Except that all the Joint Chiefs will also be Trump loyalists, so they will be motivated to support Hegseth's agenda and compensate (or cover up) his incompetency and other ... proclivities
The Republican militia is far more equipped, and relish the idea of using their weapons’ investment in weapons of war - than Democrats do. So w/DJT as commander, and the furious pushback against authoritarian rule expected, the odds are America in 2025 could explode.
I know Trump-voting officers who are horrified by the pick for operational and force readiness issues even over the ethical. There’s a true concern for force safety.
