#1 Since Ovomit despises the military, this is no surprise.

Amateurs, arrogance and a distaste for how things are done in the real world lead to a Caligula type of leader.

#2 A little late, but at least Dempsey found his balls.

#3 I cannot believe that the POTUS has willingly allowed Iran to have the bomb.

What planet are we living on? Does anybody remember Christopher Hitchens saying Hezbollah (Iran) had changed their icon for use at rallies to be a mushroom cloud?

Obama is the worst US president in history. Under his watch we have:

* Nuclear armed Iran
* Rise of IS, unchecked
* Rise of domestic Islamofascism, unchecked and denied
* Race riots. Ironic as he is the first black president.

Holy crap.

I am living in a nation of 20 million people that depends on the US for existence. less than 100km to the north lies a 250-million Islamic nation with a rising tide of Islamofascism, where Hizb ut-Tahrir rallied last month with 300,000 members - like the Nuremburg rallies. A nation that has made compulsory halal certification on all food, pharma and cosmetics meaning ordinary citizens must subsidise the building of mosques and the further spread of Islamofascism.

Indonesia. Better troops and weapons than Australia.

We rely on the US security guarantee to stop the Indons from invading us.

And I am very nervous.

#4 ......#3 I cannot believe that the POTUS has willingly allowed Iran to have the bomb.

After watching him in action for over six long, painful years, I can fok'n bloody well believe it.

#5 And we Promised this Protection to you, anon1
It is not only about his horrid domestic policy, but a world in flames as he walks away, or does not.

Some kind of evil is he.

The Convicts have become accustomed to betrayal. They'll learn to cope with it. They're a tough lot.

Should've read up on Tiran Straights crisis, anon1.

#8 Some pundit stated that the only way it would be easier for Iran to get the nuke would be if we supplied them one from our arsenal.

King Hussein and his surrender monkeys have made the U.S. far less safe than it was in 2008. Got the Nobel; now going for the Neville Chamberlain award (WWIII).

2009 – Fort Hood, 13 killed, 29 wounded–many permanently disabled
2009 – Arkansas recruiting station, one killed, a second wounded
2010 – Pentagon shooting by a 9/11 truther, two wounded
2013 – Washington Navy Yard shooting, 13 killed, three injured

He and his cabal don't have your back. You're expendable for his narrative.

#10 Joint Chiefs should probably keep quiet since they have had plenty of opportunities to resign and make a point and have refused to. I'm thinking primarily about Champs pullout of forces from Iraq but there have been other debacles.

#11 And I am very nervous.

With good reason. Grow a beard, buy a prayer rug.

#12 Australia should have enlarged their military long ago. They've got everything required except the will to do so. Having said that I think you overestimate the quality of Indonesian troops/equipment. They could cut Australian trade but an attempted invasion would be a cluster for them.

#13 rj,

Spot on on resignations. If Dempsey could not see who 0 was in 2011 he was blinded by ambition or the pension. In either case, he comes out worse.
