If America’s military will surrender to the ruling communist infiltrators who stole a national election by fraud, as they appear to have done, who can be confident this U.S. military can defeat ANY foreign adversary?

A military who cannot distinguish between right and wrong does not deserve our respect or support. It is WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE whom they are supposed to serve.

I see evidence of our military filling its bases with unvetted foreigners and spending a fortune of AMERICAN taxpayer dollars on these illiterate invaders who have no common language or culture with us and are nothing but a permanent burden upon us.

This is the same military who abandoned AMERICAN CITIZENS now hostage in Afghanistan.

There is no HONOR in any of this.

This military has completely lost its sense of duty to the American people.

Pinochet did wonderful things for Chile, moving them from third world to first world status in a generation.

It is estimated that 2,000 or so hardcore leftists disappeared on his watch.

I doubt that we could be so economical.

Columbia’s.

It will be like Columbia’s was. And still is to a degree.

And not one of Biden’s sycophant generals (or cabinet members) have resigned in protest over these disastrous policies.

**************

Our generals are now politicians in uniform.

Whether we have the courage to use them is another question.

Ruby Ridge/Randy Weaver
Waco
LaVoy Finicum
Unconstitutional gun laws
Government by decree of unelected alphabet agencies
Onerous taxation
Unconstitutional mandates

No, we don't have the courage. There are no patriots left. That includes the hacks involved with the oath breakers, 2%ers and Pride Boys.

When will the next great American general surface? One along the lines of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight Eisenhower, George S. Patton, or Douglas MacArthur? Perhaps in America's next war?

Certainly not Milley - unless you need leadership on fabulous hair.

I think George Orwell spent some time there, and it influenced his writing.

There are several difficulties with a coup scenario. The Left learned in Spain in the 1930s and Chile in the 1970s that they must control the armed services. As far back as the 1960s, conservatives in the military were denied promotion to flag level. Membership in the Council on Foreign Relations was in the resumes of many generals and admirals. Graduate work in liberal think tanks and universities was an important stepping stone to advancement. Democratic administrations from LBJ to Obama favored politically correct senior officers. Especially under Obama, generals and admirals suspected of conservative positions were forced out.

By 2017, Trump faced a Pentagon as hostile to him as was most of the permanent bureaucracy. He couldn't even get the military to send troops to suppress riots in DC, as Hoover, LBJ, and Nixon did. I don't doubt many NCOs and junior officers are disgusted by Biden and the forced vaccination requirements. However, they will be culled out through resignations and retirement. I don't see an American Franco or Pinochet on the horizon.

Plus, we have guns. Lots of them. Whether we have the courage to use them is another question.

Having them and knowing how to use them effectively are two different things.

The average age of empires, according to a specialist on the subject, the late Sir John Bagot Glubb, is 250 years. After that, empires always die, often slowly but overwhelmingly from overreaching in the search for power. The America of 1776 will reach its 250th year in 2026.

...thanks to the internet real news does get out.
Yes, there are avenues to allow bonafide news...though through the increasing censorship actions of MSM/Google/Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/et al, these avenues are surely diminishing.

Notwithstanding that many Millennials, Gen Y, Karens obviate/negate the acceptance, the dissemination of 'real news'.

Obama stated purging the military of it’s conservative leadership. Biden, or I should say his main handler Obama, has accelerated that process. What do you think the woke military would do if ordered to take control of all state capitals in order to “protect the union” from “domestic terrorists” aka Trump supporters.

Yet Franco refused to allow the Germans to install artillery so they could bombard Gibraltar, and kept Spain out of the war by not joining the Axis Powers.

And remember, the “Republican” Spanish took help from Stalin’s USSR. Think of all that GOLD looted from the Aztecs and Incas that was shipped to Russia for “safekeeping” that disappeared into the Russian vaults.

What if the military does a coup, removes Biden et al. Then declares a new election run by the military?

The military is in lockstep with him, and everyone above Colonel is a dedicated one world globalist. And now that the highest ranks are 100% authoritarian progressive, they are packing the lower ranks with women, homos, progressives, trannies, woke types like Reality Winner, Bradley Manning, and the Vindman brothers.
