Martin Dempsey as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Adm. Sandy Winnefeld as vice chair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These two distinguished military leaders have earned my trust and that of the American people,&#8221; Obama said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, so what about the trust of the American service members? Dempsey has come down against retired military veterans when he told Congress that he wouldn&#8217;t mind paying a little more for his healthcare, so the rest of us shouldn&#8217;t. Marty blamed our troops for the &#8220;green-on-blue&#8221; attacks against them because they were insensitive to the Muslim culture. He allowed the commanders to disarm his troops while they were in combat so as not to make their &#8220;allies&#8221; uncomfortable, inviting more &#8220;green-on-blue&#8221; attacks against our troops. Dempsey wrapped his arms around the myth that al Qaeda has been &#8220;decimated&#8221; despite clear evidence of their resurgence in Iraq, Africa and Syria. Dempsey has also led the way promoting lower standards for our combat arms troops so that more women could can fill those slots.<\/p>\n<p>Dempsey reappointment is merely because he doesn&#8217;t push back against the politicians when they make ill-considered decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us a link from USAToday the great news that Marty Dempsey is getting &hellip; <a title=\"Dempsey to be renominated\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36408\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dempsey to be renominated<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36408\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
