...6 top-level military officers, as I recall.
We look to be well into the military stage of this autocracy, and most still serving in the top ranks either agree with it all, or appear to be doing next to nothing to stop it.
Btw, we did see some 60k leave the Pentagon this year.
I get that masses of military officers resigning would enable Trump to replace them, but with two cites already invaded, I'm having a hard time imagining the replacements would be much worse.
I'd think a stunning move like a mass resignation of officers would not only send a strong message to the nation, but would set the tone for whatever came next.
I'm concerned with the way we seem to be advancing toward oppression with many of our country folks already feeling the weight and power of the federal government crushing them, advantaged by these armed forces serving today, and many others not yet directly or otherwise affected tending to be more sanguine, supposing the future is the concern, instead of the danger now.
How will we know who in the military is defending our democracy as they're still instruments of it?
