    I really don't know what the current ROE are with armed UAV's.

    From my understanding Trump isn't micromanaging the military and are allowing the generals and admirals to do their job.

    They didn't brag about it on every available media.

    Not surprising, when you have no answer just blame Pres. Obama. Smfh.

    Really, he said he knows more than the generals.

    We both know Trump could care less about military policy. He's like most Americans: foreign policy utterly bores him, except when it comes to trade deals. I don't blame him for that. He ran as a businessman. He specifically said we were stupid for blundering into these wars. And he was right. Americans are sick of this.

    But if you're going to run as a businessman, assemble a good team to advise you, because you're going to have to do foreign policy whether you like it or not. Right now, our foreign policy is a shambles. We just told the world Iran launched a major attack on our ally, and we're doing what about it? Sending a couple of hundred troops to the region? You can't be happy with this situation.

    I get it. I don't want a war either. But this is a mess, we look bad, it's happening under Trump's watch, and he bares responsibility because he tore up an agreement his predecessor had made. The buck stops with Trump.

    LOL! As I said, Excuses ,Excuses.... BTW, Trump, whose sleaze is a fact, was elected President by those who didn't care ...so they shouldn't really bring others up..

    ""He's like most Americans: foreign policy utterly bores him""

    Please don't speak for "most" Americans.

    And the President should NOT be "bored" with foreign policy, he should be interested and actively involved in it...that is his JOB.

    It's going to cost trillions of dollars and thirty or more years to repair the damage that the Obama administration inflicted upon our military and national security.

    President Trump inherited Obama's PC Navy and can't even put three Carrier Strike Groups (CSG) to sea in their assigned AOR's.
    Remember when President Bush (43) was able to put 10 Carrier Battle Groups (CDG) to sea when the Chi-Coms were rattling their sabers ?

    Last week one CSG went to sea on it's six month deployment and the aircraft carrier was left behind in port.

    US Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) has suffered a breakdown in its electrical distribution system, a USNI News report said.

    Pres. Obama must have gotten on the ship and put in a bad circuit breaker. What ****ing disgrace, there is nothing Trumpers won't stoop to.

    Iran like Al Qaeda, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood the Taliban and all Islamist jihadist are scared of Trump as President and basically hate Trump and have joined the Democrats "Resistance."

    The last thing the above want to see is Donald Trump being reelected in 2020.

    So Iran has been baiting and trolling President Trump to bomb Iran and starting another war in the Middle East.

    So far the generals, admirals and Pompeo have convinced Trump not to take the bait.

    General "Mad Dog" Mattis and neocon John Bolton would have encouraged President Trump to take the bait, hook line and sinker.

    Lets put it this way, when Obama entered the White House 17% of the Navy's ships couldn't put to sea and fight on any given day.

    Basically the lack of maintenance.

    When Obama left the White House less than 50% of the Navy's ships were able to put to sea and fight.

    Taking money away from training for war and maintenance to be spent on stupid stuff like PC social engineering of the military isn't the best way to spend the taxpayers dollars.

    Give us a link or stats for your opinion. Your earlier bullshit on the USS Truman was untrue.

    After looking at the Middle Eat after Obama left the White House, a complete basket case, I really wished that Obama hadn't got involved in foreign policies.

    Sorry dude, that classified information.

    U.S. military combat readiness ratings are classified for a number of years before they can be made public.

    Actually the Congressional Accounting Office (CAO) ****ed up and published the classified information.

    It was eventually scrubbed from the CAO website but was it intentional or just a careless mistake ?

    Someone got the message out.

    Actually while it was long rumored people who were there with Eisenhower during that period doubt he ever had an affair with his driver. They've said he never had an opportunity.

    Kennedy and LBJ are the major adulterers as president as far as we know in the last 100 years or so. Kennedy's sexual escapades are well known but LBJ was very vocal about how many women he got.

    He once said

    "I got more women by accident than Kennedy got on purpose".

    I think we are deliberately obfuscating because we got caught making yet another stupid statement to deflect from something Trump did and yet again we aren't prepared to walk it back.

    Welcome to Appyworld.

    The idea that a President who has been in power for two and a half years is incapable of changing the ROEs of a prior administration is beyond laughable. It is pathetic. Different day, same BS.

    Obama’s policies have been (nearly) wiped out. You only see his skin color though. Sad.

    Ps. Bush wasn’t much better.
