#2 The military is officially broken - and disobedient.

#3 One could think the military has gone native and is validating Taliban grievances.

#4 Expand the Navy, making the Marines the expeditionary force for the country, and downsize and restructure the active Army on the Swiss system. You are now grasping why the founders put their faith in the people and militia rather than a sustained large standing army to protect the regional security of country.

#5 ^That was when USA was a bunch of former colonies somewhere close to the end of the world. You're, planned or not, an empire now.

NOT speaking to the case but the general question of authority.

Any Legally issued Presidential Pardons issued per the US Constitution is legally binding and must be followed and may not be rescinded.

Doing so constitutes "Defying an Order" issued by the Commander In Chief. Under UCMJ normally they would have just flushed their careers and should be court-martialed on a slew of very serious charges. Even more serious than A-88, A92 issues.

As I said NORMALLY .
Right now... If Russia or China was to attack I am not sure our Upper Level Military Officers would react or going on Vacation in Hawaii.

#7 Pusillanimous REMFs that don't have half of their predecessor's worth. There is a Revolutionary War monument to Benedict Arnold's Boot, yes that Benedict Arnold, for his earlier service. Stripping all of the major's medals for that one action is [chicken manure] IMO.

#8 More Wokish virtue signaling from the brass. Do they think about anything else?
