    I really expected to see more pushback from the military. Every single one of them swore to defend the Constitution from all threats foreign and domestic, and are literally oath-bound to engage Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the US. Instead they keep just blindly following orders from chief domestic enemy while the Constitution burns.

    Like, I never expected to see the military actually unite against the Trump regime, but surely there are at least a few thousand people in a force that large who take their oath seriously, right? …apparently not. Not a single one of the troops has stepped up to do what’s right, opting instead to do what’s easy.

    Cowards and/or traitors, all of them.

      I think that stems from a misunderstanding of what the US military is. It’s the armed force that maintains and expands the amerikkkan empire, nothing more or less than that. Any pretense of an “oath” or any kind of rules or laws or principles is just a pretense.
