Don't forget the DoD

There are more than a few generals that will be encouraged to retire.

Why?

Those who went to the "meeting" to discuss how to disobey Trump's orders need to find a hole and crawl into it.

Every military member understands what mutiny is. And the potential penalty it carries.

I like to think I'd be lenient; I'd demote them at least 4 ranks and then discharge them with a dishonorable.

If I wasn't so lenient, I'd just hang them all.

I hope they will at least form a pact to shoot Trump dead immediately if he ever asks for the nuclear launch codes. This is NOT a normal, mentally stable president, and his election does not change that.

Interesting that those that seem to be shooting off their mouths so freely have never served and know nothing about the military from an internal perspective.

Obama began politicizing the military, from a partisan perspective, halfway through his first term. By the time he left office the transition was 90% complete to include the purging of up and coming junior officers who didn't exhibit the proper 'political purity.' Trump, being a DC outsider when he first took office was unaware of what had taken place in spite of some of the signs until Miley showed his true colors. So, the senior ranks are going to be purged right along with their DEI initiatives.

People who have served expressing the dismantling of officer positions ......interesting.

I was told that part of training was not to question your leaders in the military. Maybe that's just different ....

The notion that the military services members are just mind wiped robots is a myth that seems to have taken root in the community that believes themselves to be 'intellectually superior.'

The oath is to the constitution, NOT to any individual living or dead.

That's not the notion I suggested. I was focused on chain of command.

I'm aware.

Tell that to Trump.

BTW, there seems to be some misunderstanding that there is going to be some uprising from the rank and file, or that the president is going to send some goons over to arrest those officers. No, the president will merely say, "Hand in your resignation." ALL military officers serve at the pleasure of the president.

He'll fire those who are loyal to the Constitution above him. Imagine what caliber of generals we'll get as a result.

"I want the kind of generals Hitler had." When Hitler came to power, he made all officers swear an oath of loyalty to him, personally.

You folks aren't picking up on this at all. This IS going to happen and nothing you have to say is going to stop it.

The only thing that we who pay attention to such things are discussing are worthy candidates to replace what is going to go away.

Now you are making Trump's assassination sound utterly indispensable.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

He should call a meeting Saddam Hussein style.

Mutiny is treason and carries the very real possibility of the death penalty..... I couldn't/wouldn't be lenient they betrayed their pledge, their oath and have proven to be a liar..... just my humble opinion....

Their oath is to the Constitution, not to a single man or woman.

OK, that is what I meant... the oath to uphold the constitution...... not any single person.... I didn't say anyone, I wrote they betrayed their oath...

Trump believes the US military should be run by NASCAR drivers.

Damn Dude you fall farther off the cliff of sanity with every post.
