Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

[Saylors_Tiny_Willie]

Quote

One former Trump-administration Cabinet secretary told me of a conversation he’d had with Trump during his time in office about the Vietnam War. Trump famously escaped the draft by claiming that his feet were afflicted with bone spurs. (“I had a doctor that gave me a letter—a very strong letter on the heels,” Trump told The New York Times in 2016.) Once, when the subject of aging Vietnam veterans came up in conversation, Trump offered this observation to the Cabinet official: “Vietnam would have been a waste of time for me. Only suckers went to Vietnam.”

he isn't wrong.

Hitler had great generals. If he had stayed out of the way, the war may have turned out a bit different.

we are lucky hitler was a bumbling fool.  (just like Trump is)

very similar to our way of attacking in vietnam. we let the 'whiz kids' and mcnamara fight the war, instead of the guys who could get it done.

we tried to fight a media battle instead of a war.

isreal must have learned... b/c it is doing things as they should be done.

you either want to win and protect yourself or you want to look good.
