Hegseth, more than any other of his predecessors, has weighed in on the makeup of the military’s top leaders.
He would be the expert in that regard.
You don’t purge the military of anyone who disagrees unless you plan to do some shit that the military would try to stop.
This move can only be read as our illegal fascist regime consolidating it’s grip on power.
And anyone who wants to see where this goes, so read some news about the RSF in Sudan.
A well-equipped military filled with loyal men who are okay with committing atrocities in the name of their generals.
Sure, keep firing lots of experienced, talented military professionals because their opinions offend you. And replace them with less competantent sycophants. I’m sure that won’t have a negative impact on the daily operations of the US armed forces! /s
They don’t need experience or talent to shoot you in face in the middle of the street, or put toddlers in concentration camps.
Well if we think about the truth of it they expect if someone ever got back into office that wasn’t a sycophant, they will try to unify the population and not outright fire everyone that was unjustly put in these positions. If they did they will cry and scream at the top of their lungs saying it was a partisan agenda intentionally trying to split the nation and cause havoc. And every major media source in the U.S. will side with it because it will make sure the rich keeping getting richer.
The odds that the U.S. can be saved are extraordinary slim. Especially without huge changes.
If you don’t arrest and punish those who betrayed the nation for their own gains, they win. If you do arrest them and punish them, their families will inherit the money and use the actions to drive as many wedges as they can for personal gain. (See turning point or whatever since Kirk got killed).
There won’t be enough senators/members of the house that will upset donors to allow a complete overhaul of the tax system in a 4 year term. The U.S. may already be dead.
Why are you trying to spin a fascist purge of the military as somehow a good thing?
So will we be left with all the ultra built, hairless men? What’s that porn movie called again?
Fire every last one, pete
I expect the plan is to leave in place those who favor Trump over the Constitution
That will leave about 25-33% of the military.
That’s plenty if all you want to do is bomb civilians
It’s not plenty if you want to continue your track record of not having enemies attack you on your own soil.
