Chicago Dem Who Served In Iraq Sez Trump Is On A Slippery Slope To Military Dictatorship
 [Daily Caller] Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a veteran of the Iraq War, warned that GOP President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks are sliding the country towards a military dictatorship.Duckworth, an incoming senator, told David Axeldrod on "The Axe Files" podcast that filling key positions with retired generals is a "real danger" and said Washington should avoid traveling down that path to a military junta, that is, a military dictatorship, CNN reports. "We’re the greatest nation on the face of the Earth, and the greatest democracy, because we’re not a military junta," Duckworth said. "So we shouldn’t be starting on that slippery slope towards it." Trump has taken a liking to military officers, stacking his cabinet full of former military officials like retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, and just on Monday, former Army infantry officer Vincent Viola for the position of secretary of the Army. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-12-20 |
