This thread brought me to a new thought. As with most essential parts of our government, maybe he is trying to push for privatizing the military. By firing top positions without reappointment and cancelling or delaying payment to labor, they create a volatile work environment. Spending increases on military does not go to our servicemen. Now attacking the people who want to serve is making their jobs near as unsafe as the frontline. This they hope will lead to low recruitment and retention, resulting in a need to hire more contractors.

As the old saying goes. A plane crash returning from a furry convention would put the software and cybersecurity industries back decades.

Also, basically every other role that's not basic infantry... including spec-ops who are allowed to have beards to operate clandestinely.

He didnt say no furries although seems like the FBI is trying to attract them (and not knowing what a furry is)

Oh I bet he has a response to that: "AI!" - poof problem solved. 'Murica's safe.

Ugh I wish I was joking.

hes kicking 20% of the top brass out too, all for putins benefit.
