    Yep that’s a whole other element that isn’t talked about enough:

    Trump and Hegseth executed what I can only describe as a ‘Stalin-esque’ purge of officers, prior to this all starting.

    Now they weren’t literally executed or sent to gulags, but they’re not part of the military anymore.

    … this cripples your military’s ability to do stuff that you, beforehand, probably would have just taken for granted as things that it can do. The kind of stuff that you normally don’t notice, because you only notice it when it isn’t being done correctly.

    Fucking idiots.
