1. If a One Star lacks "requisite leadership qualities

He/she would not get a second star. Etc…

“Commitment to Military Excellence?” Anyone in trumps circle knows nothing of Military Excellence. Admirals and Generals have sworn oaths to support the constitution. None of them got deferments out of military service. None shy away from honoring our fallen. A wise president would seek out his military leaders for advice and guidance in all things military. Not purge those who are not sufficiently toady. Pardon my ramble.

2. The goal is to weaken and degrade our military and national security.

And to make the military Trump's personal army.

[Prairie Gates]

3. Always the sign of a vibrant and healthy democracy and a nation on the way up!

A warrior board to purge the military.

Yes, yes. Wonderful.

4. Invitation to a military coup.

5. Against all Enemies Foreign and "Domestic."

Trump is proving himself an enemy of the constitution and republicans in the house and senate know it.

6. At least Hitler waited until shit started going south before he fired all the best generals...

Historically, this is what the Russians did in the 1930's Stalin canned almost every general and colonel in the army. Result was the bungled 1940 Winter War in Finland, which they only won with massive forces after their initial assaults failed miserably. Second result was almost losing WWII in the Barbarossa invasion of 1941. They only survived with the advent of winter and after Pearl Harbor and signing a non-agression pact with Japan, which freed up the reserves from East Asia.

7. Where are Joe Biden executive orders declaring the orange one a domestic enemy? Remember, defend against all enemies

foreign and domestic. The key wording here is, domestic enemy. Use the military before he uses it on the American people.

[Frank D. Lincoln]

8. Translation - By rooting out the military generals who'd oppose Trump, they're

preparing to deploy the U.S. military for:

1. mass deportations.

2. domestic law enforcement.

3. quelling dissent and protests.

Trump aspires to be an absolute dictator with unchecked power.

Each and every Trump voter willingly gave up all of their civil rights and civil liberties to make this possible.

They will face severe consequences along with the rest of us.
