Generals, veterans and citizens issue petition accusing Sec of Defense Austin of violating his oath to the US Constitution

The Committee to Support and Defend has initiated a petition to the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to “honor his oath” to “support and defend” the Constitution of the United States. The petition “respectfully insists” that Austin immediately countermand orders he has issued since taking office that have eroded military cohesion and readiness. The petition argues that Critical Race Theory is a toxic Marxist ideology with anti-Constitutional objectives. Ordering its teaching in the military endangers America’s national security, in contravention to Austin’s oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the United States from all enemies.

Are all the joint chiefs a bunch of idiots, like some of these other idiots?

As if Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is the only one ignoring his oath to defend the Constitution. EVERY military officer has ignored their oath since November 3, 2020 since Kamala Harris is ineligible to serve as Vice President because she's not a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution. Her parents were not U.S. citizens when she was born.

The U.S. Military fought against socialism in WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. Now, the very same ideology is being drummed into the U.S. Military.

Unlike Milley, so far none of the other joint chiefs have demonstrated in public statements I've seen that they are oath-violating idiots.

A military coup has to happen soon if it is to work. I believe Biden and the left are taking steps now to make sure it doesn’t happen.

They are certainly trying. IMO in the next month or two expect all manner of false flag events from the Biden bunch. I smell desperation. A dying Grizzly is still dangerous.

Revolver has an article, "They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To: America’s Greatest Old Generals, And Their Sorry Modern Replacements," comparing Milley and other recent disgraceful generals to generals of the past.

Anyone else wonder if all this recent UFO stuff is preparing us for an “Alien Invasion” so the left can press the boot on our necks even harder in the guise of protecting us?

Oh, please. You don’t seem to know how the military works.
