Donald Trump launched an unprecedented public attack against the leadership of the US military.
He is accusing them of waging wars to boost the profits of defense manufacturing companies.
"I'm not saying the military's in love with me -- the soldiers are, the top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy." Trump CNN reports the Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment on Monday's remarks.
Many are left wondering why he is targeting leaders he appointed to carry out his orders.
