    I don't like the word "purge" regarding military officers. Looking for lackys instead of thinkers with some backbone to back it up.

    Neither do the words purge or "disloyal". The only place these words belong in the conversation is dealing with traitors/failure to abide by the Constitution/Oath of Office. I have no problem letting them go or replacing those in their present positions. Purging? No. He again presents his absurd view on changing leadership at the top by "purging" them. He can't help himself.

    I just do what I'm told. From what I know, you may want to fall in line sooner rather than later. I've heard our Dear Leader's grace period will not be extensive, if there is one at all. Word is the first trial will start on the evening of January 20th. Mike Pence... take it for fwiw...

    If you're being funny in this thread, you're being funny as hell.

    (If not... then you've given cause for concern).

    Your right and wrong. The President is commander and chief. Anyone that doesnt follow that is in violation of the constitution. Last time there were some who didnt, because of political or economic reasons. Right now, the military leadership is broken. Too many soft, indecisive leaders at the O6 and above are crippling the progress of the military. New leadership is required.

    what isn't healthy is what that felonious madman bent on revenge is trying to do to our country with the majority of the country voting him in

    national security in the hands of a known russian and chinese sympathizer, but hey, she's hot, and she knows how to talk to you like you like to be talked to

    homeland security in the hands of a small state governor with no experience in security , but hey , she's hot, and proven to be willing to expand her sexual horizons outside of marriage.

    sec of defense - christian white nationalist psoterboy - kicked out of military of radical views, hawks ak47 ammo on you tube, part time host on FOx news..are you kdding me? but hey, he knows how to talk to you like you like to be talked to and he'll do anything you tell him to do.

    and the cherry - known drug addict and sexual predator Matt Gaetz for attorney general - don't even know what to say if it needs further discussion

    this is your A team. own it. wouldn't be surprised to see usa kicked out of five eyes and wouldn't blame them. think that will help national security?

    ukraine about to get the kurd treatment. don't count on the USA as an ally.


    nothing to see here. do you feel like baghdad bob spouting that company line

    I don't think Trump necessarily wants to purge folks & I doubt this has much to do with wokeness. I think he wants this so that military folks won't criticize him & will have to feign respect for him.

    Purging the military of generals who are loyal to the Constitution and not Trump is the scariest thing they are doing. That's dictatorship 101 stuff right there.

    If we actually had a woke military we would have cultivated our own Hugo Chavez by now. But it is funny to think about US military generals and officers viewing themselves as part of the post-colonial anti-imperialist struggle lol. I suppose for some people its easier to think of the military as deliberately self-sabotaging rather than being a bloated big government project of their own making.
