Senior Pentagon correspondent: 'I've never seen anything like this in my past 30 years of reporting on the U.S. military. We might be going to war.'
@elston_ maybe they are finally going to dismantle their worldwide net of military bases to cut down spending?
If it results in "forced retirement" of the top brass (some of them "woke") and they're going to be shortly promoting lower ranks still on foreign bases to new and higher ranks of authority, then maybe it makes sense.
@elston_ @TruckDriver could be. obama did the same thing when he replaced most of top ranks with woookies. but he was slow-rolling it..though trump does not have a third term he could serve so he might need to move fast.
