Worry Rises In Military Over Trump Decisions

“Tensions that have been mounting for months between some of the nation’s most senior military officers and President Trump are boiling over after his decision to intervene in the cases of three service members accused of war crimes,” CNN reports.

“A long-serving military officer put it bluntly, telling CNN ‘there is a morale problem,’ and senior Pentagon officials have privately said they are disturbed by the President’s behavior.”

“Dismay in the Pentagon has been building over Trump’s sporadic, impulsive and contradictory decision-making on a range of issues, including his sudden pullback of troops in Syria. But now there are new and significant worries, as multiple military officials and retired officers say Trump’s intervention into high-profile war crimes cases cannot be ignored.”
