They’re not dimwitted, but they are definitely evil.🙄

“Generals warn divided military may fuel a new CIVIL WAR if there is another coup attempt”

The only coup attempt to over throw our Republic has come from the Democratic Party.

I think these three officers are Democrats. Below is a fact statement about officers at the beginning of the Civil War. My guess is that IF a Civil War broke out in the near future the results would be about the same as what you read below.

************************************************************

ABOUT BIBLIOGRAPHY OFFICER CHARACTERISTICS GENERAL FACTS
APRIL 14, 2015 / LEADR / GENERAL FACTS
UNION ARMY FACTS
When Civil War began, approximately 16,367 men were in the U.S army, soldiers and officers
The U.S. army contained 10 regiments of infantry, five cavalry regiments and four artillery regiments
197 companies
Of the 1108 officers, only five were generals (one major general and four brigadier generals)
270 of the officer corps were from the South and 202 of them resigned and joined the Confederacy with 50 northern officers joining them. Some other officers resigned but the balance stayed loyal to the Union
By the end of the war, over 1,000 men served as generals for the Union or Confederacy leading everything from brigades to full armies.
At least 2 ½ million men served in the Union army at some point during the Civil War
824 U.S. Military Academy graduates were on the active list at the start of the war. 296 resigned or were dismissed and 184 of them became Confederate officers
400 out of 900 West Point civilian graduates joined the Union army while 99 did so for the Confederate side
Union to Confederate professional officer ratio was 642 to 283

“Has this ever happened before in our history?”

Between 1795 and 1812, Britain kidnapped 20,000 US sailors to man British warships in the war against Napoleon. It was done under the doctrine of impressment, approved by the British high court. Impressment has been cited as one of the reasons for the War of 1812.

So the answer to your question of whether this has happened before is, yes. The US didn’t react to impressment for 17 years.

“Instead, the Deep State will use the FBI to fulfill their agenda.”

How? The FBI manpower consists of 30,000 personnel total, of whom 2,500 are field agents. The remainder are paper pushers.

That is what the vaccine mandate is for...to get all people of conscience to resign or be dismissed. Mandate-driven self-purging policy, it makes it easier for communists to assume power if they are the only ones remaining.

So, you have an interesting family history, you anti-British rebel.

Carry on the tradition of freedom, mairdie.

Notice the left always assumes that anyone opposing them are the bad guys. So if there are patriots in the military, they have to be flushed out.

That’s proud anti-British rebel, to you.

I had masses of ancestors in that war. All pro American. One was watching the Battle of Yorktown from a hill where he was driving a wagon. Another was leading one of the forlorn charges at Yorktown for Hamilton. One invaded Canada and one took his toys and went home when the soldiers under his command refused to practice marching. One froze with Washington at Valley Forge. Military all the way down to father, who was regular army.

Make no mistake about it. This is a threat from General Milley who wants to use the armed forces to preserve the democrat junta.

It has his stink all over it.

“Once an officer moves beyond O5 the promotions depend more and more on politics,”

A record is prepared and kept at the pentagon on every O6. The record is used for future promotions.

Internal polling must be pretty bad for the dems

Let us sincerely hope so. The other hope is that we can get some group together to force the transparency of voting and vote counting that lets the dems ignore the polls by cheating. Who knew we’d eventually live in a 3rd world country where the votes of the majority can be totally ignored.

Is civil war possible when the people are the fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable populace in all of history? I’m skeptical.
