(another) verse same as the first: Retired military break protocols to be Drumpf *zombies*

O.K., we know that the military is supposed to be *a*political while on active duty and not to exercise some civil liberties and be OWNED by the country NOT by partisan entities - but that after INactive status (veterans) are free to regain personal liberties. But also after becoming civilians NOT to use para-military uniforms and paraphernalia to give credence to their views. I still remember the dozen or so Medal of Honor decorated old dudes standing on George W. Shrub's political stage during the Coup-2000, in their full uniforms and medals, endorsing Shrub for the cameras. And the "service organizations" are nothing if not political with their caps and badges hosting and preferring candidates.

Anyway, so these 120 "generals and admirals" of some outfit called "Flag Officers 4 America" or " (some other nutcase outfit) " are shooting off their crap loving Drumpf. Well, below that are 200 other ones who *endorsed* BIDEN in the past campaign. And there are some 4 or more thousand total retired generals and admirals, so that works out to 0.05% of the ones shooting off their mouths.

The uniform ain't supposed to be used for partisan stuff, ain't supposed to be used for discharged status, blow me retired admirals and generals.

I suspect that a lot of retired senior leaders would be okay with a fascist state as long as they are on the winning side.

But, if they really think about it, even if you choose the winning side, that is not a guarantee of longevity because fearless leader might decide that at some point in the future, you might become a threat.

Remember, the ‘Night of the Long Knives’.

If you read the mission page at their website it almost looks as if the 3%ers are reorganizing under that name. This letter is also the only release or press release on their website. Looks like it was recently put up.
