There's an extraordinary article on Slate.com about senior active duty military officials having become the proverbial "adults in the room" to corral President Trump and his phalanx of shoot-first police officers.
Trump attempted to dress down the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley, who evidently raised his voice right back at Trump and told him he was not going to follow unlawful orders. Trump gave a direct order to the JCS to being in the 82nd Airborne and suppress protestors. Milley said no.
That was extraordinary, but then Milley leaked a memo to conservative Bill Kristol to his direct reports reminding them they took an oath to serve the Constitution, not the President. That is the military equivalent of a slap to the face of Trump.
Every day this past week has been a four star general or admiral taking a shot at Trump. Tomorrow (Sunday), General Colin Powell is expected to make the round of Sunday talk shows criticizing Trump.
The battle lines are being drawn: The military and the Constitution vs. Trump and his out-of-control brownshirt police departments.

About fucking time.
