   Tell me I’m wrong. This is going to render the military ineffective and incompetent, leaving only the idiots in charge. (I’m not wrong)

     Aren’t generals Senate-confirmed?

     Warner, sit down and have a nice cup of coffee. Take in the aroma! There's nothing that you can do about the rest!

     @WarnerCrocker the guy giving the order is immune, the guy executing the order is still liable to prosecution. A thoughtful general officer would bring a lawyer and a sidearm to a meeting he was concerned about. The lawyer to tell him whether he’s legally exposed and the sidearm in case after he said no it was illegal the guy asked somebody else to do it making him an accessory.

     @cynblogger Easy to do. Old (248 years worth) habits die hard.

     @WarnerCrocker How does wannabe-Hitler get the “Hitler’s generals” he wants? By appointing MAGA yes-men to senior posts in the military.

     Republicans in Congress will do nothing to stop this. I really hope the military leadership has ways to fight back against politicization of the military.

     @WarnerCrocker It's going to take a loooong time to turn the US back to some kind of sanity. If it ever happens, that is.
     Personally I'm not too optimistic...
