'Secretary Esper buckling to Donald Trumps pressure and reversing the decision to send troops home from Washington, DC shows that he does not have the mettle nor the moral bearing to head the department.
We will not sit idly by and watch the institution we love, and the men and women who serve in it, continue to be turned into a politicized force for a wannabe tinpot dictator.
If youre with us, add your name to the petition to demand Secretary Esper resign immediately.
From the start of his tenure, it was clear that Secretary Esper was only chosen to be the anti-Mattis someone who would be a weak yes-man to Donald Trump.
This week active-duty troops were moved into Washington DC, but Secretary Esper had given them the order to return back to their home base. He suddenly reversed that decision this afternoon, when news broke that his job might be in jeopardy.
Todays decision to buckle to Donald Trumps pressure and reverse the decision to send troops home from Washington, DC shows that he does not have the mettle nor the moral bearing to head the department.
Time and again, Secretary Esper has shown himself all too willing to enable every worst instinct of Donald Trump. And today is the final straw.
We will not sit idly by and watch the institution we love, and the men and women who serve in it, continue to be turned into a politicized force for a wannabe tinpot dictator.
If youre with us, add your name to the petition to demand Secretary Esper resign immediately.'

Trump will ignore all of them. He doesn't give a shit & is dead set on completing his mission of turning the USA into a totalitarian state.
The Constitution means absolutely nothing to him.
It will take these Military forces to step up & force him to surrender, in the name of the United States of America.
No one else has the power to do so.
