#2 As you tossing out the DEI teams, install some Civics Teams that open the brave new world to many about those things called the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, given how they have sworn to the latter.

Speaking of purges, start with the academies.

#4 Several points:
1. When I was in the Navy, I was told that EVERY officer serves at the pleasure of the President. So Trump should have no problem getting rid of anybody. These people are not civil servants.
2. Many years ago, I heard Rush Limbaugh say "The purpose of a military force is to kill people and break things." It is not a social welfare program, or anything like DEI. It should be based solely on merit, not meeting some artificial goals.

#5 Trump sent him so he wont have to fire the generals, they will quit. He was sent as an ethics lightning rod. The generals will have to either sign up to support him or not, driving Trump thanking them for their service and letting them go. This will be fun watch the 4 stars call him sir...

#6 "Clean out the Augean stables at the bloated, woke-addled Pentagon." Best of luck to you Pete. May you go with God.

#7 Trump should 'turn the knife' in the Generals by wearing 5 stars somewhere on his suit!
