The problem is, like everything else to MAGAs, the military is only as good and professional as Trump and his sychophants say it is.Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, has repeatedly said the U.S. should clean house on the senior ranks of the military, pushing the claim that all the generals and admirals are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war.His solution? Fire them all, and promote “the most conservative colonels.”Masters obviously never served. The U.S. military is diverse. It is inclusive. It encourages independent thinking (to a degree) and initiative on the part of junior officers.
Leadership includes fostering strong relations and respect for its "blue collar employees," meaning the enlisted ranks.
Firing the professionals and replacing them with political toadies would be a terrific way to destroy the greatest fighting institution on the planet.
Just another example of how eager conservatives are to turn this country into Russia.Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, has repeatedly said the U.S. should clean house on the senior ranks of the military, pushing the claim that all the generals and admirals are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war.His solution?

I think a better solution is to fire the Commander in Chief.Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, has repeatedly said the U.S. should clean house on the senior ranks of the military, pushing the claim that all the generals and admirals are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war.His solution?

Legal orders, illegal orders, or both?I think a better solution is to fire the Commander in Chief.
Then, if the Generals don't follow the new CinC's orders...fire them.

Legal orders, of course.Legal orders, illegal orders, or both?
Yes. And now we have Generals who "are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war".We voters did fire Trump. And replaced him with Biden.
Thank God.
Shrug...the last commander in chief was already fired partly because he spurred his Trump Traitors to insurrection.I think a better solution is to fire the Commander in Chief.
Then, if the Generals don't follow the new CinC's orders...fire them.
What generals are those? Do you think there are a bunch of new generals since Biden took office?Yes. And now we have Generals who "are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war".
That's why we need to fire the CinC.
You'll have to ask the OP.What generals are those? Do you think there are a bunch of new generals since Biden took office?
We'll have to wait and see, but that doesn't alter my opinion.Your next chance to fire the president is in 2024. I do t think the majority of Americans will be with you though.
Yes. And now we have Generals who "are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war".
That's why we need to fire the CinC.
it would be hard for them not to be.Hate to tell Masters this but almost without exception top military people are conservative, not MAGA but conservative.
I wonder how many people were saying the same thing when the military began racial desegregation?Yes. And now we have Generals who "are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war".
That's why we need to fire the CinC.
Blake the mistake...Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, has repeatedly said the U.S. should clean house on the senior ranks of the military, pushing the claim that all the generals and admirals are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war.His solution?

'America-hating trans-islamic hoplophobic lesbo-marxist!'Oh yes, military purges, that never goes badly.
I'd love to see what the reaction of conservatives would be if a Democrat decided to say something this stupid.
Yes. And now we have Generals who "are “woke” and “left-wing” losers who’ve never won a war".
That's why we need to fire the CinC.
'America-hating trans-islamic hoplophobic lesbo-marxist!'
I was summarizing the reaction you mused about.I am?
Oh, I don't know about the rest but I like America just fine.
Unlike the generals, CinC is an elected position.I think a better solution is to fire the Commander in Chief.
