Trump National Security Adviser Pick Michael Flynn Has Medals — and Baggage
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-national-security-adviser-pick-has-medals-baggage-n685681
2010, Michael Flynn, then an Army major general, co-authored a scathing report arguing that military intelligence was failing in Afghanistan, and largely irrelevant to the counterinsurgency campaign being waged there.
The well-received expose propelled Flynn's rise to become the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2012, serving as a senior figure in an intelligence apparatus ultimately reporting to President Barack Obama.
But two years later, Flynn was forced out — accused, by officials speaking not for attribution, of being a bad manager who left a chaos in his wake...
Devin Nunes, told the Washington Post, "This is a guy who has the president's trust, has credentials with the military, credentials with the intelligence community and credibility with Congress."
Flynn served as the top intelligence officer for the Joint Special Operations Command under Stanley McChrystal, one of the most celebrated generals of his generation. He fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. His decorations include the defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star. Some Democrats were cautiously optimistic.....
Reed said he had concerns about some of the statements he made in the heat of the campaign, but that now he is "taking on a very different and challenging new civilian role. He is familiar with the complex set of security challenges we face. And President-elect Trump does not have a wealth of experience in this arena." .....
ome of Flynn's rhetoric makes military people "very uncomfortable," retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey said on MSNBC's "11th Hour" late Thursday.
But Flynn is "the best intelligence officer of his generation," McCaffrey said. "He's a good guy. He's objective. He's tough."
"He and General Stan McChrystal and Dave Petraeus are the reason we haven't had a dozen 9/11s since then — they've just been relentless in confronting the global jihadist community," McCaffrey said.
There is also the matter of Flynn accepting payment — he won't say how much — from Russia's state broadcaster, Russia Today, for appearing on its air.

get a grip. do some research for once in your life,and quit mindless parroting.
First off -as much as I despise Erdogan -he IS PM of Turkey and a partner in NATO.
"Supporting Erdogan" means nothing..
Here. I'll do the research for you as always. from the MSNBC link I posted.

On Election Day, Flynn authored an op-ed in the Hill, a Washington newspaper, in which he lambasted Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish cleric residing in Pennsylvania who is blamed by the Turkish government for fomenting a July coup attempt there.
In an interview with NBC News, the businessman, Ekim Alptekin, acknowledged that he is a longtime opponent of the Gulen movement, but he disputed that the Flynn article was written as part of his lobbying agreement with Flynn. He also argued that he was not an agent of the Turkish government.
"What raised so many eyebrows was how sharply the op-ed diverged from Flynn's previous positions and how it appeared to be in complete conformity with the Turkish government's positions," wrote Michael Rubin, a conservative scholar with the American Enterprise Institute.
groaning is proof you triggered peoplei like triggering people
Rune took it to a new low -it was becoming distracting
Erdogan isn't one of the good guys idiot.
He presently has 120 journalists in prison.
You are an idiot
you notice how everytime someone Trump's base likes is mentioned it is always a "terrible" pick or something like that but everytime an establishment figure is mentioned like i dunno romney for secretary of state is mentioned it is always a great idea?
Can you guess what the media is trying to do?

Each and every appointment Trump makes will be treated the same way.....terrible pick, a racist, a sexist, a bigot, not the right temperament, too short, too tall, too rich, too poor, etc, etc. etc.....
as a result of the coup attempt.
I never said he was a "good guy" -the US supported him during the coup attempt.
I'd rather have seen him overthrown,but the POINT is he has the 2nd largest military in NATO
screw the media. The NYTimes confessed to bias -extreme bias at that. WaPo was nothing more then an arm of the Clinton campaign.you notice how everytime someone Trump's base likes is mentioned it is always a "terrible" pick or something like that but everytime an establishment figure is mentioned like i dunno romney for secretary of state is mentioned it is always a great idea?

I haven't seen any changes either despite the promises to reform itself.
I get what you are saying..at this point it's all noise until he governs
we won the election. Now they are trying to win the cabinet
Its good that trust in the media is at an all time low.yep.The NYTimes and WaPo are only good for 'fish-wrappings' ( what we used to call worthless newsprint papers)we won the election. Now they are trying to win the cabinet

We are all a contradiction of some sort...
I don't know that anyone from these papers ever got jobs in the Obama administration, or would in a Clinton administration.
