Would be fully justified to fire ALL military leadership down to the E5 level.

It will be easier to blow up military leadership and start over, than it will be to fix the harm these partisan shitshows have done to good order and discipline.

Or...,and this is just me speaking as a veteran who served 30 years in the Navy....

(Ahem) The fucking NCOs, Divo's, Dept Heads and senior leadership could START DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS!!!!
