Former defense chiefs denounce Trump’s ‘reckless’ Pentagon firings

Jim Mattis and four other former defense secretaries called President Donald Trump’s ouster of Gen. CQ Brown and other top officers dangerous and unjustified.

I wonder how the discussions about what "uphold and defend the Constitution" means in practice are going among US military officers.

It's probably obvious to them that such conversations would be monitored if conducted online.

Which fits with the apparent absence of such conversations between military on Mastodon at least.
