If you had an american General whos name was known and loved by serviceman and civilan alike, I would think a Nappy was in the coming.

Yeah we don't have anyone like that. Perhaps a coalition tho.
I do belive Trumps job was to play Nixon mk II.
Nixon played the mad man very well. It scared the crap out of the russians, and they never recovered from what he was able to pull them into.
Man man strategy for the 2010s would be The Retarded Man strategy.
@Maw, you just advanced to level 7!
It is also easy to burn paper.
It burns at Fahrenheit 451.
Whoa...
I'm glad I had to re-read that book in college technical writing classes.
It made more sense when I was a bit more mature.
I meant he was going to fire disloyal generals in order to facilitate his own seizure of power btw.
I don't believe he has any authority to fire people not in the executive branch.
He can fire generals all day long, I think.
They don't really have much authority over the military.
JCS has more authority.
But it still isn't much.
Well he can have his people there do it...but I still think he can. Google time.
Congress has the general control over the military.
Pretty sure.
Not the president.
First one on the google search. Duke U.
Rather, some jurispundit published by Duke.
And if there is any question about his supreme authority, we could expect him to not try, of course.
No pattern of behavior or direct proclamation to the contrary or anything. Lol
Unfortunately the presidency does come with a lot of powers these days, which has been the slow degradation of the constitution over time.
But they are still restricted as to what they can do with the military.
For good reason, obviously.
They intentionally wanted the military to remain a-political.
He would never try something so brash anyway. It's not in his character.
By the time anyone could rule on it, it could be game over.
The degradation has been going strong and the garnering of more and more presidential power has been happening since roughly Lincoln I think.
When he suspended habeas corpus.
Bill Barr is about a extreme as it gets, in regard to presidential power. Like, frighteningly so. It's not even a secret.
