So what everyone is saying is that whomever is in command and all military personnel in the chain of command are going to follow any orders no matter how illegal? Seriously? The military has already told Trump to pound sand.
The republicans are currently holding up all the military leadership promotions/appointments which may be totally unrelated to stuff like this, but it also may not.
ONE Republican is holding appointments hostage and the rest are getting pissed off and antsy about it. They’re bringing votes to the floor in batches now, even though each one requires an individual vote, rather than a mass approval.
I guess that means Trump would need to hand pick loyal generals to improve his odds.
Milley told him to pound sand. Given that christofascists have been working hard to indoctrinate the enlisted and many of those enlisting are already christofascists or come from areas of extreme poverty and conservatism, don’t think that these people aren’t making plans to remove those who won’t play ball to clear the way for more agreeable officers. If you see a sudden boost of former enlisted guys suddenly returning in early summer 2024, brace yourself.
Orders will be couched, as much as possible, in legal orders to “keep the peace”. IANAL, no idea what that looks like. But you’re right, the brass is not going for any of this shit.
It would take 15 years to effect real change in the military hierarchy in America and that’s intentional.
