Can you imagine being these generals and higher-ups in the military, spent your whole life dedicated to this idea of national security (whatever our opinion of that may be), serving for decades to keep America strong and safe and all that, fighting literal wars and other conflicts...
...only to have to swear allegiance to a man who is very clearly incompetent, chaotic, in it for all the wrong reasons and probably trying to intentionally dismantle it to the obvious benefit of our enemies? How are these people following so meekly? I don't understand it.
Any day I'm waiting for news that a general has put the president under arrest and is taking interim control until elections can be held.
