Now we have had condemnation from a number of generals and admirals now. Trump is losing the military.
One wonders if the military will march him out of the WH when he loses come November, will he try to make up some excuses to arrest congress and senate? Would the military go along with that extreme action if he was so stupid as to do that?

@sonhouse saidThe entire military will definitely not. Now, if he starts firing generals and replacing them with his loyalists, i would start worrying.

@sonhouse saidGens. H.R. McMaster, Kelly, James Mattis, Joseph Dunford, James Amos, John Allen, John Paxton Jr., Col. Alexander Vindman and Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, all either quit or were fired by Trump.

Pretty sure that's not a full list.

@eladar saidAren’t they are sworn to protect the constitution rather than the political fortunes of any given president?
Easy fix, fire the Secretary of Defense and replace the establishment Generals with actual Generals who follow chain of command.
Have any of them refused to carry out a direct military order from Trump?
Isn’t their right to free speech protected under the constitution.

@shavixmir saidThe question was if Trump is using the military unconstititionally.
Jr. was a moron, but he at least listened to advisors... sure, many of them were wrong and complete bastards, but at least he didn’t think he was the singular of correctness in the universe.
During the Rodney King riots GW put US troops on every corner in LA. The military put down the riot block by block. All looting and vandalism stopped.
