"SNIP..........


Allen said that while he "didn't think [he'd] ever be involved in a presidential campaign," he has "agonized" over the rhetoric he's heard from Trump recently.

"While [Trump] appears not to understand basic military activities, it's not clear to me that he's interested in learning them either because there's a number of experts who I think … would advise him otherwise, but he seems to be confident in that knowledge," Allen said.

Trump's most recent bashing of the US military centered around the operation to retake Mosul, a major city in Iraq, from the terrorist group ISIS.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted: "The attack on Mosul is turning out to be a total disaster. We gave them months of notice. U.S. is looking so dumb. VOTE TRUMP and WIN AGAIN!"

1. It is going to be another George W. Bush adminstration where the President

is spoonfed all his policies by those who wrestle power and flatter Trump the best.

Bush already looks like a genius compared to Trump.
