Now the republicans need to be careful of falling victim to the same thing.

I think I heard someone say there has been 80k purged due to DEI and Hegseth will offer them their full pay for amount of time out and resume status of where you were when pushed out.

If that number is correct, that is Fing ridiculous

---

That makes zero sense and is the opposite of everything Hegseth has ever said in regard to dei and the military.


Edit... I think you are trying to say that non dei employees were let go and will be brought back

---

Yes sorry, I suck at writing

That's what happens when you govern like the other side will never regain power.

Oopsie.

every idiot put into place by the apocryphal Milley

needs to become a member of a board of directors in the private sector

there are now FORTY FOUR 4 Star Generals

In the Civil War with 620,000 dead Americans there were fewer!

Why so many? U.S. had less than 20 four star generals in WW2.

Traitor Milley needs to see a firing squad

Start out by giving all those fatasses 60 days to meet their services height weight standard. Miley was a disgrace to the uniform.

I love the use of "we are archiving it." Saw that in Maricopa County right before the Cyber Ninja audit was ordered by a judge to start. Election data was "archived" and then an Ooopsie! we lost the archived files.

I'm choosing to hope that the Trump campaign was anticipating this and has already undertaken contingency measures to ensure that the relevant info has already been secured for future reference. (Need to do the same in DOJ/State as well)

---

There will be enough whistleblowers coming forward so that all those that are guilty in weakening our military will see "justice".

And I an sure that the DEI office in the Pentagon is now "vacant".

Even during WW II, we never had this many four star generals.

What also needs to be "cleaned" up are the service academies.

No, the purpose is not to fire people because of their political beliefs, it is to fire people who implement stupid ass programs that aren't a part of the military's primary function of killing the enemy and destroying their stuff.

---

What about just general defense of the use and preventing our enemy's from attacking and mitigating threats or testing equipment that aid in the same? I'm pretty sure the DoD's mission is just a little bit more than "killing and destroying".

How exactly would one be confident they're not? Can the predict how they are perceived politically 100%? My guess is that anyone who wants to stay employed there likely has some anxiety. Certainly those who are overtly political at their job should be more anxious.

So I'm assuming they'll only fire those that are know to be more liberal leaning and vocal about it than those are are conservative but vocal about it.

I thought the whole purpose was to root out people who express political bias in there jobs, from either end. Otherwise its going to be a huge turnstile of new employees every time a new party is in the WH. That's common at the top levels but I'd think rather inefficient in the masses at the lower levels.

---

Always the worst takes. You're just so far off here that it isn't even worth trying to help you understand.

---

Its okay if you don't have the ability to form a cogent response. You could save your time and just response with "I don't like your posts"....or maybe just not reply if you can't come up with something. No one would know that you don't. But when you keep replying with this, you let everyone know.

Stop looking for wiggle room. Defense's purpose is also to kill people and break things. If it happens to also be a deterrent because of this, so be it.

Why does Breitbart show a photo of Gen Milley? He's been retired for over a year now.

you do realize that people can be charged with crimes

even if they are not in the same work position where they committed those crimes?

Go bags, foreign passports! Seems like some government types are actually planning to flee:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/14/trump-critics-enemies-presidency-preparations/

" A retired U.S. Army officer who clashed with senior officials in Donald Trump's first White House looked into acquiring Italian citizenship in the run-up to this month's election but wasn't eligible and instead packed a "go bag" with cash and a list of emergency numbers in case he needs to flee."

" A member of Trump's first administration who publicly denounced him is applying for foreign citizenship and weighing whether to watch and wait or leave the country before the Jan. 20 inauguration.
And a former U.S. official who signed a notorious October 2020 letter suggesting that emails purportedly taken from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden could be part of a "Russian information operation" is seeking a passport from a European country, uncertain about whether the getaway will prove necessary but concluding, "You don't want to have to scramble."

Good grief those guys are paranoid...or feeling very guilty?

Who exactly or what organization do these people think is going to come for them in the dark of night to punish them for their crime for speaking out against Trump?

This is what I'm constantly asking those on the left when they say Trump is going to become a quasi dictator of sorts who quashes the constitution and sends people off to camps for opposing MAGA. What is the mechanism he uses to do so? The military? Nope. I'm quite confident those general officers will tell him to **** off if he gives that order, not that he would. The DOJ? Same. Local law enforcement? Again, he'll get a hearty **** you. Bands of MAGA diehards? Yeah, I guess he could try but that would be easy to stamp out. Again, not that he would try.

The drama of these people is priceless.

I now one they/them person who retired last year and they are glad they did
