In an extraordinary rebuke of President Donald Trump, all 10 living former secretaries of defense are cautioning against any move to involve the military in pursuing claims of election fraud, arguing that it would take the country into “dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.”

The 10 men, both Democrats and Republicans, signed on to an opinion article published Sunday in The Washington Post that implicitly questioned Trump’s willingness to follow his Constitutional duty to peacefully relinquish power on Jan. 20.

These 10 guys need a refresher on the military command flow chart. Pentagon reports to the POTUS. They don’t warn or threaten the POTUS. They do what the POTUS tells them to do. They serve at the leisure of the POTUS. If the POTUS decides to invoke the Insurrection Act they say “yes sir Mr. President”.

Military seems upset because they won’t be making any money from another war.

Wasn’t it President Eisenhower that described the military complex.

“What they are saying is you can accept this fraud and go quietly, or we may be forced to walk in and shoot you.”

Yes. Proving they are a deep state junta.
