This is unheard of in American history. Absolutely insane in peace time.

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

Idiotic and dangerous.

If it's absolutely insane, you can bet the Trump regime is right on top of it.

Our military leadership - those at the top - have been serving for 25-35+years. Think of that. All of that experience GONE. We must ask why.

When does the military start to push back? When did they say no?

mariafartaroma.bsky.social•2 days ago

Gotta fire these guys if you want to be able to shoot protesters.

They're using the military budget for deportations. Are they purposely trying to weaken our defense?

Yes

they’re trying to remove people who won’t obey an order to shoot to kill American civilians, or illegally use troops for mass deportations. That’s the deal.

Yep

Previous generals said they swore an oath to the constitution and told Trump to kiss their rear when given illegal orders. Those types will be replaced with loyalists to Trump , not the country.
The coup will be over before 10 GOP congressmen even get the guts to say they are " concerned".

eryq.bsky.social•2 days ago

More likely that they don't want people high in the ranks of the military who aren't ideologically aligned with them

Correct

This is an overtly racist, as well as extremely dangerous and short-sighted, move for our country.
We NEED and WANT every bit of talent and commitment we can get in our armed forces.

WHO else wonders what the end game is with Trump & Musk? Why are they SO focused on weakening our defenses?

slip-sliding.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is happening because Joe Biden was too cowardly to use his power to stop it .. the same power that TRUMP is using to DESTROY the fucking country....
Gutless,fucking Democrats....we have to get rid of these fucks if we ever want a chance of saving America from the Nazi threat....

The Russians didn't have to fight a war to destroy America....all they had to do was help Donald Trump and his MAGAt Nazis get elected....

He’s still going to run into the fact that soldiers oaths are to the constitution.
None of them swore an oath to a Cheeto dusted felon who illegitimately sits in the White House

starlightwishes.bsky.social•2 days ago

They want to hobble the American Military. They fear it because they think they can't control it and that it could take them down.

icunurlildog2.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's crazy. Seems as if we should be worrying how much longer we will be in peace. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump offered troops to go into Ukraine on Russia's behalf.

Good. They are building their own resistance army. Where the rest of you won't, maybe some ex-militaries will carry out the revolution.

Damn it. The super wealthy are trying to take over the world, one government at a time, convincing us that we don’t need to pay taxes for education or healthcare when those things are the reason there’s a middle class. Hell it’s the reason they’re rich. We’re all so stupidly shortsighted.

maritimetexas.bsky.social•2 days ago

He never stopped claiming it.

davidlbeem.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yet Ronny complained that Tim Walz was using "stolen valor". He and Troy Nehls (who falsely wore a CIB ribbon in Congress) were among fifty veteran Republican Congressmembers that signed a letter on it. 28 (not 29, the article is wrong) were listed incorrectly as "Retired" in the initial release...

I just listened to a New Yorker podcast featuring Kyle Chayka about his article, "Elon Musk's AI-Fueled War on Human Agency." There's a snippet from a v angry Steve Bannon about tech bros, whose goals are eternal life w/o regard to anyone else. Shooting Americans who get in the way is part of it

It's mad how we've gotten to this part! Gaming it out, we'll all be serfs sooner than later. Techn-feudalism, and/or techno-fascism, as the use of tech is forced on us at the same time it surveils us.

In the military you swear an oath to defend the constitution from this exact thing. This is every soldier’s moment to be a legend & disobey illegal orders from an illegal president according to the constitution as it was written. Insurrectionists are not supposed to hold office. Ignore his orders.
