Quoted:
Not to speak for the general directly, but in his role he was required to view central and south America as a military challenge. He knows the absolute worst things about the immigrants coming north and he knows, better than most, the viciousness of the central American gangs, the Mexican drug lords, and the south American dictatorships. If anyone is going to come into that position with the most negatives ideas about central and south american immigrants it will be him. He also knows the no shit TS level details of how the Central and South American governments actively encourage their citizens to move to the US, collect US government welfare checks and send them back. The fact he lost his son in Afghanistan also means he has paid full price for his citizenship and values it deeply. I don't know the man. He isn't a legend like Mattis, but he is a well respected marine who didn't last long as CMC due to, I assume, his disagreements with Obama. I'll assume that its a fantastic pick based upon my limited knowledge. View Quote Thanks for the synopsis. This is great news!!! MAGA |

third general to be selected for a position. the left must be completely insane now https://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif Donald Trump is tapping Gen. John Kelly to run the Department of Homeland Security, CBS News confirms.
The final request and acceptance, sources told CBS’ Major Garrett, occurred while Kelly was traveling in Europe. His pick for DHS secretary will be announced by the transition staff in the coming days. Kelly is the third general tapped by the president-elect, joining Gen. James Mattis, Mr. Trump’s pick to become the next secretary of Defense, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s incoming national security advisor. Like Mattis, Kelly is a Marine with a reputation for bluntness. Kelly was the commander of U.S. Southern Command until earlier this year. In that posting, he oversaw American military operations in South America and Central America. ....

Hell yea! General Kelly is a great man and Marine. I think he will do a great job. His son, a young Lieutenant, was KIA in Afghanistan with 3/5 during a green on blue attack, I remember hearing about it shortly after it happened. What's a green on blue attack? An attack on us by "friendly" Afghan forces, I imagine. |
