‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

Jeffrey Goldberg: “Trump has frequently voiced his disdain for those who serve in the military and for their devotion to duty, honor, and sacrifice. Former generals who have worked for Trump say that the sole military virtue he prizes is obedience. As his presidency drew to a close, and in the years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship, and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver.”

Said Trump, in a private conversation: “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.”
