Yes, President Trump hired this group of people based on their looks:

I can find no references to President Trump allegedly wanting his "generals to look like generals". There are references to President Trump referring to a meeting at the Pentagon with a bunch of Generals who looked better than Tom Cruise and stronger. I'll entertain any references you can provide.

You also seem to contradict yourself. If President Trump allegedly hired people based on their looks and General Flynn looked "like an elf", why would President Trump have hired him as a consultant and then National Security Advisor?

It's nice that you are apparently either good friends with General Flynn or President Trump and know what their relationship was like and that General Flynn only told President Trump "what he wants to hear". It's tough to get insider information like that; so, the fact you imply you had it makes your article that much more insightful.

I also like how you imply that General Flynn only attained a 1.2 GPA at the University of Rhode Island. Even the Wikipedia link you provide notes that that was during his freshman year. I know I partied a little bit too much my freshman year. I don't find it strange that General Flynn's academics suffered.

The Wikipedia page notes that General Flynn received a three-year ROTC scholarship. Having also received an ROTC scholarship, I can assure you that you don't keep one for three years without maintaining passing grades and never failing a class. Suffice it to say General Flynn must have improved his overall GPA significantly from the 1.2 of his freshman year.

As far as the speech about "one religion", I couldn't find much more than that which you provided.

But, nothing in that blurb indicates General Flynn wanted to establish a state religion or prohibit the exercise of any others.

Having sworn an oath to "support and defend" the the Constitution several times during his military career, I have no doubt that General Flynn probably knows and understands the First Amendment very well.

I think many religious people believe others would be better served if they practiced the same faith. That doesn't mean they believe others should be forced to do so or be prohibited from practicing other faiths. There's nothing strange or "unconstitutional" about a belief like that.

So, I believe that part of your article, while useful to rile up your readers, doesn't make a lot of sense.

For what it's worth, I would like to see General Flynn honor his subpoena and appear before the committee investigating January 6.
