    So when Trump issues an unconstitutional order to the military, what then? He'll just start firing until he finds a yes man. Who's going to stop him in that event? congress? LOL the courts? more LOL.

    Vance, clueless as ever and ever the useful idiot, fails to mention that these Generals were fired for cause and yet there is no such claim from the current regime. Sad excuse for a WH.

    I love the nastiness and name calling of the left on THFSG. It reminds me of how freaked out they are over losing the election.

    Do you think the left, including their elected leaders, will publicly lie about the election for four years and counting ...... like the liars you support did?

    He looks like he's laying on a bed in Barbie's Dream House, or a teenager's Laura Ashley bedroom. That's even creepier than his haystack hair cut. He's never had much luck with his hair, has he?

    Under-qualified, meritless hire, (probably lesbian) who's wearing the wrong hat.

    This was the rationale Hegseth put forth for Admiral Franchetti's ouster:

    “Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting and winning wars,” Hegseth said.

    Here is what she was working on at the time of her dismissal. Does any of it sound "woke," or "DEI" in any way?

    As CNO, Franchetti was a driving force behind key modernization initiatives, including Project 33, which was part of her CNO Navigation Plan that was released in September. That effort called for accelerating the acquisition and fielding of unmanned systems, AI and “information dominance” capabilities, to deter or defeat a Chinese attack on Taiwan or other U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific.

    Franchetti also created a new “robotics warfare specialist” general rating.

    “RW Sailors will enable Robotic and Autonomous System (RAS) operations and maintenance at the tactical edge. RWs will be the subject matter experts for computer vision, mission autonomy, navigation autonomy, data systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning on our RAS platforms,” she wrote last year in a NAVADMIN announcement.

    I haven’t caught up on this thread. Can someone point out which two Joint Chiefs Trump fired?

    And they were fired for cause, not reverse DEI firings.
