let's get more from barbara starr. >> just as president trump has tried to convince the world he's not making disparaging marks against the troops, he launched an unprecedented attack on his own military leaders and the president saying the commanders just want to stay at war to help benefit defense contractors. look, you know, presidents often chaffe when the president says just a few more months and we'll have victory. the president did something very different, he tied military advice to trying to benefit defense contractors and that is something i don't know any military person that wouldn't find offensive. in this country the u.s. military goes to war at the direction of the president of the united states and stays at war because the president tells them to. there was no presidential responsibility in his remarks. where it all goes from here because washington is on edge waiting to see if more information comes out, more revelations about what mr. trump may have said in the past about the u.s. troops. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >> thanks, barbara, for that. >>> democratic p
