I can see this morphing into something really bad. Throwing in buzz words like, "Isis," and, "Al Qaeda," here to get MAGAts riled up, and accepting of Nazi rule. Talking about protecting the, "homeland," against imaginary internal terrorists sounds much too familiar.

I would say if military officials continue to be unconvinced and resistant they will be fired.

Its sickening to see how quickly our country has sailed off the edge of the world.
