You posted it so you read it and obviously took it to heart. Let's look at his solution:
"Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making."
OK, so you have Admiral Mullen as de facto head of government, ably assisted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now what? What happens from here on in? When and how to you replace your 'interim administration'? Do you hold a new election? What do you do with Obama? Do you jail him? Prevent him from running again in your replacement government? Otherwise, what it he ran again and won again in your new election? Or is your 'interim administration' permanent and will every future president share power wiht the Joint Chiefs? If so, then who will appoint the Joing Chiefs? The very man they're sharing power with? What's to stop him from stacking the deck in his favor and appointing military heads that will keep him in power?
So John Perry wants the military to take over? Obviously he hasn't thought it through. Neither have you
As another poster correctly pointed out, anything like this would HAVE to originate at the very top. And as another poster rightly remarked, these guys are as political as anyone on Capitol Hill or they wouldn’t have made it to the top.
Having said that, they ALSO have NON-MILITARY families and extended families who would suffer in a renegade, Constitutionless, totalitarian regime which history teaches only gets worse and more oppressive with time.
I sincerely believe that these traditionally honorable and honor bound men would do what they felt was necessary to keep that from happening lest their failure to act make a total mockery of their careers and lives.
The few I’ve ever met — among them the late General George Olmsted (my wife worked for him in D.C. back in the 60s) and the late General Lew Walt, USMC — would rather eat their service pistols than stand aside while the nation and the Constitution to which they swore that oath was systematically dismantled (as it is as you read this).
Just my opinion.
BTW, I ASSUME YOU ALSO read it.
Does that mean you also “took it to heart?”
I suggest you immediately withdraw from FR and NEVER READ ANYTHING ELSE AGAIN.
