How does the prez wannabe backtrack? He doesn't. He usually doubles down and never apologizes so we can expect more tributes directed toward the enemy country despotic leader/military and more attacks against his own country's prez/military. Can't we? I bet you can hardly wait to see what comes out of his unpatriotic mouth next can you? Me too neither! :(
Actually, he praised our military, but did say that Obama's policies have reduced the generals to rubble. When they can not act without getting 'permission' from Obama himself, and they allow the falsification of reports in order to make Obama happy, Trump has a strong point. In fact, even left leaning Political did an article on it 2012 and it's only gotten worse. The Generals go along with Obama or are forced into retirement (many of them with years yet to serve). A recent example of Obama's 'control' is the day-to-day operations is that the military had to have PERMISSION from Obama before they could attempt the rescue of the 2 kidnapped professors in Afghanistan. That caused a delay and when they FINALLY got there the hostages were gone. We've seen this same scenario over and over again with Obama. When a General speaks out against this, he's gone.
