Trump to Purge Generals

[Revoltingest]

An interview that could've happened.....
Revoltingest: "Whaddaya think of DJ Trump?"

JD Vance: "He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein ... Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it."
"I'm a Never Trump guy."
"unfit for our nation’s highest office."
"My god what an idiot."
"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a------ like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler."

Revoltingest: "Why do you now believe he's the country's savior sent by God.

JD Vance: "Infowars, OAN, & the Bible straightened me out. I saw the light, realizing that I was duped by NPR, NYT, Huff Po, Drudge, & other radical left wing commie fake news."

Revoltingest: "This change had nothing to do with sucking up to him to become his VP?"

JD Vance: "Shhhhhhhhh!"

Let me put it this way and I can only speak about the Navy. It isn't the same same Navy I served in from 1961 to 1981 and it started changing only a couple of years after 1981 and it wasn't for the best IMO.

Why should it be the same navy as it was in 1961? Or 1981? Why is our past bigotry superior to our present attempts at lessening it? (I assume your complaint is about blacks, gays, and women being treated as equals in the modern military.)

If I had a dollar for every politician who changed his or her terms, I could go to Cancun.

that are 'woke.'

I can see what is coming. Trump has vowed to purge the military of all 'woke' generals. This is a cover story for him to remove any general he suspects will not obey his orders to attack American citizens when he invokes the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants.

Stalin would be proud.

Creating a "Warrior board" or a review-board to monitor the generals is not a bad idea. There are some 'woke' inspired ones out there who are actively promoting 'wokism' They feel pressured to implement or at least facilitate certain things into the military in a quicker pace than nature would have done. Some of them are actively complying to the pressure. Hence you see all the changes.

Let the nature take its course. Don't force stuff on people (the rest of the soldiers) who are not on the same page as you. The majority are not ready for the change.

To facilitate some (a tiny fraction) for their right to serve their nation - you cannot irritate the majority who are already serving and who don't want the changes at such a quick pace.

At the end of the day - we want a military consisting of soldiers who are fighting together and not against each other.

We need a military - not distracted - not irritated.

Trump - with some minor changes here and there - might succeed in doing just that. Trump is trying to make it comfortable for the majority who serve us in the military. Let the nature take its course.

Trump is not looking for Generals who would be loyal to him. When he is the commander in chief of the military - all active Generals must listen to him regardless.

So, once again - Trump is not looking for Generals who would be loyal to him for wrong reasons.
Bury any other thoughts that you may be having.

Making high profile enemies in the military is such a dumb idea, putting them on the unemployment list potentially just opens them up to selling military secrets to foreign actors in my view.

With that many to choose from, a promise of money
& power in exchange for loyalty could corrupt a few.

These kinds of comments are pure nonsense.
It is one thing to be a 'woke' awoken and 'woke' promoting General and completely a different thing to be a traitor.
No General (in their right mind) would ever be tempted to sell out their country. If any General is asked to resign - I am sure it will happen in a correct way and they will get their full retirement benefit package. None of them will sell any secrets (at least in their right mind).

I force nothing on soldiers.
My perspective....
I like a strong defense. I was a weapon system designer.
The military's function is to kill people & destroy things.
It should serve that purpose legally in the best way practical
in order to avoid or prevail in conflicts.

The majority are not ready for the change.

No one is ever ready for change.
That's a poor argument against change in general.
It should be based upon specifics, & analysis of consequences.

The rest of your post lacks specifics.
It's vague & unsupported, so there's nothing for me to address.

Didn't he try to get the military to intervene with "Black Life Matter" demonstrations, but the military refused? So maybe those that refused are the "woke" ones

One problem with Magas is ignorance or disrespect
for the rule of law, ie, the Constitution & posse comitatus.
I've had to inform many Magas just what that last term is.
They had no idea. One even wanted the military to shoot
all people in LGBT parades. Mass executions of gay & trans
folk. Such is the seething ignorant violent hatred in the
underbelly of Trump's cult.

You didn't get it.
I was specifically talking about "wokism".

What I got was that you loathe "wokism".
But your post lacked any specific policies I could address.
I need more than mere railing against the term.

This article says nothing about plans to attack American citizens, and I don't know where you get the idea that any immigrants are going to be deported. If you mean illegal aliens, they're not immigrants; immigrants are foreigners who enter the country legally - they're admitted into the country, and didn't sneak in without permission to enter the country.

What do you think some of the 'woke' military leaders have been doing?
What change do you think some of the posters here are talking about that they don't like?
Are you just posting for the sake of posting?
Do you need me to spoon feed you?
Move on to other posts - if you don't get it.

 

[Revoltingest]

This article says nothing about plans to attack American citizens....

Still, Trump advocates police violence against civilians.

Individual Magas will support this until they
are they ones beaten & arrested for "looking
suspicious". But that has a benefit, ie, it will
be an edifying experience.

 

[Revoltingest]

Do you need me to spoon feed you?

I want you to rise above merely fulminating
against "wokism". State specific concerns
worthy of discussion.
Let the shadow be bright, rather than dim.

But I doubt Trump thinks of consequences of his actions.

Should Trump round up the suspected Generals, for a firing squad, to address your concern about them passing military secrets? That would be more Stalinist. Trump is too soft to do that.

There are too many Generals, who are less working for the military, and more for Politicians and the Military Industrial Complex; corruption. Field Generals will be spared, since they are doing the proper mission of the military. DEI is gone since recruitment has falling because pansies do not make good soldiers. Those wish to be good soldiers do not see that opportunity in the current military. Pete Hegseth is an old time solider and see their needs. He can also help pick the General who are useless; do more with less.

Ok I will play one more time. I will give you a hint.
Look what I wrote here...

>"To facilitate some (a tiny fraction) for their right to serve their nation - you cannot irritate the majority who are already serving and who don't want the changes at such a quick pace."<

Now think - what did I mean by this.

Could it be - I am talking about "freedom of expression"? You know - "Be all you can be".
Yeah! That slogan was not meant to be the way it is used now.

Still nothing to address.
I advise doing some research into military policies.
Discover which you like, & which you oppose.
Construct rational arguments against the latter.
Tell us about them.

Woke makes no sense in the Military. The job of the military is to train and prepare for war, with war hell. War training requires one become tough and hardened to hardships and stress. This is the nature of war and the basic needs of all soldiers.

Woke is about pandering to DNC operatives, who would melt if not pampered properly. That is the wrong training for preparing for success in war. The pansies need to be made tough, such as by being made fun of, for wanting to stand out while being odd. This hardening training can be kept up until they are war hardened, and only then they will never have to worry about melting, again, under any condition. They become self standing soldiers instead of propped up pansies, by polite fakeness in others. This reminds me of women at a party gossiping behind the back but polite face to face.

If all the soldiers are trained to become sensitive sissies, they will run away or hide in battle. The stress of the enemy will cause a melt down. All the enemy would need to do is yell taboo words; use the pronouns wrong, and the pansies will melt, throw a fit, and lose the battle. It is counter productive to pander to weakness, when the goal of the military is to project strength, so you never have to fight. China and Russia are laughing and wondering; WTF. We need to man up the military and make the pansies tough weeds that survive anywhere. From that you can build respect instead of pity.

Trump is begging for a military coup against him. This should be interesting. Gonna stock up on popcorn.
