Trump has a draft Executive Order that would Create board to purge Generals

How a Trump presidency could lead to a purge at the Pentagon

* During campaign, Trump vowed to purge military of 'woke' generals
* Former generals and defense secretaries are among Trump's fiercest critics
* Trump will prioritize loyalty during his second term, U.S. officials say

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - During his campaign for re-election, Donald Trump vowed to purge the military of so-called "woke" generals. Now that he is president-elect, the question in the halls of the Pentagon is whether he would go much further.
Trump is expected to have a far darker view of his military leaders in his second term, after facing Pentagon resistance over everything from his skepticism toward NATO to his readiness to deploy troops to quell protests on U.S. streets.

Trump's former U.S. generals and defense secretaries are among his fiercest critics, some branding him a fascist and declaring him unfit for office. Angered, Trump has suggested that his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, could be executed for treason.
Current and former U.S. officials say Trump will prioritize loyalty in his second term and root out military officers and career civil servants he perceives to be disloyal.

"He will destroy the Department of Defense, frankly. He will go in and he will dismiss generals who stand up for the Constitution," said Jack Reed, the Democrat who leads the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Culture war issues could be one trigger for firings. Trump was asked by Fox News in June whether he would fire generals described as "woke," a term for those focused on racial and social justice but which is used by conservatives to disparage progressive policies.

Just disgusting. I guess this is TSF's way to get rid of "suckers" and "losers". I predict that he goes after black/brown, women, Muslim, etc. Generals.

3. Russia and China's dream come true: The destruction of the US military.

And they did not even fire a shot.
The US destroyed their own military.
