He's an idiot and a bully who acts and speaks like his "warfighters" (a term that raises my hackles) are his little toy soldiers to play with. I couldn't keep watching. His disregard for the lives and wellbeing of our troops is palpable, as is true for his boss. Both of them just want to kill people and our troops are their proxies. I also noted Department of War on the logo behind him.
