At least six soldiers are planning to file for preliminary religious exemptions, a nonprofit leader told The Sun. More are expected to follow.

    Meanwhile, sentenced is in favour of it on religious grounds, claiming it will be martyrdom.

    To be clear, they'll find a handful of zealots no problem. The important facet here is that Hegseth doesn't seem to be endearing himself to the military. A lot of the low level enlisted guys are already wary of him and they are his shooters if he tries to start a coup.

    I often wonder how many are loyal and how many aren't. And the high ranking leadership who were removed en masse ; where did they go? Are there pockets of officers still loyal to the disposed of leadership? Are there organized groups of soldiers within the branches who are ready to follow orders against their own government?

    Internal Pentagon politics must be wild right now. The external ones sure are.

    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.

    It's a firing squad so no single person has to carry the burden.

    With it being live streamed, they won't be anonymous (unless precautions are taken) and they will all share blame in front of an audience of probably millions.

    This execution will probably feature ads, which will encourage bribable judges to sentence more to the squad.

    Shit show.

    Call me hopeful but I doubt there will be any big ads. Probably just low level shitty conservative branded companies

    It could go two ways. Trump wasn't originally a threat, nor was his corrupted cucknest of cronies. So the way I see it, the few that advertise get medals of honor and billy bob buys his bacon from them for the rest of his short life... or nobody does and it's too late anyway.

    The only solution is for the majority to carry trump to Boston harbor, throw him in. Fish him out with his soggy diaper and haul him off to an uncorrupted court to judge him and his gaggle of garglefuks into the justices that THEY deserve.

    Idiocracy isn't a documentary, it's definitely a satire. President Comacho listened to the advice of "not a dumb fuck"

    We aren't in Running Man territory..yet. But this scenario can lead to either.

    "Choose the Dilldozer or firing squad.. and run! Oh wait, he got the buff from one of the randomly selected rounds of ammunition! He's turbo-mode!!! Now here's a word from our Lord and Savior/Sponsors.!!!"
