Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

    Imagine helping to protect your country for 40 years, only to have a felon who is offended over the existence of people with any skin colour besides white take all that away from you. I predict that a white man will be offered to take Brown’s place and will be far less qualified.

    That’s what all of this anti “DEI” (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is about, purging anyone who isn’t a straight, able-bodied white male.

      I see this in every thread. He was a felon when he was running. People voted for a felon. The American people wanted a criminal in the white house. The guy all previous generals who worked with him warned against. 77 million people are responsible for these firings, plus whatever many stayed home and didn’t vote. His campaign promise was to replace everyone with loyalists.

              I agree with the person you respond with. I haven’t voted for a Republican once and I’m very much here saying the people who didn’t vote “because the democrats didn’t give us a reason to” are as culpable… but I also live in a very red state and one of the few saving graces is in order to participate in the primaries one doesn’t have to be registered to a party. Something I’ve avoided, but also something the state is trying to get rid of. I’m seriously considering registering Republican just to keep targets off my back.

              Plus I think we may be passed elections anyways so those not “of the party” are likely to be targeted anyways.

          His supporters are loud, proud idiots. We know who they are by their Facebook posts. They would use the open ballot to go after “the enemies”.

      This isn’t the problem here, it’s military leadership that may disobey him

          One is much worse than the other

          Americans have always been racist, they haven’t always been afraid of the military not following orders due to morality

          And if you’ve seen what they have done that would really scare you from what’s coming

        While I appreciate the cynicism around that truly absurd cliche “protecting their country,” there’s no credible evidence or even accusations linking either of these two individuals to war crimes, real or alleged.
