Ok so that's what I'm saying fren lol think about that whole list you made why do you think the military is any different? Especially after Trump ruined their never ending war racket. I know people like to think the military is a right wing supporting entity but that is a generalization. The top brass is not right leaning they are establishment leaning.
Second in command is secretary of defense not state, and the Joint Chiefs already published a memo on Tuesday making their position clear (it's not with Trump). It's true that the foot soldiers are super pro-Trump but it's been made clear to them after Jan 6 that they face court-martial if they take action. We can't exactly ask them to risk that while obeying all this advice to stay home to avoid falling into antifa traps.
Their position is "with" The Constitution and to protect it from enemies both foreign and domestic.
If they are in possession of evidence of both foreign interference with our election and treasonous collusion they are mandated by oath to do something about it. They are not required to telegraph what that is, either.
I believe with all of my intellect Trump won the election handily. What else is happening is beyond my grasp - but I won't doubt Trump until he actually, truly loses.
The military is apolitical. It doesn't prefer Democrats, it doesn't prefer Republicans. It's leaders appreciate clear, rational decision makers.
The military's oath is to the Constitution, not the president. Individual military members are trained to refuse orders that are unlawful/immoral/unethical.
So do they have no responsibility or recourse if/when the party that prevails in the civilian process is calling for dismantling many of the nation's assets, tear apart the processes enshrined in the founding document, and the incoming leadership even calls for violence and censorship against the other half of the country?
Ie if they want to defend Americans, all Americans, wouldn't they have some responsibility to intervene when some in Congress are calling for white men to be put in camps? Or people be denied access to public transit and even food if they're non-compliant with unconstitutional mandates (vaccines and masks)?
Oath is to the Constitution, not one man's interpretation of it. If that were the case, you could transfer the oath to any president with a constitutional philosophy i.e. all of them.
The military has its own legal counsel to ensure it is in compliance with the constitution, not Trump, nor Obama, not Bush, etc.
My point is this: viewing the military as a mere extension of President Trump's whims is incorrect and blind to the American tradition.

But not at the General rank.
Pompeo said that two months ago. In interviews just yesterday talked about President Biden and transition.
Link?

Dude, where are all these camps of white men? Are you referring to Bass Pro Shop?
