"If Donald Trump wins the next election, he will attempt to turn the men and women of the United States armed forces into praetorians loyal not to the Constitution, but only to him. This project will likely be among his administration’s highest priorities. It will not be easy: The overwhelming majority of America’s service people are professionals and patriots. I know this from teaching senior officers for 25 years at the Naval War College. As president, Trump came to understand it too, when he found that “his generals” were not, in fact, mere employees of a Trump property.
In 2020, the armed forces were a bulwark against Donald Trump’s antidemocratic designs. Changing that would be a high priority in a second term.
But the former president and the people around him have learned from that experience. The last time around, Trump’s efforts to pack the Defense Department with cranks and flunkies came too late to bring the military under his full political control. The president and his advisers were slow-footed and disorganized, and lacked familiarity with Washington politics. They were hindered as well by the courage and professionalism of the military officers and civilian appointees who, side by side, serve in the Defense Department.
Trump now nurses deep grudges against these officers and civilians, who slow-rolled and smothered his various illegal and autocratic impulses, including his enraged demand to kill the Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in 2017, and his desire to deploy America’s military against its own citizens during the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020".

The complete movie is free on youtube. John f kennedy allowed them to fill in from other white house. The movie came out after he died. JFK read the book. If anything comma our stupid president is trying to indoctrinate soldiers now. Why do we need d e I training when the military has been desegregated since 1948?
Why is critical race theory being put into service academies? Why should white people have white guilt? And why should they be considered oppressor's? That's because of a Foxtrot up President like this one (Biden) brainwashing our young officers.

The only theory is we see that he is the dictator putting down executive orders and disobeying the Supreme Court and Is breaking federal law stopping oil leases that were already approved by congress and signed by president Trump. it's ironic that's the left of Vladimir Lenin and left of Yasser Arafat. President Nrokeback Biden is projecting the fear. Yet he one screwing things up for the American people and disobeying laws on the books, on purpose, and nobody seems to see it. Except for the media that isn't sucking his penis.
Look how the White House has to have a commission on islamophobia. When it's radical, Islam factions that want, Israel destroyed and all Jews dead. Democratic party is schizophrenic and has home grown nazi palestinian Sympathizers, in Congress. the schism continues becathe Democratic Party that President Biden was first elected to has now gone. Extreme left. so far left that many moderate democrats have gone independent or are refusing to. Seek a new term because they can see that The Democratic Party of today is floundering on leftist activist ideas instead of ideas that it believed in until 15 years ago.Wake me up at 5:30 AM. It focuses on abortion, transgender weirdos. Trying to make other kids pedophiles or confused. And they want men who pretend to be women so they can cheat and win in women's speriod. Those are the new constituents of the Democratic Party today. females usually make the swing vote and they're getting really upset at how females are being marginalized. In sports. Modern democrats are upset seeing that illegal aliens are more american than real Americans. people have common sense and this open Borders. Citizens of the world mentality is not going to fly very much longer. Moderate democrats didn't leave the Democratic Party, Democratic Party devolved and left them.

More diversion. Whatever President Biden does is not justification to support the con-man Trump.

CPL LaForest Gray Oh no. NBC investigates dark money on the right. Zero investigation of dark money on the left. How inclusive.
Your use of a Canadian leftist that almost no one on this site knows as an authoritative figure is laughable.
I would say Biden has shown his fascist ass repeatedly. From covid declarations, his ignoring federal law and the Supreme Court rulings, and his blatant use of law enforcement as a hammer on citizens. None of these things were done by Trump.

How does the Petty officer still have teeth after all his gnashing and wailing? Has one appointed official, or General officer, spoke out against or went against the current prezzie? Nope. Austin, Milley and all the service Chiefs haven't said a word against him. So can the same be said of Trump's appointed Defense picks or Milley? Nope.
Seems like there is a custom personality in the Pentagon and all loyal to the 'big guy'.

Realize there is a difference in the Officer and Enlisted Oath, but mine was to the Constitution and Country and will never be to any individual or position.

When Donald was running for president in 2016, myself and a group of psychologists outlined his dangerousness to the Constitution and Rule of Law. As an example review The Dangerous Case of Donald J Trump.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the Trumpers will never see anything that is not praise of their Messiah.

"... and that he places the country at grave risk of involving it in a war, and of undermining democracy itself due to his dangerous pathology." Well, there you have it. This argument at the opening of his Administration proved to be pure fantasy. Instead of starting wars, he ended them. Oh, I love the part about his mental illness being contagious. Okay, they didn't actually say it that way. "Authors argue that the President's mental health was affecting the mental health of the people of the United States." I could go on, but what's the point? These "doctors" broke two rules of good medical practice. First, they diagnosed a person without actually examining him and, secondly, they did much harm. People like MSG Stan Hutchinson is an example of how fearful people can be stampeded by such drivel. Look at his comment. He's all atwitter and damning "Trumpers."
