#9  I don't know anything about the General but he is a Gentleman and she did apoligise. That's enough for me.

#8  There's something about that oath to the Constitution to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that keeps people from getting too ambitious about power grabs. Another reason to be grateful for our military.

About that oath. When do you think they might actually step and carry it out? Seems to me, since Congress won't do their job it's time for the Military to step in. There is certainly enough justification.

#7  I'da pulled the Ye Olde Fake Trip and dumped it right in her lap. "Oh! I am soooo sorry...bitch!"
I'd be a lousy four star general.

#5  Anyone would have immediately and deeply apologize to the General for the mistake as soon as they realized it.

#4  I've actually been trying to avoid this topic.

But I had a thought in the midst of my non-sleep last night.

Let's pretend the general in question _really was a waiter_.

Does that change Ms. Jarrett's behavior away from being impolite?

I mean, I'm unsure you're even supposed to be treating _waitstaff_ like that.

#3  Chiarelli's a nice guy. All the Army 4-stars are nice guys. That's how they get to the E-ring. But I'd like to see her pull that stunt with Mattis.

#2  The left has never seemed to have much respect for our military--the left's biggest obstacle and headache. There's something about that oath to the Constitution to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that keeps people from getting too ambitious about power grabs. Another reason to be grateful for our military.

#1  Of course, if ANYONE had no previous experience with our military, other than commie think tanks, community organizing, and protests with Ayers and Dorne
