It was nothing short of an attack on our military from within. https://youtu.be/xdMVKNFpuj8

If only those guys knew some guys with some real power. Like young men and women who are trained to follow orders and fire weapons. Then they could have told the drunk to GTFO.

At some point the US military has to do the right thing, right? Right!?!?

Reckless? Not convinced about that -less

Where are all the former leaders, chiefs, secretaries, presidents, etc? Please tell me they are meeting somewhere.

He was weaponizing in 2016 which is why mitch should have done his duty. The courts treated him with kid gloves being overly fair instead of due process that all citizens receive. ABSOLUTELY Disgusting where we are at this point. Every secret service should request different duty.

Good luck with that.

Former defense secretaries...of course...nobody in any position of power to actually DO anything...

suziemac.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes! This is what we need! Leaders keep speaking up. We mere mortals are trying as head as we can!

It would be nice if we heard from former presidents and vice presidents. They have been disturbingly quiet.

Anyone who doesn’t believe that he is just itching to use the military on civilians isn’t paying attention. He can’t wait. The question is, will the military disregard that very illegal order?

No shit Sherlock. Are they pretending they were clueless to this?

Those firings are far from reckless. They are designed to create of an army of nothing but loyalists. People need to wake up.

It’s not just Trump, it’s everyone in the Republican Party that has forgotten what is important.
They are all culpable and to blame.
What the HeLL do they think is going to happen when we, as a nation are so internally compromised? The entire world is watching.

What he’s doing is a calculated action meant to cement his desire for a dictatorship!! Recklessness doesn’t factor in his decision making!

Pretty sure that was made clear when they made an unqualified alcoholic the Secretary of Defense.

'Krasnov' is finishing the mission he was assigned by his President of Soviet Republic of Russia. Dismantling of USA & its mighty forces is taking place right before our eyes. Putin's agent randomly picks Gen who will be least likely to stand up as US Services are watered down. Voters are to blame.
