Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Another completely shit headline from @nytimes.com. Makes it seem like Brown was canned because of some Pentagon turmoil under his watch, not that Trump created turmoil by sacking leaders
Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, USAF-a 3-Star General-will get a 4th Star (making him the JUNIOR 4-Star in the military)--then will be made the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--the MOST SENIOR MILITARY OFFICER?!
Just, "BEGIN NOW", as the USMC DI says, to count who's Not gonna like that!
An orange-skinned, revenge-driven tyrant assembling an all-white, all-male, colonization / personal vendetta force with a trillion dollar budget? A guy who’s *begging* for widespread protests in the US so he can have these newly-installed hacks (led by Top Hack Hegseth) carry out martial law?
Yes. Even the NYT seems to notice that. But it’s the displacement of qualified, decorated, competent, senior officers, with loyalist stooges that worries me most.
"When John Kelly explained to Donald Trump, among other things, that Hitler's generals repeatedly tried to assassinate him, Donald Trump showed himself to be impervious to that knowledge and said, no, no, no, no, that's not true."

If he thinks he's got enough retired flag officers on his side to succeed, I expect he'll learn he doesn't know the military.
He has explicitly said this is his plan and this is how he's going to do it. To the damn press.
I feel like I'm talking crazy pills.
Yep.
Again.
