Are they severely injured and being treated in a military hospital?

This looks like another ready, fire, aim Trump operation. Who's in charge? What are they in charge of? Is there a playbook and if so, where is it? Are Americans on the ground running the show or are they leaderless right now? What a mess!

This country will be unrecognizable in a year. Stopping tsf and his cabal is going to be a Lincoln-esque task for patriots with existing power. I can't believe I'm still optimistic about that happening. Maybe because the option is unimaginable.
