That is 100% in character for MAGA: at the same time they screech "dOn'T cAlL uS nAzIs" while also saying "Hitler did many good things"

The only good thing Hitler did was kill Hitler.
True, but counterpoint: he also killed the guy who killed Hitler
What an evil bastard! Ok, so who killed the guy who killed Hitler?
You're not going to believe this...

1200 missing from “Alligator Auschwitz.” We are at death camp stage.

So if you're one of those generals, do you recite the new oath or do you allow them to purge everyone loyal to the Constitution?
Itd be nice if they faked the bad oath to secretly protect the constitution.
This is actually a tactic listed in the official CIA “Simple Sabotage” handbook. Basically, if you can’t overtly sabotage things by blowing them up while maintaining your cover, work to sabotage things from inside instead.
Get a job in middle management, and do everything in your power to live up to the term “middle manglement”. Do your job as poorly as possible while still maintaining plausible deniability. Make it difficult for people around you to do their jobs. Give other managers bad info. Sow division via gossip. Divert employees towards busy work so they can’t focus on important tasks. Waste budgets. Ensure deadlines get missed, while demanding unreasonable deadlines for other teams. Et cetera…
And I can guarantee that generals will be well aware of this fact. Plenty of them got into their spots by being war dogs, but they won’t be stupid.
You just described every middle manager ever.
What if all middle managers are just plants from competing companies?

Just thinking out loud here.
Faking it also give them power. If all the generals go in an give an oath to the furher, they don't all have to mean it for it to have far reaching effects.
But if you're not going to take the oath, I feel like you have to have a real plan for resistance beyond just get escorted... out.
It doesn't help that our government was founded with a core principle of the military being subservient to a civilian command.
These are smart people entrusted with the most powerful military in history. If anyone can find a strategy to prevent the Fourth Reich, it's them.
I feel like that's probably the logic of a lot of Nazi generals who just you know continued to be Nazi generals. As in just self justification.

They cross their fingers while saying it and it’s legally non-binding

Last year I heard a talk by retired Admiral Stravidis, who among other things was supreme commander of NATO for a few years. He pointed out that by the time somebody makes the rank of General or Admiral they will have sworn that oath a bunch of times. They renew that oath each time they are promoted etc. They also would have administered that oath to countless other soldiers & sailors over the years.
Fire all the generals and admirals, and guess what? They are replaced by junior officers who have repeated the oath to the US Constitution almost as many times. There’s always the chance that some may decide to bend the knee to Trump, but there are significantly more that likely won’t.
Here’s how this goes: they take any other oath instead of the one they already took, TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION FROM ENEMIES DOMESTIC, we kill them.
It’s that simple. This clownfuck administration has been fucking around for nine months. How bad do they want to find out.

If you're one of those generals, you have an oath to the Constitution so you protect the Constitution with the same dedication as if you were on a battlefield. Soldiers don't change team midway. Even amateur athletes don't do that.

Goodness, this is fake right? Please?
This is happening. There is NO waiting it out and shit changes. MAGA destroyed the United States of America. You get that, right?
You may go to work tomorrow but it won’t be under a democratic republic.
Tomorrow is Sunday
Millions of people work in the service industries each and every Sunday.

LOL! Nah. Everyone will vote against the Republicans in 2026 and everything will go back to normal, don’t you know.
Perpetually online motherfuckers moving around through inertia alone with no capacity for anything that remotely feels like confrontation.
We’re doomed to this.
I don’t think it’s just the perpetually online. I think Americans in general still think they will be able to actually vote in the mid terms
That too. There aren’t going to be any midterms. Any elections we do have will be in the style of the Putin regime.

Well, I won't work tomorrow. But on Monday it will be under a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy.
Nope
So is this in response to the largest “secret” general meeting in US history that took place a few days ago?
You are misinformed. The meeting was announced a few days ago and is scheduled for next week.
No fucking way. No fucking way.
No one will convince me this is real.
this is real.
this is really happening.
Another source could help:

With all due respect, that's almost as annoying as the fact that it's actually happening.

Actually can't tell if this is satire.
(Pls tell me this is photoshop)
It's real. From the yahoo news article that someone else linked: The defense secretary wrote “Cool story, General” in response to a tweet from retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges about Adolf Hitler gathering Nazi generals in 1935 and them being “required to swear a personal oath to the Führer.”
It's real but articles I've found seem to assume he was being sarcastic. I didn't see anywhere that he declared it so, it just seems to be an assumption based on "he couldn't possibly have meant that"

Obviously no good can come of this domestically, but since all the Generals will be there instead of doing their jobs, it would also be a window of opportunity for China to invade Taiwan.
Yeah. Unless of course it's not the 18th century and it no longer matters where a General is physically located.
