      And the Sec. of Defense, and the person overseeing the nuclear Arsenal.

      Maybe I’m paranoid AF, but this seems like power consolidating to me. His militia followers are itching to go out and “kill commies”.

          I'm calmed by the fact that Esper wanted to quit anyway and Trump is a petty bitch.

          Also the troops seem to like Biden and also I'd guess most of them don't want to murder their fellow Americans.

              I don't mean that the army won't do a massacre, I just think that any large scale action would lead to a lot of defections and fragging.
