The president vs the Army - 02/22/24
Read this BS. Implying that Donald Trump is the bad guy and he's going to get us into the next war. The war between the president and the Army. Basically, what they are afraid of is that he will do to them what they have been doing to him. I hope Donald bends them over and breaks it off in their a$$.

Prepare for the battle between the President and the US Army
Opinion by Phil Tinline • 10h
American democracy is in dire peril. Enraged at the establishment’s cowardly response to external threats, a megalomaniac demagogue rides a wave of popular support, appearing before a series of fervently attended political rallies. He threatens to oust an old, sickly, unpopular president, and seize power. Once in control, he clearly means to rule as a strongman.
Sixty years have passed since movie audiences first got to see this scenario played out in the Hollywood thriller Seven Days in May, which starred Burt Lancaster as a mutinous general, and Kirk Douglas as the officer who thwarts his would-be coup. Today, as fears intensify about what Donald Trump plans to do if he recaptures the presidency, the anniversary is a reminder that the nightmare of American dictatorship did not begin with Trump, or the attack on the Capitol. The fear goes all the way back to the Declaration of Independence, which warned of the ‘absolute Tyranny’ that George III was supposedly plotting to impose on the colonists. Such spectres have haunted America ever since.
Seven Days in May was based on a novel by two political journalists, written to dramatise the creeping fear of the early 1960s that elements in the military posed a serious threat to American democracy. President Eisenhower left office in 1961, warning of the “unwarranted influence” of the military-industrial complex: the “potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power” could, he said, “endanger our liberties”. The generals bitterly resented the new President Kennedy’s assertion of control over spending, strategy and troop indoctrination.
