Speaks.

This is coolbert:

Personally I would prefer these senior American military officers would not talk this way.

1. "US General Speaking in the Philippines: We're ready for war in Asia"

From Hotair ^ | 02/09/2023 | Jazz Shaw | the tip from Free Republic.

"Maj. Gen. Joseph Ryan is the Commanding General of the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division, based in Hawaii. He’s in the Philippines this week, meeting with some of his Asian counterparts and preparing for several weeks of scheduled military exercises with our allies in the region."

2. "U.S. general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to get ready"

From yahoo.com | Courtney Kube and Mosheh Gains | original story NBC News  January 27, 2023

"A four-star Air Force general sent a memo on Friday to the officers he commands that predicts the U.S. will be at war with China in two years and tells them to get ready to prep by firing 'a clip' at a target, and 'aim for the head.'"

NORMALLY pronouncements of this nature by senior military men are highly frowned upon. ESPECIALLY when done in a public setting. Can create too much rancor and problems where not needed.

In particular I am thinking of U.S. General officer John K. Singlaub. 

"In 1977, Singlaub was relieved from his position as Chief of Staff of U.S. forces in South Korea after criticizing President Jimmy Carter's proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula in an interview with the Washington Post."

IT IS NOT SO MUCH THE CRITICISM ITSELF BUT THAT IT WAS DONE IN A PUBLIC SETTING.
