You might remember former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall (under Biden) who was stripped of his classified security clearance following an investigation which revealed him as the source of leaks surrounding Air Force One and President Trump’s security detail {GO DEEP}.
Today, ABC This Week with Martha Raddatz called upon Kendall to frame their latest attack against President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth. Mr Kendall expressed his disappointment that “senior military official and leaders” are taking orders from the Commander in Chief, President Trump, without upholding an expectation to defy the constitutional civilian leadership structure.
On one hand the disgraced former officer admits it is not the role of the military to consider politics; however, on the other hand he claims they have a responsibility to listen only when Democrat politicians are in power. Failing to adhere to this standard weakens the ability of the military to conduct unilateral operations outside the structures of American government. This, Kendall claims, is a serious problem.
Kendall points the finger at Secretary Pete Hegseth who has removed or downgraded military officers who believe they have more power than the elected President of the United States. Essentially, Frank Kendall advocates for the Mark Milley approach to the military system, where uniformed flag officers control policy irrespective of who is in the White House. Kendall believes if the Generals were in charge, the Iran conflict would never happen.
Eisenhower warned against people like Frank Kendall. WATCH:
Eisenhower warned – Kennedy Tried – Trump is doing.
Indeed.
Kendall & Raddatz. You couldn’t pick two people who are more eat up with TDS than those two.
“Plumb ate up with dumbass” is the phrase/vernacular I remember from working in Northeast Oklahoma decades ago.
TDS should be grandfathered into the original.
Still waiting for some big ass hammer to be dropped on the head of these turncoats….and their enablers.
I’d be happy with trials for treason, followed by the customary punishment.
Semi-related: Iraqi Kurds are attacking Iran on our behalf.
Useless generals wouldn’t have made that happen
And the Yeman army is attacking the Houthis while the Lebanese army is peaceably taking back their land from both Hezbollah and Israel. President Trump is changing the world order for the better.

It has been a long time since I served but when did that part in quotes become the rule?
Good thing he is out.
Never met the man. Don’t know much about him, but it sounds like there’s good reason for his official title to always include the word: former.
And “disgraced”….
This guy is disgraceful. He should be ashamed, but of course, as a democrat, that would never happen. As we see, he doubles down.
Spit Spit Spit. Treasonous activity has run amuck. Milley first then the rest of the congo line. Suffocating reprobates.
Did you know Frank Kendall’s name annagramed is PRICK! Who knew🤷♀️
I thought Seven Days in May was fiction, not a how-to manual.
One heck of a movie, and one everyone should watch at least once.
Especially now.
Burt Lancaster as the treasonous, usurper General.
Kirk Douglas as his attaché.
Frederick March as the President.
Super screenplay by Rod Serling.
Edge of the seat stuff.
And in the bowels of the Pentagon today, probably not “just a movie”.
The trailer for those who have never seen it and who may be interested.
Betsy: Going to watch it again right now. Probably the 5th time but the next time my youngest son comes over that’ll be the sixth!
It never gets old, Steve. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched it, each time new again. And as the times change and darken, with new eyes as well. It will be interesting for you to get your son’s reaction 👍🏻
It’s just history.
Arrogant human beings have done tons of stupid sh*t through the centuries…..
I only remember vague bits and pieces from long ago.
Will attempt a refresher course immediately.
Typical DC RAT. Same talking points as those 6 idiots. Senator Kelly was one..
T for TREASON
Once weapons were manufactured to fight wars.
Now wars are manufactured to sell weapons.
Why would any media interview a corrupt military national security leader?
And, as to Kendall…good gosh. So glad he is gone. He was absolutely part of the corrupt deep state problem.
Didn’t care when Obama fired top military leaders to align with his political policy….
didn’t care when Biden fired military personnel who refused covid vax due to religious objections….
didn’t care when DEI was prioritized over competence…
Didn’t care when Gen Milley said he would leak intel to China if he didn’t like what Trump Adm was doing…
And so on on so on….but somehow thinks military should revolt if they don’t like Trump’s lawful orders.
“ Why would any media interview a corrupt military national security leader?”
Cmon that’s easy.
A. He despises President Trump
B. He advocates defying President Trump
C. It’s ABC, one of the worst corrupt globalist-aligned MSM networks.
It would be very newsworthy if ABC didn’t interview an anti Trump character or didnt try to trip up a pro-Trump guest.
Sedition another name for Kendall or Kendall another name for skunk.
Nice try IC.
In your ear IC.
The Secretary of War DOES report to the Commander-in-Chief! It’s why you were fired!

Understanding Article 90 of the UCMJ

Violating Article 90 can lead to severe repercussions for military personnel. The consequences may include:
Courts-Martial: Service members may face a court-martial, which is a military trial for offenses under the UCMJ.
Penalties: Possible penalties for a conviction can include:
Confinement
Reduction in rank
Forfeiture of pay
……….
The MPs should be hauling this guy to the brig. He is being seditious right on national tv.
The voters and the American people are in charge of the direction our country takes and we voted for no more wars. That’s what we were promised. Now it’s this kinda stuff while the deepstate perfects their stranglehold.
Ike was right.
Ike was the president when I was a kid.
Same here.
McCarthy was right.
“I couldn’t serve this administration.” Truth. But he is a liar. I seem to remember Obama getting rid of 300 generals, or officers. Whatever. They pulled this guy out of mothballs. What won’t the deep state attack? Hard to listen to people of this ilk.
Not sure on the total number of generals, but it in the end it amounted to over a 1000 commanding officers/upper positions. At least that was what reported at the time.
It was also said that the litmus test given to weed out those who were eliminated a/o forced to take early retirement… “would you comply with shooting American citizens if given the order?” Those who said “No,” had to go.
Most didn’t want to believe it at the time. Given what we know now– I do not doubt it for a second.
These Oath Breaking POS like Kendall and Miley should have seen much worse then just taking a security clearance from them.
Miley contacting the CCP and subversive activities that Miley took should have cleared a room at Leavenworth.
It sounds like the establishment are making the case that there is an insurrection against what the American people voted for; something that America needs to put down.
Pentagon leaks: polygraphs aren’t enough
Leaks won’t stop until leakers face the death penalty.

Another hit against President Trump … I’ve lost count long ago. At this point, even if they had a legitimate beef I would discount it since all they do is try to tear down our patriotic president.
It might be different if they would ever acknowledge the good things he has done. I sometimes wonder if they will finally appreciate what we had after his term expires, since they will no longer get any mileage out of the continual berating.
Classic sour grapes.
Martha Raddatz & Debbie Dingell sound just alike: whiny and not too bright
The internet media is doing exactly the same process that MSM has done.
I forsee a purge coming for those that are participating.
Anytime the propaganda calls for ‘former employees’ to inform the public of information,
you can expect a political slant.
I refuse to even believe the info they spew unless it can be confirmed by other sources.
