"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

This isn't so much about Ashli Babbitt. This is about forcing the military service chiefs to do, and publicly support, dishonorable acts. It's about eroding the sanctity of the oath they take and making military leadership more ethically pliable for even worse acts. There will be more of this
