and he called out the ones he said weren't loyal and they took them out and killed them?

I'm sure this will be nothing like that.

Not to the Constitution, though.

“I swear by God this holy oath, that I will render to Donald Trump, President of the United States and People, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, unconditional obedience, and that I am ready, as a brave soldier, to risk my life at any time for this oath.”


I expect this meeting will be followed by quite a few firings.

Trump needs military backing if he plans on not leaving the White House in 2029.

""I swear by God this holy oath
that I shall render unconditional obedience
to the Leader of the German Reich and people,
Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the armed forces,
and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared
to give my life for this oath."

It goes along perfectly with everything ole Pete has done. I would hope the generals would have a strategy.
