    See. If he’s just wanting to fire people out of spite - I don’t care.

    But I feel he may want to stuff generals with his hires to then just invoke a martial law and execute a coup.

      That’s absolutely what he’s trying to do. My point is that the US military doesn’t operate like Toys-R-Us or Twitter or whatever. You can’t just fire the boss of the division, bring in a new guy who says we’re going to go shoot some protestors now, and have all the battalion commanders under them say, “Oh, okay, that’s weird but w/e.”

      At least, I hope not. I’m pretty sure though. It’s not simple like Trump is thinking, and he doesn’t have the level of understanding to pull it off and make it work.

      Remember this? Listen to them cheering:
