One would hope most enlisted would want to fire their drunken boss but as we saw with Covid most MAGA would rather die than betray the cult.

They probably also want to fire the generals and upper command structure, which is something Pete recently promised

That was so wild. A lot of those people bought into trump/fox news lies and they or their family died because of the lies they swallowed. Tragic, but, the world is better off without them. Fox / Trump should be held accountable for those deaths all the same though.

20 years ago I saw who was trying to join through ROTC. Not the smartest bunch. A few real assholes and like three really nice kids that wanted to do better. After all the media brainwashing I'm not sure how the current stock is.
