    I agree that they’re trying to find those that will refuse an unlawful or unconstitutional order.

    Is it a bit weird that Hegseth kinda already did this though?

    I have no idea how the military works.

    I’m imagining a conference full of the top brass. They mostly know each other or “of” each other in a loose network. They would already know why they’ve been summoned and where they stand, but also a fair guess as to where the group splits on this issue.

      I also dont know much about how it works, but I do know the military isn’t all MAGA. He’s tried to get rid of people all throughout the government if they show signs of disloyal. He’s reached into areas the president never has before, and this might be the next. I wonder how a general reacts to that.
