They want to silence the troops so that when they order them to open fire on us, the citizens, they'll be too afraid not to. Good little Nazi troops who'll do whatever horrid things Dear Leader Shitznpants says...
People here like to imagine that the military is going to resist the fascist takeover. Well, so far they haven't balked at carrying out any of the blatantly illegal orders. If they're going to resist, about now would be the time. Not holding my breath, though.
Yeah. I haven't heard anyone getting imprisoned for refusing to follow orders, they're just following them dutifully. Also when the shutdown happened some billionaire stepped in and paid only the military, that should have had people rioting. The message that sent is not too pretty, the military is bought out.
Didn't someone quit from the navy who was down in Venezuela before? About 2 months before the illegal attacks on boats with no evidence and civilians on board?
I have noted a rise in those advising what is legal and not and an equal rise in those who raise questions being forcefully silenced.
I wouldn't put it pass the media to bury instances of soldiers bucking the fascists.
They are, but not in the way you're expecting. It wasn't a good idea for the administration to force out everyone with decades of military experience.
There's a growing resistance movement among veterans and even current military members, but they're being understandably quiet about it.
I've met many people in the military, they all fawn over Trump. I think maybe 1/10 doesn't based on my anecdotal experience. So this whole military resist wetdream is not happening.
Commander Shitznpants.
