“Perhaps the most revealing portion of Flynn’s letter concerns the president’s inner circle. Flynn cautions that the very people Trump relies upon may themselves be part of the problem. Power has a peculiar way of changing the conversations people are willing to have with you.”
(Maureen Steele – PJ Media) There is an old military truth that Washington would do well to remember: the battlefield does not care how convincing your excuses are.
You can blame the weather, the terrain, faulty intelligence, inadequate resources, or the incompetence of your subordinates.

Flynn invoked a military practice known as the After Action Review, or AAR. It’s a disciplined examination of what was supposed to happen, what actually happened, why the two differed, and what must change before the next mission.
