Every civ-mil scholar is pulling their hair out right about now.

This is so dangerous, so destructive.

Just beyond the pale, absolutely dangerous and corrosive. President basically rallying active duty US military for war against fellow Americans in an openly partisan way via @atrupar.com

He's endangering US residents (in LA) while simultaneously breaching the sacred responsibility he has to keep military personnel out of harm's way unless it cannot be avoided. Not Presidential material.

Where is the pushback on this from those scholars and every retired military?

smsaideman.bsky.social•13 days ago

Those scholars are pushing back. Mattis spoke out. I am guessing we will see Dempsey and some other former Chairman eventually speak out.

I hope so. All of them. Trump is abusing our military for his personal ends. He does not care about soldiers or veterans. Look at the deployed national guard sleeping on floors without supplies.

As a Veteran; we will never forget those who tarnish us. Never.

And the media will consider it just a big joke

You mean they lied? They told us they were just protecting federal buildings.

Personalizing the military is not good. But neither is personalizing the media, universities, Congress, courts, bureaucracy. But that is exactly what Trump is trying to do. Turn the US back into an 18th century monarchy.

Yep. This one's a real ring wobbler.

It was divisive to cohesion. In the videos, you can gauge that some of them were really into what he was saying; some of them were tepid; some were there. And that’s among folks who were directed to sit there to show unity. They did —but they didn’t.

Yeah we’re fucked. These men would love to shoot Americans.

protests have never lead to armed conflict in autocracies, have they?
