Not all, relatively few were fired. Either way, hundreds of thousands of military members are doing his bidding without a concern. If a few percent defied him, he’d be done, he wouldn’t be able to fire and replace that many people. “I was just following orders” is not an excuse.
I view deployment orders and mission orders differently. I don’t think these units truly understand the mission outside of being a visible deterrent for crime prevention. Wait until they are asked to make arrests, do crowd control or defend themselves That’s when you’ll see defiance and refusal
I hope we see defiance if asked to do worse, but the way they’re incrementally giving in doesn’t give me confidence.
It’s tough to refuse deployment orders when your mission is murky. I think they all understand they aren’t being asked to do anything illegal at this point They are pawns in a tyrants fascist game Very disrespectful to treat our men and woman soldiers that way Trump overestimates their loyalty
Being deployed against Americans on American soil should’ve been a red line. That no one in the military is speaking out against it is damning. None are speaking out about giving full military honors to a domestic terrorist. Not confidence inspiring.
Not inspiring I would agree but active military is prohibited from publicly speaking out. And guard units are very often deployed on US soil for ‘emergencies’. I think it’s best that Trump doesn’t know how they think at this point. Keep your cards close at hand. I personally see a military coup.
You have more confidence than I do in the group of people who overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
But 40 percent of military did not. Could very well be a civil war within the ranks of the military before we see a war between blue states and the federal government. But a war is coming.
They aren’t idiots. They know full well what Trump is doing. They know full well they’re being deployed against Americans. They know full well the citizens of those cities don’t want them there.
