A recent AP article regarding Trump’s firing of CJCOS contains a Hegseth statement about military leadership. They will be reviewed, and expected to follow lawful orders. The meaning of lawful will be redefined to “any order coming from the CIC shall be considered legal”.

You, me, and every other person believing in the US Constitution and Military Codes agree with what you just stated.
However, Trump stacked his cabinet, DOJ, DoD, etc…with loyalists. They in turn will put other loyalists in leadership roles. They will be loyal to Trump, not to their Oaths.
We are at the beginning of a tipping point with regard to the military, IMO. Those who will adhere to their oaths will be compelled to unify and overtly, or covertly subvert what Trump and Hegseth are openly attempting. Again, speculation but he’s not tried to hide his desire to be a strongman.
Good chat. Stay safe. Be vigilant.
