okay, someone has to do the funniest possible thing now.

protect American population centers by blowing it up in the dumbest least aggressive 'we know all the facts and still aren't sure it was on purpose' way possible. like leave some fertilizer and molasses out next to each other on a hot day and be called off to something else before they're moved.

    The service members expressed concerns about being part of what Weinstein called a “grotesque public spectacle” and fear that participating in the execution would violate the biblical commandment against murder.

    The military technically removed the President from control after January 6; it is the reason that all former Secretaries of Defense signed on to that letter after January 6 to provide the military cover for responding and likely not obeying Presidential orders.

    Now combine that with Trump getting the military trapped in a forever war and appearing incapable of providing decent civilian leadership in the process. Worse, Trump's actions are likely going to lead to a withdrawal from several theatres of war and that's going to lead to a weaker peacetime military. And there is nothing that Trump can give the military that the military actually wants.

    It could go two ways. Trump wasn't originally a threat, nor was his corrupted cucknest of cronies. So the way I see it, the few that advertise get medals of honor and billy bob buys his bacon from them for the rest of his short life... or nobody does and it's too late anyway.

    The only solution is for the majority to carry trump to Boston harbor, throw him in. Fish him out with his soggy diaper and haul him off to an uncorrupted court to judge him and his gaggle of garglefuks into the justices that THEY deserve.

    Bear in mind that he only really interfaces with the ultra high level people. The mid and low level officers haven't been purged and are at least fairly pragmatic on this kinda stuff. It's a massive convoluted organization and there are plenty of options for slow walking things, at least for a time.

    The enlisted soldiers are much less likely to have college degrees and are more likely to be RWNJ true believers. That said trump/hegseth have done a truly amazing job at making them not want to die for this shit.

    If someone wanted to try some shit, it would have to come down to how competently executed it was and my gut says (hopes?) the bar is getting high enough I don't think trump/hegseth have it in them.

    I often wonder how many are loyal and how many aren't. And the high ranking leadership who were removed en masse ; where did they go? Are there pockets of officers still loyal to the disposed of leadership? Are there organized groups of soldiers within the branches who are ready to follow orders against their own government?

    Internal Pentagon politics must be wild right now. The external ones sure are.
