Obama and his ilk have made sure that the command structure of all national agencies (including military, judicial, and security) are well infiltrated. Add to this, the takeover of most of the press, communications, universities, and the bending of CEO’s in major companies. Few things still stand in the way: gun control, as well as the support of local police and sheriffs, along with about half (or less) of the elected officials. Neutralizing local law enforcement is what the past couple of week have been about.

Now Biden says he has assurances from military command that they will oppose Trump if he does not abide by the results of the next election. I wonder if the opposite is true?

This “Political General” crap is getting very annoying and is totally out of place. It seems coordinated and synchronized, doubtless to please their real masters in the defense industries and the Democratic Party.

Didn’t Johnson send in US military troops ( combat veterans home from Viet Nam) to quell anti-war riots at the Dam convention in 1968? How is Trump’s actions different?

“We are advancing towards the American Khmer Rouge. The only question remaining is when does this advance to past public denunciations and into killing fields.”

Ordinary Cambodians didn’t have guns.

In this country uniformed personnel have already lost their sacrosanct status that comes from wearing a uniform. Armed citizens won’t submit to uniformed authority merely in hopes of survival. They already have seen how institutions are crumbling before Antifa/BLM, which further delegitimizes the powers that be.

Ultimately, the only things that will stand between a citizen and slavery is his weapon and his willingness to use it.

Is that anarchy? Or is it Thomas Jefferson declaring “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”?

Wow! Big tough general can’t withstand a photocopy? Really?

DC needs to be shut down. It is no longer accountable to the voters. The agencies and the Pentagon have too much money, too much unaccountable power with too many civil servants and too many leftover political appointments.

SHUT THE CANCER DOWN!

The academy’s have all been compromised with PC garbage and feminist/LGBTQ claptrap. Male leadership is demoralized. Question is how far back to go in bringing up old leadership to replace Obama era leaders to begin reinstitution of duty and purpose of our military. We desperately need leadership with spines like Stonewall Jackson in every area of our government, national, state and local as well as in our institutions and businesses. The foundations are there they just need the right leaders to fan the flames of and give voice to history and truth.

Chairman Milley is going to find out he was a Trump mistake. YOU SUPPORT your COMMANDER! (or take a hike)

Alinsky said: hold them to their own standards... This is easiest with 'people of honor'...

Since when is a general walking with a Commander in Chief a crime worthy of forced apology? Everything with a President of the United States could be considered 'political'...

But since the Pentagon has been compromised successfully, to resist the humiliation by refusing an apology would require a trip to 'forced labor and re-education camps.'

Oh wait, we're not at the re-education camps level yet... Oldsarge - after the purge years ago, the left - including the press - stopped trashing the military... that was the sign they had been compromised.

GOPers always abide by the results of elections, and Dems never do. So far they haven’t tried to remain in office but have immediately contested the results of any election they don’t win.

And then they spend the next few years trying to undermine the GOPer who actually did win it.

Boy, I’m amazed at the number of people in high places who can’t simply keep their mouth shut. Who asked him to pipe up, and give the press another petty little victory? Trump has been nothing but supportive of him.

You know, I’m starting to worry about our military... not the enlisted men and women who are overwhelmingly great patriots, but the officer class, particularly the upper echelon. I suspect that the Obama-era DoD seeded the officer ranks with liberals needed to implement all of his LGBT policies. We’re now starting to see signs of insubordination toward Trump, and Mattis’ recent mouthing off may encourage more of that. If push comes to shove with the current neo-Bolshevik revolution, I’m not totally sure which side some of these guys are going to be on. And that is troubling.

Most of our General’s are about as worthless as the one’s Lincoln was confronted with at the start of our other Civil War. Eventually, Trump will find his Patton or Grant or Robert E. Lee.

A very good observation.

We were just discussing the Obama Purge of the officer corps in detail. Veterans observing the event at the time all came to a consensus: the purge was ideologically driven, and targeted a specific rank and year-group.
