The order could place the military under the president’s total command, like never before.

Yeah. So the ones who don’t fall in line will get kicked out. The military is a place about compliance. There are ways to segment the rules and compartmentalize for folks like that.

History seems to suggest a slightly different story for this.

Once given the command; people will mostly fall in line, almost fully once consequences get serious.

There doesn’t need to be massive brilliant strategists to cause massive damage and maximum death. Minimizing death and surgical strikes are where skill and intelligence are needed.

I fear you underestimate the size and effectiveness of the technology the US military has been amassing on the taxpayer dime.

A mostly crippled russian military in Ukraine is still steamrolling and pushing people around blusteringly.

Yet they struck Kyiv, ~2 hours ago as of this post, to limited effect.

putin’s country has arguably experienced a massive ‘brain drain’.

So in effect, your opinion seems to be… “I think this will weaken the US military capability.”; "I prefer more suffering to less suffering because screw other people, even innocents. "

You’re putting yourself in the same intellectual bucket as those who wish ill upon you.

What are you in favor of sadist?

Yeah I’m not saying Trump being in control is a good thing. Like I said: It’s a slightly contrarian silver lining more than a serious take.

I fear you underestimate the intensity of the heat you welcome upon us all.

I wouldn’t wish this result on anyone.

This will set all of humanity back. Do you think we all deserve to marry 9 year old girls as property?

What’s your logic for holding this hate?

Do you want people to say “screw you as well”?

I’m not hating anyone or wishing anything upon anyone. What I’m saying is this: The US military will likely be a less effective fighting force in 2028. I’m not saying I’m happy Trump has control of the military that’s fucked up.
