What do you think will happen when this group of generals are gone per Trump’s plans and new ones are brought in? A lot of adverse outcomes. It takes time to build expertise in military operations. Just imagine for one minute being captain of a nuclear power submarine that is part of the USA Triad.
What happens when in this rotation Lieutenants become generals? The expertise of the military diminishes further and further as the officers become younger and younger. What happens when the top brass are all millennials with little recognition of the enemy such as Putin’s Cold War?
There is a learning curve and I am not just talking about book learning. There is a learning curve to know your enemy and their tactics. How much danger are your enlisted men in when the top brass has about as much knowledge about the enemy as them?
How is recruitment going? We all know the current status of the military is a volunteer force that wants to be there. What happens when enlisted people begin to realize under this DOD there is no career in the military in 20 years of service? What happens when recruitment numbers fall to very low levels? What are the preferences of Republicans when it comes to to recruitment? Do they prefer it or do they rather a mandatory service of all Americans?
Republicans want to raise every child in this country. Mothers are baby machines with little nurturing ability. Children aren’t really children soaking up a public education, they are youngins. They need a full course of military service out of high school in order to be a good American.
So what are the goals of the Trump White House for the greatest military in the world? A military with mandatory service for two years with minimal leadership, artificial intelligence as the Joint Chiefs, with no more 20 years retirement. As a matter of fact once Hegseth has completely dummied down the military the only soldier will be robots as they are the most reliable that take orders without question and never ask for a pay raise. Forget about the health care.
Republican ideology about anything is demented as Trump. Trump has had a stroke. He has also had a heart attack. Trump’s ideologies are as misguided as his business ventures. Do we want our military to fail? Then throw the numbs out and make the Republican majority in Congress do their jobs. Currently, House and Senate leaders have forgotten how to negotiate. It isn’t as though the Democrats have forgotten and are seeking noble changes to the continuing resolution; it’s just that no one else is sitting down to get the job done.
What is the answer to this?
Think about it.
