Letter From Lawyer John Dowd On James Mattis Over Mattis’ On Trump



These actions came on top of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's release of a statement to *all* commanding officers of every branch of the armed forces reminding them all that they swear an "oath to the Constitution," that the Constitution gives "Americans the right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly," and then handwrote a message that they have all "committed their lives to the idea that is America" and they would all "stay true to that oath and the American people."


If that wasn't enough, today the entire senior leadership of the Army released a statement to the troops reminding them that they all "swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution [and] that includes the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of their grievances."


And now a letter from the senior leadership of the Navy (copy in the comments) telling all sailors and Marines that they are the "strongest Navy and Marine Corps BECAUSE of our diversity," quoting MLK Jr. that "The time is always right to do what is right," and encouraging folks to discuss the death of George Flynn with their people with the understanding that "the outrage sparked by his death goes much deeper across many communities in our great Nation."





So you have the leadership of the Marines, the Army and the Navy backing General Mattis.

Against your fat lawyer who is hoping to land a job working for Trump after Trump is kicked out in November.

Shame on you.

Sorry, but the civilians are in charge of the military. If the military is going to engage in saber rattling at the Commander in Chief, you rightly are going to see an avalanche of heads rolling. I don’t care who is president. The military has no business in military affairs.

And BTW, rather than read the letter, you decided to hijack the thread instead. Dowd may be fat, but what fattens up your resume?

Are you unfamiliar with the term mutiny?

They could be recommended for courts martial, but I’m not sure retired officers are included. But if they are considered “re callable” then the government has a good case.

There are no civilian jurors in a court martial.

Yeah, you do that.... go ahead, make our year. That move would cost Trump another 50 electoral votes..... The ship is sinking and the rats are fleeing. Feel free to go down on the good ship Trump, and be on the wrong side of American history, if that is how you wish to be remembered.
