His problem is joint chiefs. He got ride of Mattie and Kelly. Now Milley needs to go along with Esper at Defense.

The problem with all of these folks is that a couple of years in DC in these kinds of positions will net them a small fortune working for the so-called private side of the MIC after they leave office -provided they have been sufficiently helpful when serving in DC.

Agreed, but that’s not the point. What percentage of the military was responsible for nearly impeaching Trump? When local LE is supporting the effort, how many troops does it take to overrun the White House? Hell, it appears the rioters could nearly do it. If you’ve never seen the movie its great. Entertaining but scary right now. https://youtu.be/eZ0rdbG2etQ

They have complete control of communication now. What’s the first thing taken in a coup? Communication and propaganda assets. How many determined troops to overrun the White House and to take Trump as local LE provide support to the effort? Its a great movie, but rather terrifying today.

Nothing more than a deep state psyop. The military is more inclined to go after the deep state. They are actively fighting them covertly and have been for a number of years.

I am sorry, please accept my apologies. Have you seen the movie?

As a retired Senior Enlisted I still keep my Oath in the sequence it was written, FIRST to Protect and Defend the Constitution from ALL Enemies foreign and domestic, THEN to obey the orders of the Officers appointed over me. Quite simply, I, like probably all of my Enlisted Brothers, would ignore an order from any Officer to break my Oath to the Constitution. If you think obeying an Unlawful Order will protect you, research Lt William Calley Jr and the My Lei Massacre.

The premise of '7 Days' was that the President was thought by a general that he'd become weak, and that the president was going soft against enemies of the US.

In the scenario we currently find ourselves in, we have the possibility of generals, influenced by enemies of the US within our own borders, and promised more power should their plans come to fruition, willing to possibly work to eliminate a sitting President who believes in a strong and vibrant United States.

Just got back from a 3 year deployment, the younger officers have been corrupted. Certain enlisted are canceling the careers of others. It’s going on right now.

You are absolutely correct. This is not only Rod Serling fantasy but is generally how coup attempts have been carried out in the past. What percentage of total German troops were actually involved in the most successful attempt to take Hitler out? Minuscule. Operation Valkyrie failed because Hitler wasn’t killed or captured.

Do you think Brady hate is universal?

Tom Brady, friend of Trump, is not the devil you think he is, and the Tuck Rule was an NFL rule. Obscure, perhaps, but viable.

I always ask sports fan who bring up the Tuck Rule what team they support. The answer is why it is an issue, nothing more.

I’m not talking about what motivates the conspirators, whether its fear of the Soviets or fear of MAGA succeeding. The capabilities to pull it off were there in the movie, that same capability is greatly enhanced in today’s reality. Throughout history military coups are instigated by very tiny percentages of the military.

Oh it’s fine. We all get things by the wrong end of the stick, and I could have worded it more carefully. As the author, it is my responsibility to write clearly enough that I am not misperceived except when I am trolling, which I wasn’t here.

"When local LE is supporting the effort, how many troops does it take to overrun the White House? Hell, it appears the rioters could nearly do it."

For one thing, it's obvious you've only looked at the White House from ground level.

What's behind that white façade wall is not your usual rent-a-cop. The armament & firepower up there is formidable.

Add in a couple of orbiting AC-130Ws, a few A-10s -- and several Apaches & Reapers -- and the surrounding ground area gets plenty "hot" --- even for Bradleys & M1As...

You and I both have no idea what contingency plans for the defense of the White House are in place. How many Vindman types know what those plans are? The conspirators might just take your advice and take him in Kenosha or Manchester, New Hampshire or wherever they KNOW he is most vulnerable?

Amen. I also believe that most of the active military still takes their oath seriously.
