Not what the military (or at least the generals) seem to think


"Distrusting expertise, Trump has contradicted and disparaged the intelligence community and presided over a dismantling of the State Department. This has meant leaving open ambassadorships around the world, including in countries vital to American interests such as Brazil, Canada, Honduras, Japan, Jordan, Pakistan, Russia, and Ukraine. High-level foreign officers, seeing no opportunities for advancement, have been leaving.

'When you lose these diplomats and ambassadors that have all this experience, this language capability, this cultural understanding, that makes things very, very difficult for us,' one of the generals said. 'And it leads to poor decisions down the line.' "

If you read the article you will see that this is not one-sided at all. Admittedly, it is only the opinion of a few 3-4 star generals that have worked with Trump.
