Having read the thoughts of a US defence employee on this thread, and those of CP's big-birds, I wondered how general officers have commented on Trump's leadership.
This was the first response past my enquiry......................:-

America’s Top Generals: Donald Trump is “Dangerous” and “Unfit” to Be Commander-in-Chief
OCTOBER 9, 2023
As Donald Trump tries to rewrite his record on the world stage, here’s a reminder that our military’s top brass – including those who served under Trump – have condemned the disgraced former president’s reckless behavior on the world stage and slammed his dangerous foreign policy agenda.
Former Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley – who Trump recently suggested be executed – has called Trump a threat to democracy and the institution of the military.
The Atlantic: “Trump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley”
Milley: “As much as these comments are directed at me, it’s also directed at the institution of the military, and there’s 2.1 million of us in uniform. And the American people can take it to the bank that all of us, every single one of us, from private to general, were loyal to that constitution and will never turn our back on it no matter what.”
The Guardian: “Mark Milley: Retiring General Appears To Call Trump ‘Wannabe Dictator’”
CNN: “‘They’re Not Going To F**king Succeed’: Top Generals Feared Trump Would Attempt A Coup After Election, According To New Book”
CNN: “Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump’s top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to ‘Peril,’ a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.”
Trump’s own former Defense Secretary James Mattis resigned during Trump’s tenure and slammed Trump as “dangerous,” “unfit,” and a threat to the Constitution.
New York Times: “Jim Mattis, Defense Secretary, Resigns In Rebuke Of Trump’s Worldview.”
The Atlantic: “James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him As A Threat To The Constitution”
