Then maybe top brass needs to do something about what the creature in the white house is planning.
"Let's use our cities as military training grounds" was a pretty big fucking hint, wouldn't you say?

Well when J6 2.0 rolls around, they'll need loyalists that they've been grooming for 4 years in place.
That's the plus side for them. The down side is if the US gets into a proper military fight, they won't have anyone experienced to do logistics and operations.
Think back about how badly the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan but make it 80% worse.
In a way it makes this Canadian feel slightly better. If Hegseth decides to invade Canada there is a non-zero chance he sends troops to Cambodia.
Maybe dead American soldiers coming home in body bags will finally break the cult? It's one thing to chant about how "Jews will not replace us" and throw seig heils in support of Trump when things are quiet for America on the global scale. It's another thing to do it when your kid comes home in a body bag.
Come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to Vietnam Canada
Come on fathers, don't hesitate
Send your daughters off before it's too late
Be the first one on your block
To have your kids come home in a box
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
The next stop is Vietnam Canada
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Yeah, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
Another headline from the US that makes me go "hmmm, where have I seen this before..."
I would think it pretty obvious why: to replace them with yes-men figureheads who will do the dumbest shit possible at a whim.
It does sound like what you'd expect from someone trying to destroy the US military's effectiveness.
No explanation needed as he’s putting in sycophants who will happily protect the GOP from having, or losing an election.
This is how you ensure a military caste ousts you from office. sigh I'm afraid for the future. 😐
Replacing seasoned military leadership with yes-men sounds short-sighted, even for this bunch.
And the world is observing us become more vulnerable…
After 30 or 40 years in the military, all the generals care about is that sweet, sweet pension. They arent going to do any brave that might jeopardize that. They'll let america be over run with facists as long as they can retire with benefits.
Tuesday is Veterans day. They want all the honor, but none of the sacrafice.
What would you have them do? Launch a coup? It’s a challenging position for them to be in
What would you have them do? Launch a coup?
When you have a commander-in-chief who is openly stating his intent to use our military to commit violence on american citizens?
Absolutely fucking yes.
I guess my thought is that should wait until actually ordered to do commit violence. Coups are very, very damaging to democracies and often beget more coups. It should only really be a last resort if civil mechanisms completely fail.
I do understand the wish that someone could just easily removal him from power though. The man is unhinged.
I dont know the right answer. I have no idea what i would do in that situation. These are uncertain times. Alot of americans will have to make tough decisions.
I guess we'll see if americans really are as brave as we think and that we love democracy as much as we claim.
We know why. They’ve literally been talking about loyalty to one person for an entire decade now.
The media are the only ones pretending to be confused.
Oh.. I think we why whisky leaks would be doing this
Bill Kristol (conservative commentator I think) also questioned it on tweeter:

Purges of senior military officers.
If this were happening elsewhere, we'd understand right away what was happening.
It's hard to grasp that it's happening here. But it is...
