#2
Given too many, DOD Leadership quickly sided with the Biden Perversion and Citizen rights violations just to keep their jobs. Verses following their Sworn Oath to protect the US and follow the US Constitution.

I agree a review needs to be done.
BUT !! Extreme care must be taken to avoid a Witch Hunt type purge.

#4 Not sure how true this is but there are 44 Four Star Generals. During WWII there were 7… and we won that war.

#7 I like it. We are far to top heavy when it comes to senior officers.

#8 Wholeheartedly agree w/Comment #2; this could devolve into a purity test. Perhaps a cap on numbers and attrition will reduce the flag ranks.
Q: wasn’t something similar done by Germany?

#11 The generals that ran their mouths weren't just following orders. Let them to be the first to get fired. The rest can be reviewed.
Recall Milley to active duty and court martial him for treason. Same for the officers who refused orders to reduce number in Syria.

#12 Start with the commanders of all of the military service academies. They've forgotten what their first duty is. The rest of the military needs to be reminded: First order of business is to "Support and defend the Constitution of the United States and bear true faith and allegiance to the same". EVERYTHING else is secondary. Those who cannot comply need to find a new job.

#13 Obama purged the flag ranks and did purity tests already. Purge them again until you get to folks with combat experience. For the Navy, you may have to reactivate folks that should not have been purged.

#14 "Witch Hunt type purge"

What did Obama do?
What do commies do?
Do you expect them to treat us any better?
We need to stop tolerating home grown communism.
So pardon me when I say this, but
Marxism wont be defeated with vagina tactics.

It's a way to keep Deep Staters from unduly influencing key decisions. They are everywhere.
