but to weed out ANY command staff that would refuse an order from Trump, legal or not.

His ridiculous Sec Def will try to create a combo German Army / SS. So that they would be willing to shoot demonstrators. Remember Trump wanted to do that to demonstrators in Lafayette Park, but the generals would not order it ( Mark Milley ? ).

Trump was "shoot them in the legs"... and of course it would have killed dozens because they fall down when shot... the next bullet will shoot them in the head. Not to mention that the impact from high powered rifle shots can simply kill you from the shock or hitting a major artery. Of course Stephen Miller would be on Faux news right away saying well they shouldn't demonstrate against our dear leader. The order was lawful. It was a shame that 200 people died.

I do remember that demonstration when protesters and church staff were gassed to clear the way for TFG to hold a photo op, holding a Bible upside down, in front of the church across from the White House. And I was also watching when MSNBC's Ali Velshi was shot in the leg by a rubber bullet and he and his staff were tear gassed while covering another protest in Minneapolis. Looks like that was only the beginning...
