    Gotta love how Dems are now the party of war, so much so that they’re doing rehab for generals when they retire.

    Commies are not the enemy of MAGA, they are MAGA adjacent. The Constitution is the enemy of MAGA.

    Watching Republicans turn on the military is not something I expected in my life. Tuberville still blocking appointments. MTG wants to pay the Sec of Defense $1. Blocking veteran health benefits. Amazing stuff.

    Speaking of communists and there are in fact very few actual communists, let's not forget that on more than one occasion a certain former defeated indicted president has metaphorically kissed the ass and referred to the leader of Russia, a former KGB colonel who called the breakup of the Soviet Union as the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century as a genius.

    Gotta love how the MAGA sheep have done a 180 and now disparage those in the military who have HONORABLY served our country.

    How DARE someone pledge an oath to protect our Constitutional above all, when Trump should be front and center?!?!?! How DARE someone serve Country over cult?!?!?!

    I’ll tell you what. Reading the responses to Milly’s comments tells a great deal about someone’s loyalty to our Country over person.

    When I see people using the “commies” label as an insult, it makes question whether they know what communism is. I don’t remember hearing anyone here advocating for communism.

    Spoke to a bunch of my military friends, several who are staunch Republicans. To a man, they LOVED and saluted that speech.

    Criticism of a totally incompetent JCS is not turning on the military.
