Even though he holds their worldview, Matthis is kind of a moron. They shouldn't appoint him based on that.

Well if troops turn their backs on him he will have no authority. Which is exactly what they should do. This is getting too political.

Yeah, I'm kinda waiting for that to happen. We've got a guy that cheated the living shit out of an election in front of the entire world, along with members of congress that cheated their way in, that are now passing temporary exceptions to laws to install more rogue members? What in the fuck even IS this anymore?

They want to follow a plan that goes against the people and the country. I believe it's time for state governments to start secession. If we have 2 sides fighting for us (their currency) we end up in a better spot but the sooner the better. Everyone should be calling their state legislators.

The argument is that the rise of white supremacy is a problem and a problem in the military that needs to be addressed. He should have this position based on his skin color.
