This was Trump’s most unapologetic and best presser IMO.
Reporter “Did you set a new bar today by calling us losers to our face?”
Trump “No not all of you. Just most of you.”

You could just see how irritated he was, and that’s using a mild word. It was brutal…calling that one guy a sleaze to his face for just one example. To me, it looks like a total smashing of the whole apple cart. Total. People will love it. I’m not saying I think it’s wrong. I am saying it’s going to be really personal now, for those press guys. I doubt they’re all going to disappear, run away and cry. They work for powerful people.

Amen.
It was a bloodbath and the press has no idea what is happening.
I just heard the vet who passionately defended Trump and then told the liberal press to “Get your head out of your butt.”

It was a bloodbath, you’re right. But I’m not so sure the press has no idea what’s happening. Maybe they really are nothing but a pathetic house of cards. I hope so. They have handlers who might not be so pathetic, though.

When I say the press has no idea what is going on I mean that they have no idea how they lost their power or how to get it back or why Trump doesn’t at least try to jump through their hoops.
I also mean they are stupid low IQ buffoons who can’t get out of their own dull mindset. This will now turn into an attack on any of the veterans organizations that the press can pick at and an attack on Trump’s “nastiness” the press cannot think objectively, they are a horde of mind numb morons.

Thank you. I understand what you are saying. I agree with many of your thoughts. I do think it’s possible that some of them are not complete morons, and some of them are idealogues. Their ideology may be moronic, but we’ve seen what ideology can do.

Yes, I thought more about it Col Ken. My dad was a Captain and retired Major in the AF.
I was thinking about one of them coming on a news show or a press conference like this. Do you think they would blister that group the same way? I’ve seen so many of the pc ones.

Review some Stormman Norman press tapes from ’90-91. And Colin Powell famous “trust me, just trust me on this”. Powell laid out for the Iraqis the war plan, I just could believe it when we were watching, each Army Division would do its wartime mission. Our saving grac was air power, and raids deep into Iraq before the ground war started, once then ground war started, our speed, battle tempo just overwhelmed the Iraq forces. A validation of Airland doctrine, and the scars of Vietnam were lifted……..

Yeah but while Powell was a Pentagon general Schwarkkopf was a field general. I was watching the big picture from a center at Ft Meade and his groundwork was amazing. He knew what his soldiers could do, knew his commanders, gave them his plan and trusted them to have the abilities to carry them out without micromanagement. The moves worked beautifully, casualties were minimal and the war was over way faster than the Greek chorus predicted.

You were watching from there? Oh my goodness! Well ok then. I remember watching Schwarzkopf (sp) and thinking “they still have these guys and will let them out in public?” I don’t remember him busting on the press directly though. Where are the officers like him? Are they watching and waiting? And if anyone knows, I don’t imagine they would say.

DS was the first of the “new” wars we’d heard about for years. During Vietnam ‘spy’ satellites were still taking pictures on film that was dropped back to the earth in buckets, the buckets were snagged in midair by an airplane, flown to a lab for development and processing while users in the field waited for the intel data. By DS the pix were taken by an electro optical system, ‘radioed’ to the ground where they could be processed by various analysts and shot directly to the users in the field.
Dispersed command, control and communication was much faster, more secure and easier to use. We could conference directly with cohorts in the field in realtime more clearly and securely, thousands of miles apart but just like we were in the same room. For that evaporating number of early Vietnam vets still in it was almost like magic. The even fewer of us who were in for Afghanistan and Iraq who were DS and VN vets, it was magic. I could talk face-to-face, realtime plus share analysis over crystal clear, secure voice and video. That was my military system, I got to the point where I thought of it as completely normal that I could email realtime with my friends on duty, on patrol, in Iraq and Afghanistan on my private laptop from the coffee shop. Culture shock.
I’ve said before that God keeps a few special generals in that fulminating pool of 650 or so we have. In times of need God seems to pluck the right one out of that pile and put him where he needs to be. You look at our past wars and about the time it’s all aboutbto go to crap the right mix of generals magically fall into place. Stormin’ Normin was the one for Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

I still have a spare set of teeth, kept ’em just in case I’d ever need ’em.
As a going-away gift I was attached to a joint command that was hosted by the AF. I stood in, for a week, for the AF 1st sergeant who had to take leave. About two days in I get a call from a lower ranking AF sergeant at a site off-post. Seems he needed a favor and the AF sergeants tend to call each other by their first names, so in an atempt to bond with me he says ‘Hey, bro, I understand you’re standing in for Bob, what’s your first name?’. “SERGEANT,” I replied.
Diplomacy. The ability to tell someone to go to hell and have them looking forward to the journey.

That was some press conference. The press may have been made mad, but they would never have had the chance to ask questions like that of Obama or Hillery.
