In an interview with National Public Radio on Sunday, retired Army Gen. Jack Keane said that the U.S. military could defeat the Islamic State if the commander-in-chief asks for and implements its plan.
“The military knows how to fight a war,” Keane said. “And I told [Trump] - if you're going to do what you suggest - said you were going to do and ask for a campaign plan from the Pentagon for how to defeat ISIS, believe me, you'll get a comprehensive campaign plan with many options in it that this president has never asked for.”
Keane said that, in fact, Obama routinely did not take the advice given to him by the military or, if taken, “reduced” those recommendations.

What type of President does not ask for plans, for all options to defeat the enemy?
It's inconceivable, but with the amount of incompetence we've witnessed during the past 8-years, it is not surprising at all.
So much of this job was way above his pay grade. He is the definition of The Peter Principle. Simply in way above his head.
