USA TODAYWASHINGTON – Fox News host Lou Dobbs drew a backlash on Twitter after he made a post calling American military generals 'snowflakes' on Independence Day.
"No wonder these Snowflake Generals haven't won a war since 1991," Dobbs wrote, in reference to reports about military personnel being concerned about the politicization of the military in the context of President Donald Trump's Independence Day speech.Charles Pierce, a sportswriter and blogger, quipped"Insane Man Has Thoughts," as if his tweet were a newspaper headline.
Trump's planned speech has stoked controversy. In a departure from previous Independence Day traditions, Trump plans to hold a speech on the Lincoln Memorial complete with plane flyovers, tank displays, and fireworks. Trump's critics have argued that the president's speech threatens to politicize was a nonpartisan event in past years.Published 1:38 PM EDT Jul 4, 2019
