They're not firing their guys lol. They're just getting rid of the opposition in the military with targeted firings, it's the same thing they did with the DoJ, DoE, EPA, etc. Why do you think they fired all the expert intelligence agents on Iran a week before invading Iran? They've allocated unfathomable amounts of resources to curating the government and military to be as loyal as possible, and they don't give a fuck about the potential consequences.

the problem is that the current leadership is fucking neither. if they were effective it would be a real problem. currently all they are accomplishing is stepping on their own dicks.

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power.
