What is the solution?
A heavy handed purge of the top ranks of the military.

I am not disagreeing with you. But the echo from history resonates in my ears.

When you hear “heavy handed purge of the top ranks of military”, where do you go in history?

Our country was designed to be inefficient, so that ideas grew slowly with much debate. So many checks and balances it was difficult to get things done. It took almost 40 years for the first immigration act (1870’s I think) to be finally implemented.

Having written the above, I think I have more respect for Trump to work thru the system for change. Obama took shortcuts and luckily I think he pulled their trigger too soon.

Stalin. He probably couldn't have won World War II with the generals he purged in 1938.

Although one should also look at George Marshall's purge of officers in 1939. Again, the results would likely have been much worse without the purge.
