This is a weird thing to focus on given the military’s utter lack of merit. They just lost an unlosable war to Iran after all. This comes fresh off the back of losing to the even weaker Taliban. And so on.

Gee you anti-American malcontents just spin events and information into such word salads trying to paint a negative picture of our great administration is almost beyond belief. Your hatred of our President and his great administration knows no bounds. It’s really funny that you keep shouting misinformation into an abyss and no one is paying attention. Keep it up it will eventually lead you to the funny farm…..

As in any facist government, it is dependent on uniformity/comformity, loyalty to its leader, and most importantly its military which can be relied on to perform any action, no matter how perverse or immoral it might seem. Julius Caesar understood how political power relies on military force as did 20th century fascists. His proletarian guard became a model for Mussolini.

With regard to military appointments, I suspect what the administration has done is to make ineligible anyone who was on the “quota” track from higher appointments. This track has been enlarged and prioritized by both the Obama and Biden administrations. Truly worthy individuals regardless of their group memberships should be considered. If Trump has done more than this ie if women and minorities are excluded entirely, then that is dead wrong.

You suspect? What "quota tracks?"

If being "truly worthy" were a requirement for high level magaworld appointments ... Well, you know.
