    Need General’s and commanders to step up. Defend the constitution, not the orange mango loser

      I have been wondering what the fuck the military leaders have been doing this whole time. I thought they had honour and shit, and cared about the idea of America. They literally signed up to fight for it.

      Anyway, not American but hoping those folk have a come-to-Jesus moment soon…

        Generations of “service guarantees socialistic benefits equivalent to every other first world country” led to people overwhelmingly joining for personal gain, instead of “service” or “sacrifice”.

            Especially when your only alternative is poverty or medical/education debt.

            Also the Trump admin have been hard at work implementing Project2025 from day 1, which involved purging all of the patriot military brass they possibly can. The average US general likely never even contemplated the thought of staging a domestic coup their entire careers, then they got canned; the ones that remain are probably wondering how they could possibly pull off a coup when the forces they oversee contain a significant number of brainwashed individuals.

            The American MIC may simply be too large, distributed, and bureaucratic for any type of coup to occur.

        I’d imagine if they’re going to act then they’re waiting for some line to be crossed.

        Not sure where that line would be but.
