I'm worried about our troops that are in harms way bc Pres. Trump hasn't released the secret plan that he promised us. Don't you care about the troops?

If its Secret, and he releases it, wouldn't THAT lead to our troops being in harms way?

At least he's keeping it off of the e-mail server that's in the closet.

I didn't ask that he release it to me. I was removed from the list of people authorized to implement war plans.

How about releasing it to the Generals?

Because then he can't criticize him for not sharing it with the generals.

The man has been in office for a couple of months. I don't like the paranoid tweets, his vulgar language, I don't like how thin-skinned he is (so was Obama, who never ever let a criticism pass).

But isn't it common for them to outline vague plans (especially early on), before releasing the details? Can we at least pretend to apply the same standards to Trump that were applied to his predecessors?

He certianly doesn't have to tell me what the secret plans are but why not tell us that he has released them? If he did release them, what the heck is taking so long for the Generals to implement them - we have soldiers at risk plus civilians and Iraqi soldiers are dying? Why did he recently say he was going to ask the Generals to come up with a plan w/in 30 days? He has stated he has low regard for the Generals, so why would he want to see their plans?
