An overly generous moniker. Call them by their real names. Brownshirts, fascist pigs, gestapo. Public official doesn't capture their nature or function.
Because they are the criminal thug caste of the criminal gang that seized power illegally in your country. Your military is breaking their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
You now live in a gangster's paradise. A shithole country. A no go zone.
Not just our military, but every politician, of both stripes.
The military really hasn't stepped over the line yet, or at least not that far. They have been openly reminded by several ex-military members of Congress that they must refuse illegal orders, and MAGA made a big deal out of it, so nobody can say they didn't understand. So when the moment comes when they are asked to fire on American citizens, then we'll find out where they really stand.
But the politicians have had many, many opportunities to honor their oaths to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they have woefully fallen short of that promise, both MAGAS and Democrats.
MAGA represents the biggest national security threat in the history of this country. Even the Civil War was only political. Today we are fighting an international organization of mobsters who have targeted our government for the sole reason of mercilessly and ruthlessly exploiting us in every possible way.
Trump is doing to America what he did to his Casinos - suck every bit of profit out of it, leave the empty shell behind, and stick every one else with the bill. He's done it several times before, so he's good at it.
And the politicians are allowing it.
