So the military is going to continue to provide abortions regardless of the SCROTAL ruling. The Commander & Chief, head of the military, has basically thrown up his hands and said they have no plans to do anything about it. The military is acting without the chain of command.
One step closer to the military retiring a president and taking over themselves.
I think the libs would be fine if the military took over after Biden's term in 2024. Let Tired Old Joe have his fun. It's his term. But later the libs would be shocked (Shocked!) when the Pentagon and the GOP run things together.
This was something talked about under Trump around the election. The military came out and said that there would be a peaceful transition of power. Implying that they would step in if Trump decided to go off the rails. As the culture war shit heats up more and more, the military still has to contend with practical concerns. They need women in the military because they need as many people as they can get due to dwindling enlistments. They can't have soldiers dropping out due to pregnancy. Of course they have to continue abortions regardless of ideology. So they can't tolerate the actions of fash on this issue, even if they agree with it. They have to step up and take matters into their own hands because the ideology is making a mess.
Both parties would love military leaders. They both wank over the military. They love competence porn. They both feel the military is on their side. As more crises unfold and the typical party political solutions do nothing or just make huge mess, there will be some demand for an "adult in the room" to take over.
The real bad part is if we transition to a military-ran state and then the fascists purge the military, replacing them with their own people.

That would be on brand for the dems...
"The Pentagon is taking over! We are moving out of the frying pan! I repeat - we are moving out of the frying pan!..."
And right into the fire.
Turns out political power grows out of the barrel of a gun :shocked-pikachu:
bloomer moment imagining Subcomandante Marcos being promoted to General of the Armies of the US :nicholson-yes:
Or they just have one of their own run for President. Wouldn't be the first time a current military official became president.
Wasn't Eisenhower pretty much the last president who was overall competent? Maybe that's a bit too broad of a statement to mean anything
It depends on what you're measuring the presidents on. Those in power would probably say Obama was very much a competent president.
He did warn us about the Military–industrial complex
Just as much of a ghoul as the rest of them, but seemed like he actually had a brain somewhere in there
Could... could it be worse?
