Prominent retired General and Flag Officers, especially from the Combat Arms/Warfighting Communities, should be establishing accountable relationships RIGHT NOW with Democratic governors (especially fighters like like Pritzker and Walz), so that if Chancellor Shitler successfully subverts democratic accountability at the polls and tries to consolidate permanent fascist rule in America, they are prepared to call those who have served under them in combat to bring their gear and fall in on them in "well-regulated militias," "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC" (emphasis added). You can't start "organizing, training, and equipping" against the Constitutional crisis ONLY ONCE IT IS UPON US, and the #ICEtapo, MAGA #brownshirts, and fascist #Sturmtrumpers are rampaging through our streets in an #AmericanKristallnacht, and the need to act is obvious and immediate. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace" --General George Washington https://crooksandliars.com/2026/08/skyrocketing-number-troops-want-out
