Military Brass Holding ‘Informal Discussions’ on How to Override Trump 47’s Orders

According to CNN reports, Pentagon brass met recently to discuss and plan how to override President Trump’s 47 orders.

This smells like treason.

The military-industrial complex is infuriated that the first president in 40 years who did not start a war while in office has returned to power.

This latest report that the failed Pentagon brass who surrendered to the illiterate Taliban barbarians, donated billions of dollars in US weapons, and abandoned Bagram Air Force Base, are plotting against Trump 47 is not a complete surprise.

Far-left CNN reported:

Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically and fire large swaths of apolitical staffers, defense officials told CNN…

…Trump in his last term had a fraught relationship with much of his senior military leadership, including now-retired Gen. Mark Milley who took steps to limit Trump’s ability to use nuclear weapons while he was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The president-elect, meanwhile, has repeatedly called US military generals “woke,” “weak” and “ineffective leaders.”

Officials are now gaming out various scenarios as they prepare for an overhaul of the Pentagon.

“We are all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is that we don’t know how this is going to play out yet,” one defense official said.

Yes, you are correct. The United States Constitution defines treason very narrowly in this country. But the UCMJ certainly covers disobedience to one's commander. Article 92 contains severe penalties, including up to 2 years in military prison, punitive discharge, and loss of all pension. Surely that should give a general officer sufficient incentive to obey the Commander-in-chief. Yes?
That would be the way to go and even military lawyers would know that and recommend that as it would be easier to prosecute. But seabag lawyers in many barracks around the world only know treason and the full penalty of death and want to see that happen. They don't realize a loss of pension for a general will hurt more in the long run than death would. If they would prosecute Milley for those UCMJ charges and succeed I think that would suffice not only to bring justice but also be a means to show others to be careful and think through what they might do before acting on their emotions. I do think Milley acted on his emotions as well as on what ever skeletons of his past globalist have over him.
 
Yeah I never got the idea of those challenge coins.

I don't have any negative thoughts about them. They can help with camaraderie a bit... Unit cohesiveness. I'd hate to ever be actually challenged. While i have no respect for Milley I respect very much the consideration he showed in giving me one of his coins. I still have it somewhere. I just toss them in a drawer that I rarely look for anything in. I have one challenge coin on my dresser for a group I'm active with locally. I'll put it in my pocket before going to some functions.

You and I are similar. I have only one coin I cherish because it was designed by a man I knew well and respected and given to me by another I still know well as it was the first one issued and he gave that one to me not some other. Other wise I have a few more that I care less about. Other wise that seems to be more and Army thing than a Marine thing. Marine things are what today is for since to day is the Marine Corp birthday 249 years old.

I have a few dozen coins in a box somehwere. I was not big on handing them out, but it came with my last job in the Marines.

I do have a coin from the NY stock exchange. During fleet week, the senior military there for fleet week got to walk the floor, and we rang the buzzer at the days closing of the exchange.

My Corps years were pre 9/11 when many changes came to the Corps such as wearing names on tabs on the battle uniforms. In my day our names were put inside the collars of our blouses in the back inside of the waste band of our trousers. It was also a time when coins were only an Army thing.

I found it sad that the Marine Corps gave in to some Army general because he could not see some LCpl's name. We never needed to see a name to address another Marine as we used the rank and that was sufficient. If I was walking down the street as a Sgt and saw some PFC without a cover or some other out of uniform mess up all I had to do was call out PFC and that was enough. Sometimes I did not even have to use a rank only say straighten that cover Marine and it was more than enough.

I am glad I got out before the Corps gave in to the Army on such nonsense.

At least MC didn't adopt the Navy name tags on the back of the trousers :lol:

I entered the Marines in 1978
 
I entered the Marines in 1978
By that time I was almost half way through my time. When I went in we were issued the old OD green fatigues and tan garrison trouser and slit covers. I never had a name tag on any uniform from the fatigues to the Class A's at least not on the chest. We wore our rank insignia on our lapels USMC emblem on the left breast pocket and we were good to go save having every piece of uniform save our socks labeled with our name and that included our skivvies and t-shirts as well as all uniform trousers and blouses. The first time I saw a Marine in battle dress the have name tags sewed on and I asked when the started that. That was when I was told by the Gunny I was talking to how it came to pass as he was in Iraq when all that came down and all of the Corps was ordered to have the name tags sewn on. When I went into the Army Reserves in the mid 90's it did not bother me because it was a long standing practice already. I just hated seeing the Corps forced to do something because some whinny general from the Army did know how to deal with Marines. I am sure he had dealt with Marine Officers in his career when they did not wear visible name tags on the front. I am thinking he was just pushing his weight around.

Anyway I went in starting Jan 15, 1975.

I could have entered in 75, but I was still heavy partying, like an unsaved 18 year old.*maisey*
 
At first, I did not like the name tags on cammies, but after getting use to it, I thought it was excellent. Made it much easier to remember by name who to yell at later that day….:)

One day, all us "enlisted scum" in one particular unit wore name tags MUSHROOM. We were always kept in the dark and fed

Very counterproductive to real-world mission and horrible for morale.

The officer got the message, and things were a lot better after that. Don't know why he didn't listen to the Det NCO when he previously found the Jeep inside his office one morning :lol:

I know the type well. I was never good with drugs and booze as my body does not process it well and it stays on for so long. I was tired of clerking jobs and decided time see the world and make better money than I was at some gas station. If I had been of the party crowd type I probably would have never joined up at all. The only reason why I chose the Corps was because my family had covered every other branch from USAAF, Army USAF and Navy. The only thing left was the Corps so I chose that one and I am glad I did because while I say I served, in truth, I played the whole time. I mean I doubt I could have recommended myself twice for meritorious promotion, I doubt I would have gone head to head with and arrogant Lt. and win to the point he was eventually forced out of the Corps. It only got better in the Army Reserves because I was the age of senior enlisted but a lowly E4 so no one expected much out of me and as such I could get away with doing things that no E4 in the Army would consider doing, all legal of course, well almost all legal. As a reservist I should not been able to fly outside the US Space A but I did a number of times and on one occasion arriving in civilian clothes to meet an old friend of mine going for his retirement and was an E8 a that time I had a female Marine Capt falling over backwards to bring me coffee, carry my bag and a SSGT by her side doing the same. I am sure they thought I was some retired high ranking officer but little did they know I was a lowly Army Specialist. It was a lot of fun. Once in Tokyo getting a room at the New Sano Hotel I was next to an AF Col. He was with his wife and two kids I was with my wife and two kids and we got rooms across the same hall. His cost was 3 times mine for bascially the same room. One time that rank had its privileges for the low end of the spectrum.
