Let's not mince words here. When he fired the military’s top lawyers who administer the military code of justice, it's because they intend to use the military to commit war crimes, probably in American cities that resist.

How many stories on the GOP's proposed cuts will suggest that it may make the GOP 'soft on crime'? any bets?

Maybe you should've started with this:
"Caine has not served in any of the roles — Joint Chiefs vice chairman, chief of staff for one of the branches of the armed service, or head of a combatant command — that nominees are legally required to have performed in order to be nominated."
