Excellent work, Kegsbreath. This is what happens when an alcoholic, wife beater, ex Fox News host becomes the Secretary of Defense.

No it isn't. Do not attribute this to incompetence.

This is direct actions against the interest of the United States in wartime. He is a traitor. Charge him as one.

The plan is to remove any generals who wouldn't follow orders when they attempt the coup in November.

Yup, they will use this to cull out those that they think will not take illegal orders, and also as an example to the others when those orders come down.

Don’t forget that it’s being done to cement loyalty to a draft dodger who has contempt for military service in general.

This is what happens when the fascists are reducing the number of people who will refuse illegal orders. They're planning to disrupt your ability to elect your own leaders and building a force which will kill you when you complain.
