NEW: VoteVets Responds To News of Likely Trump Purge of Generals
"Unless somehow stopped or talked out of this plan, it will be remembered as the first step in remaking the military from an apolitical force loyal to the Constitution into a MAGA Military, pledging fealty to Donald Trump."

a Military Coup.
What can be done to STOP IT BFORE trumPutin take Over the USA?? 
DEFCON 5
DEFCON 5 is “peacetime normal,” the default state of readiness for the United States military.
DEFCON 5 represents “a normal readiness posture which can be sustained indefinitely and which represents an optimum balance between the requirements of readiness and the routine training and equipping of forces for their primary mission,” according to a Joint Chiefs of Staff description of this level when the DEFCON system was first introduced.
The DEFCON 5 exercise term is “Fade Out.”
DEFCON 4
DEFCON 4 describes the everyday operating procedures for fighting units.
At DEFCON 4, the U.S. military complex ramps up intelligence gathering and shores up security.
DEFCON 4 represents “a readiness posture requiring increased intelligence watch and a continuing analysis of the political/military situation in the area of tension,” according to the original Joint Chiefs of Staff memo.
The DEFCON 4 exercise term is “Double Take.”
Most forces are usually at DEFCON 4 or 5.
DEFCON 3
Two steps from war, DEFCON 3 is generally seen as a standby level of alert, and it is the highest level of alert during peacetime.
DEFCON 3 represents “a readiness posture that requires certain portions of the assigned forces to assume an increased readiness posture above that of normal readiness,” according to the Joint Chiefs memo.
The DEFCON 3 exercise term is “Round House.”
At less-tense points during the Cuban Missile Crisis, various parts of the U.S. military were at DEFCON 3.
Over a decade later, in 1973, President Richard Nixon put the U.S. military on DEFCON 3 during the Yom Kippur War, as Moscow was reportedly preparing to launch an attack in the Middle East.
“DEFCON 3 did not put the military on a war footing,” according to an Associated Press article. “It primarily meant leaves were canceled, men were ordered to return to their units and preparations were made to move them out if necessary.”
DEFCON 2
DEFCON 2, one step from nuclear war, is implemented when an enemy attack is expected. Troops are poised for combat at this time.
DEFCON 2 represents “a readiness posture requiring a further increase in military force readiness which is less than maximum readiness; certain military deployments and selected civil actions may be necessary in consonance with the command’s mission,” according to the Joint Chiefs memo.
During this stage, the U.S. will have “subs at sea and the bombers waiting on the runways,” as described by Roger Molander, a nuclear protest leader, in a 1984 column.
Parts of the U.S. military were at DEFCON 2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the closest the world ever came to nuclear war.
The DEFCON 2 exercise term is “Fast Pace.”
DEFCON 1
The most urgent alert, DEFCON 1, represents the highest level of readiness for nuclear war.
DEFCON 1 would be reserved for when an attack is perceived as imminent or already under way – when the nation’s forces are engaged in full-on war mode.
DEFCON 1 represents “a maximum readiness posture requiring the highest state of preparedness to execute war plans,” the Joint Chiefs memo says.
The United States has never been at DEFCON 1 – at least not to the public’s knowledge – since the system began.
The DEFCON 1 exercise term is “Cocked Pistol.”
Is the DEFCON Level Public?
For security reasons, the U.S. military never publicly releases the current DEFCON level. In February 2022, a senior official with the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that the federal government will not publicly reveal the current DEFCON level of the U.S. military.
As of January 2023, the current DEFCON level is estimated to be at 3 due to the Russian conflict, according to OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) on the website DefconLevel.com.
So what do you think now ................I was on a military base when the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on and it reaching DEFCON 2...........and just think this asshole isn't even in the oval office yet and he wants to purge the three and four stars...........and to all of you fuckers that voted for this guy, who is the enemy from within now ...........
