One must feel for our senior generals. After all their plotting and scheming to drive out that horrible Donald Trump, with his old-fashioned ideas about winning decisively or cutting the nation’s losses and walking away, they’re stuck with a perverted, senile corruptocrat who not only openly despises them but actually agrees with The Donald about pulling out — and is going to shame them before the entire world by making them haul down the colours on 9/11. What exactly one feels may be one of the less savoury emotions, to be sure, but one feels it very strongly indeed.
