21. Especially when kicking people out, or freezing promotions

Or just telling the troops "if you aren't a straight White Xtian Male, you're a DEI hire and ain't worth shit..."
Not to mention rushing deployments while putting maintenance and training funding on the back burner.
It's all a Science Fiction or action flick to MAGA "leadership".
To MAGA leadership, Equipment doesn't need care and maintenance. It's always up when you turn it on. Guns and launchers don't run out of bullets or missiles.
Any time of the day or night, whether or not they've eaten that day, soldiers are expected to jump up, grab their rifles, and expertly take out the invading, screamin horde - except for the obligatory "red shirts" who are supposed to neatly fall down dead or shot in the arm or leg -
- all according to the script playing out in the gap between the average authoritarian idiot's ears.

B-52s shouldn't ever crash on take-off in a non-hostile area.
