President Trump just endorsed torture this morning when he endorsed Gina Haspel - thus endangering the safety of our troops worldwide. I expect our military and the CIA to hold to a higher legal and moral standard than POTUS. #notorture #nohaspelcia

Military leaders move to the sound of the guns and to the troops under stress. Apparently GOP leaders go to Cancun and Mar a Lago. Got your number @tedcruz Got your number Trump.

My 42 year old Father went missing during the Vietnam War, over Laos, over the Ho Chi Minh trail providing CAS to SF troops in contact. Trump has no right to command such warriors. Modern warriors deserve better. Help drive Traitor Trump into history’s dustbin.

NEW AD: Trump calls our war dead 'suckers' and 'losers.' But know this—he's the true loser. These Gold Star Families are standing up, and their message clear: valor and sacrifice are beyond Trump's understanding. Unforgivable disrespect. #GoldStarVoicesAgainstTrump

Not enough that @realDonaldTrump pals around with the likes of Putin and North Korea’s dictator Un - now he embraces dead Confederate traitors to impose their names upon our great Army. Our troopers deserve better. Better names for our 10 Confederate posts. And a better CINC.

When the Bush admin tortured prisoners, US Army established a higher standard (and legal)than its own CINC. Now, CG USASOC also establishes a higher ethical construct in refusal to reinstate war criminal Golsteyn to SF after @realDonaldTrump pardon. Well done LTG Beaudette.

Apparently @realDonaldTrump directed the destruction of our OC 135B Open Skies aircraft because he wants America out of the treaty. Will the Air Force Chief of Staff comply or do what generals know how to do. Slow roll for a few weeks to allow sanity to kick in?

So @SecretaryZinke thinks SEAL is easier than Interior because he could shoot back. Terrorists use fear to achieve outcomes. Zinke appears to want to shoot female questioners. And female Senators?Are you a terrorist Big Oil Man? Maybe you and I should talk-Anytime. #insiderthreat

NY Times headline: U.S. Prepares Housing Up to 20,000 Migrants on Military Bases. @realDonaldTrump , our military is always the safety net for America and nations friendly and otherwise. And we all predicted Defense would be called to rescue you from your border incompetence.

During my time in the military, I held clearance to handle some of the more sensitive materials we had, including those marked Top Secret / SCI. Sources (people) and methods (expensive) - to be protected. [THREAD 🧵]

The least noble among us, @realDonaldTrump , announces our 5000 troops serving as political props on our southern border will be home for Christmas. We continue to test new lows for this POTUS. He won’t visit troops in combat zones (still got those spurs). #NeverTrump

@realDonaldTrump attacks senior military claiming they want the endless wars to appease what Ike decried as the Military-Industrial complex. That senior military dont’love’ him but troops do. Apparently he missed the recent poll that says otherwise. Vote for patriot @JoeBiden !

I just participated in a war game with a nonpartisan group, the Transition Integrity Project. The mission was to identify election/transition events during our coming Presidential election and the weeks following. Our Democracy WILL be protected by our most noble women and men.
