The one good outcome of this shitshow is that all these men got a good, long look at what's going on in DC

The dribbling senility of the CIC . The parading, peacocking paranoia of the SECWAR. They all saw it at the same time.

Godspeed to them as they return to their posts around the world. God help us all.

1. Like me, they probably avoid watching him

But when you sit through an actual performance of his...

OMG

[Ocelot II]

2. Looks like there are still a few Black generals. The women seem to have been purged already.

How much longer before the un-White ones are removed as well?

[Hekate]

3. Talk about a hostile working environment

[drray23]

4. They will fall in line like everybody else.

I dont think they will resist Trump. We have already seen them happily blowing up boats in international waters on the say so of Hegseth.
We had marines deployed to LA.

Its slowly becoming the new normal for citizens to see the military or federal forces in battle gear roaming the streets.

These guys will just want to keep their jobs and pensions and do what's asked of them.

16. That remains to be seen

5. This general at that speech is all of us:

[hvn_nbr_2]

11. At first glance, I thought I knew which general you meant. But then...

But then I looked again:
One was facepalming (my initial choice). One is laughing at him. One is hostile. One is snickering. One is looking angrily and incredulously at the person beside him. Two have faces down dejectedly. And one looks like he wants to punch him.

[SunSeeker]

21. I'm referring to the general face-palming, of course.

6. Was there a reason

for packing them in there like sardines?

7. Weak strongman's idea of a "power move."

"I'm in charge of this court! Stand up! Sit down! Go 'moo'! ...See? Right, now, on with the pixie hats! And order in the skating vicar! And... Anything goes in..."

8. Very few will do the right thing

18. That remains to be seen

10. I doubt Mr. trump can bully the military.

He can certainly act or speak against it, but if he believes these officers would betray the Constitution out of self-interest to give him loyalty, he is beyond delusional and far into the blithering mad idiot areas. I think you’re right — this certainly isn’t Russia’s for-profit officer corps and general staff giving him the eye.

12. Could this be the starting point for "Seven Days in May"?

But, instead of taking down a good president for personal power, they would be taking down a corrupt administration for the good of democracy?
And, instead of meeting in the locker room, this is the meeting where they all come together for the initial planning, and instead of a few generals in secret, it winds up being a lot, openly?
I guess we'll never know, but it does make for interesting speculation.

13. In the photo . . .

The grey-haired 4-star is the Commandant, US Marine Corps. To his right -- to the left in the photo -- is the Command Sergeant Major of the Army -- the SENIOR enlisted soldier in the Army. He is wearing a Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) which is awarded ONLY to soldiers who served IN GROUND COMBAT. And his has a wreth and a star, signifying THREE awards. He's wearing a Purple Heart, awarded ONLY for wonds received in combat. He's also wearing a Special Forces tab on his shoulder.

Hegseth is a failed National Guard major who is not fit to shine the CSM's boots.

14. Great post my friend

And an astute observation.

[Hekate]

19. Watching MSNBC right now (Nicolle Wallace) and just kind of losing my mind

There’s a street in Santa Barbara*, Calif. named Salsipuedes. It means: Get Out While You Can.

* lived next door to SB for about 40 years

Salsipuedes.

[canetoad]

20. Of course

I had to look that up and found The Massacre of Salsipuedes. Scary stuff.
