That’s actually pretty scary. Are we expecting mass casualties? I wonder if there is an imminent housecleaning.

It’s called a chain of command.

It goes 18 levels deep all the way to Assistant Secretaries?
Ridiculous. Who is going to obey a secretary as having authority? Might as well go all the way down to buck private and base janitor.

Assistant Secretaries in this context are high ranking military officers. They are probably Generals.

This is probably routine, but, it makes you wonder if the decks are being cleared...

When the truth comes out of ALL that China has done to this country, we’ll likely be at war.

“When the truth comes out of ALL that China has done to this country, we’ll likely be at war.”
I too see that as a probability. It might likely include India and some SEA countries, like Vietnam fighting the Chinese as well. The trump card will be Russia. Will they be on the sidelines eating popcorn, or pick a side?

Good question.. i had the same thought.
I’m guessing he cut out an office he knows to be in the deep state.

If you take a look at what Trump has done to the CCP over the last 4 years, and combine that with what GOD has done to China in the last 4 months....
They may not have a choice.
This may very well be Trump’s end game for the CCP...
Not CCP’s endgame for us.

This isn’t routine, especially with a prez supposedly in final days.
This is gearing up for losses, which requires war.

The Assistant Secretaries I met were either retire military (not all Generals) or SES types. Civilians that are treated like Generals. The appointed Secretaries are temporary, an SES is generally a career bureaucrat. That has been my experience anyway. Some of the Assistants Secretaries were pretty cool people. Some were former enlisted, one was a CMH holder from Vietnam another was a retired enlisted guy who was very good at some arcane stuff and because of that he valuable to the DOD. I think he was the only guy in DOD who knew how to make coffee😂

It’s called protecting our Republic from a Communist takeover by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Communist China.
