Just about everything in his life is a prop. He has no idea what he is doing or talking about. Unless it’s diddling little kids or blowing bubba.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Donald Trump is purging the higher ranks based on his prejudices and demands for loyalty
Not exactly...
High ranking cowards are resigning so they keep their pensions.
There are a bunch of hoops trump needs to go thru if he wanted to fire high ranking officers, and he'd never have been able to "fire" as many who gave up without a fight.
If they weren't cowards, they'd stay and fight. Like, there are established procedures for illegal orders, the only choices aren't "follow" or "resign".
All resigning does is leave the spot open for someone who's fine with the illegal orders.
Fascism 101
Given the conduct of the US military since... ever, I doubt too many high ranking office there had anything resembling a moral compass even before Trump. Maybe it's counterproductive, but I love to see the imperial boomerang in action.
I thought it was pretty obvious that he treated the military like a prop when he had that silly parade in DC
I thought it was mission accomplished with what he was trying to do with them.
In his first failed term, didn't he keep talking about "his" generals, too?
The military needs to turn him into a swinging ornament/jk
I'm not joking.
We shouldn't be afraid or ashamed to fight our abusers.
As fascists tend to do.
I have no respect for the US military.
They protect Israel and murder civilians with impunity.
No respect for anyone serving in the armed forces. I will be sure to spit whenever I see one in person.
