Does it bother anybody else that all of the Joint Chiefs were nominated by the very president who would benefit from their support in the most telegraphed coup in world history?
Chairman Mark A. Milley, October 2019, replacing an Obama appointee
Vice Chairman John E. Hyten, November 2019, replacing an Obama appointee
Chief of Staff of the Army James C. McConville, August 2019, replacing an Obama appointee
Commandant of the Marine Corps David H. Berger, July 2019, replacing an Obama appointee
Chief of Naval Operations Michael M. Gilday, August 2019, replacing an Obama appointee
Chief of Staff of the Air Force Charles Q. Brown, August 2020, replacing an Obama appointee
“Chief of Space Operations” John W. Raymond, December 2019, a position invented by Trump, even though we don’t and can’t DO operations in space
Chief of the National Guard Bureau Daniel R. Hokanson, August 2020, replacing an Obama appointee
Add to this the fact that Trump fired his Secretary of Defense and he’s looking at firing the heads of the FBI and CIA, this should raise some serious red flags.
A good soldier is trained to disobey an illegal order, but at the same time an order coming directly from the president has the presumption of legality. Let’s hope they’re all loyal to the country first, and the Commander in Chief second.
