and specific post #5 points out. We can clean out the military of these so-called "rogue" elements. As far as all the "missing weapons"? We still outnumber them.

And for ANY military person or ex-military person to want to support the former loser-POTUS, I just don't understand. An Ashleigh Babbit to give up her life for the like of a fascist sexual predator, I just can't phantom the reasoning. The former-loser POTUS hated the military and disrespected us from the very beginning of his tenure as a loser-deranged POTUS. The Normandy Remembrance Day of 2020 sealed my total disdain for d. trump. He didn't want to be out in the rain?

I just hope the 'Seven Days in May' scenario stays just that, a film.
