VoteVets CEO: Trump’s Tweets Are ‘Terrifying’ to Our Soldiers Across Our Military Installations

‘We need Congress to stand up to constrain Donald Trump’s ability to wage war’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SOLTZ: "It’s terrifying to wake up mostly on the weekends and you see tweets that are, you know, things like the calm before the storm. That terrifies people throughout our military installations across the country. Because even if you supported Donald Trump the perception inside the military is something like hey this guy is going to do it. He’s got that kind of mentality. When you look at the road he’s on, specifically first with the Iran deal, that puts, you know, U.S. Troops in greater danger in Iraq. We’ve worked with the Iranians on the ground to push ISIS back into Syria and now have ISIS, you know, at their last ropes. Then you start to look at the North Korea situation. If you’re North Korea and you see us basically decertify the Iran deal, and you seenvade Iraq and topple North Korea it puts the country on notice. I think this week also from inside the beltway standpoint there was the usa conference the big army convention that happens annually. Anyone can Google the army chief of army statements on this and this making its way to the bottom levels of the U.S. Army about the devastation that would occur if U.S. Forces in ground combat in North Korea. You could read on military website, lieutenant general a tremendous piece about use of nuclear weapons in North Korea. There’s a lot of anxiety inside the military that this president will just do it. But, I don’t think and this is my personal opinion that Mcmaster and Kelly will live up to general Mcmasters ph.d. They sees dereliction of duty where moilt leadership stops this guy. I don’t think it matters Bob corker challenges Donald Trump. We need a Republican who will take on Donald Trump’s base to do that. We need Congress to stand up to constrain Donald Trump’s ability to wage war. They have been unwilling to touch that narrative where U.S. Troops have died down in Niger and the president still hasn’t acknowledged it."
