The GOP is at a new low. Some congressmen are urging military generals to resign because of Obama's

[LoganIsAwesome]

[QUOTE]Congressional Republican condemnations of President Obama’s foreign policy are as common as the sunrise. Congressional Republicans urging active-duty U.S. generals to resign, during a war, to protest President Obama’s foreign policy is something else entirely.

As U.S.-led airstrikes continue Friday near the Syrian border with Iraq, it’s hard to imagine what would make the situation worse than the military suddenly losing all its generals.

But that is exactly what Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) told a group of voters he wants to see happen, the Colorado Independent reported.

“A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, ‘Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let’s have a resignation,’” Lamborn said Tuesday, adding that if generals resigned en masse in protest of President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy, they would “go out in a blaze of glory.”

Look, I don’t expect much from Lamborn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. After eight years in Congress, arguably his most notable legislative accomplishment is championing a House-approved measure to cut off funding for NPR.[/QUOTE]

"We don't want boots on the ground!"

"Okay, we'll just do some air strikes and let the arab states deal with that part."

"Wow faggot your foreign policy towards ISIS is shit ALL GENERALS RESIGN NOW, PROTEST OBUMMER!"

The GOP are being brainless as usual. More news at 11.

The Islamic State is not going to be destroyed by air-strikes, unless said air strikes includes a thermonuclear weapon(/sarcasm). If anything, all we are achieving at the moment is just pissing off the civilians that are under occupation by the IS. The only way to win this war is by an organized UNSC resolution which deploys tons of forces and troops on the ground.

Yeah but we don't want to

Also a successful UNSC resolution is impossible. Russia will veto and China will abstain or veto if Russia somehow does not veto.

Also, ISIS is not a state, it is a bunch of thugs pretending to be a state.

Let just the middle east deal with the middle east.

The military, while mostly conservative, is WAY too patriotic to listen to the GOP's bullshit.

[Samiam]

I don't really understand how GOP, a group of chickenhawks and morons, has the audacity to say what military generals should and shouldn't be doing

I'm not American, so it seems strange to me that such an arrogant party has such a huge amount of political influence

[EmperorScorpious]

Because generals doing something like that is totally letting the military be under civilian control. This would set a [I]horrible[/I] precedent.

[Alice]

How about the people suggesting this set a good example for the generals by doing it first?
