armed conflicts. My wife's uncle died near the end of WW Two and like many of the World's Greatest Generation he rests in Arlington Cemetery. We are not "stupid losers & suckers".

um - not to be a party pooper here, but, like, how many of these uniformed suits end up working for or lobbying for the very industry that contracts defense department requisitions? Just saying. You know it, I know it, Private Joe knows it. Let's not pretend that this does not routinely happen when they "Retire"

Decisions to send troops to war is not up to military leadership, only Congress can do that. The WAR powers Act determines presidential powers for a defined period. Top military leaders ADVISE the CINC. Business Insider is like a news arm of MSDNC.
