Joe Kent, veteran and Washington state congressional candidate, says Trump revealed military politicization
Fox News
Washington state congressional candidate Joe Kent, a U.S. Army veteran and Gold Star husband, joined Fox Nation's “Tucker Carlson Today” on Friday to sound off about the politicization of the military
The Defense bureaucracy, Kent claimed, most prominently took issue with Trump's stated goal of pulling U.S. troops out of the Middle East, which the veteran said goes against the proclivity for the government to support "lucrative programs… like wars." "There was those of us that were on the ground that have been fighting the wars, we really liked President Trump's foreign policy. Because ISIS had taken over two countries at that time, three if you count Libya. And he said, hey, I want the caliphate crushed --you all in there, crush the caliphate, and we're getting out," Kent told host Tucker Carlson. "So he gave us the tools that we needed, the authority we needed to go in and conduct that mission. But then, he attempted to, at least, get us out."
