Bear in mind that he only really interfaces with the ultra high level people. The mid and low level officers haven't been purged and are at least fairly pragmatic on this kinda stuff. It's a massive convoluted organization and there are plenty of options for slow walking things, at least for a time.

The enlisted soldiers are much less likely to have college degrees and are more likely to be RWNJ true believers. That said trump/hegseth have done a truly amazing job at making them not want to die for this shit.

If someone wanted to try some shit, it would have to come down to how competently executed it was and my gut says (hopes?) the bar is getting high enough I don't think trump/hegseth have it in them.
