    Not even normal soldiers, but as decoration. They’ll be there to make him look good, for “optics”, and will serve the same function as furniture and wall art. All for a talk that is about army fitness and not anything requiring terribly delicate security?

    If they have any self-respect they’ll be talking amongst eachother right now saying the same shit and deciding not to go. Besides, if security is the reason they should all be gathered then security is also the reason why that’s a terrible idea.

      They think all these Generals are on their side, but Generals value competence and loyalty, and they know what Treason looks like.

      These MAGA dumbfucks haven’t realized that they are gathering ALL the military high command together, so they can start their military uprising.

        they know what Treason looks like.

        That’s fucking hilarious. These same generals are perfectly okay with deploying troops against American citizens in Portland.

          How do you know that? How do you know that they haven’t been stewing like the rest of us, slowly getting hotter and hotter?

          Now they get to meet with their peers, and find out they’ve ALL been thinking the same things, and they want to come up with a plan.

          Frankly, that scenario is as plausible as the one in which they toss away every military dream they ever had, to be recorded in history as the weakass generals who let the Nazis take over the world.

            “The president just said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas within the United States.”

            If there is no coup now, our military leadership is 100% on board with killing US citizens. They would be just as bad as the “weakass generals who let the nazis take over”.

            Let’s see what happens, shall we?

              Trump and Hegseth would have no trouble ordering the military to fire on American citizens, they are confirmed psychopaths. I’m not convinced that the majority of Generals would follow that rule. I suspect that MOST would not.

                I admire your optimism. I suspect that the vast majority of them would open fire on american babies if Trump told them to.
