If only things could be that linear.
I have long been suspicious of the loyalty of certain elements of the military - something most anons seem to take for granted.
Recent events (Esper against invoking the Insurrection Act, Milley criticism re: photo op and more, negative POTUS comments from generals purged by Obama(!), and D/S concerted program to drive a wedge between POTUS and serving forces, etc.) have only reinforced those lingering concerns.
Interestingly, Dick Black (VA State Senator) thinks along similar lines.
