This is not rumor
Guy I served with in Vietnam has a son who is a very senior (name of military service omitted) officer with several stars. He tells me that his son and "a lot" of colonels/captains, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-stars are NOT HAPPY about a these killings and a LOT more of the Trump-Hegseth bullshit. They universally have no respect for Hegseth and consider the "Dept of War" to be a bad, stupid, not funny joke.
Will there be a "night of the long knives" in reverse in the US? Probably not, but we have never before lived in times like these.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
