Even if a strident pro-American regains executive authority, it will be a long slog mustering out the hundreds of flag officers in each branch who have adopted leftist ideology as their primary motivator, as opposed to defending the nation. The service academies have obviously likewise become infected.
Quite right. This preliminary injunction is not a "win" as the article indicates, even if the case is actually successful; at best it can be no more than a "break-even". A win should be marked by a transfer of value to the winner that leaves the winner in a better circumstance than before the contest.
Our political realities are exacerbated by the fact that when we win it is too often simply a blocking event, and the taxpayers have paid for the costs of attempting the offense. In such matters we don't even break even.
