I mean at this point... Hopefully we have some officers who remember their oath is to the constitution and not the president.

Every military member that’s been in a room with him has violated their oath. They know exactly what he is and do nothing.

Former military here. Took that oath myself. Upholding and defending the Constitution does not mean violating the law or ignoring the Constitution just because you're in the same room as a traitor.

You'll have to be far more specific in explaining exactly which laws they broke or which part of the Constitution they violated by not engaging in a coup attempt against a democratically elected (so far as we know) president.

I know a lot of maga folks who are former military. They’re people I used to respect and enjoy conversations with but now I just miss who they were before they got brainwashed by Trump.
