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.
Still waiting for some big ass hammer to be dropped on the head of these turncoats….and their enablers.
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.
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.
Typical DC RAT. Same talking points as those 6 idiots. Senator Kelly was one..
T for TREASON
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.
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!

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.
“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.
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.
