The Christian Science Monitor<p>President Donald Trump’s dismissal of top military leaders raises questions about his expanding influence and whether loyalty tests determine who directs America’s armed forces. <a href="https://flipboard.com/tag/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.com/tag/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>military</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.com/tag/loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loyalty</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Military/2025/0318/trump-military-generals-politics?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_medium=activitypub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">csmonitor.com/USA/Military/202</span><span class="invisible">5/0318/trump-military-generals-politics?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_medium=activitypub </span></a></p><p>Posted into The American Story <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@csmonitor/the-american-story-u1nco3brz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>the-american-story-csmonitor</span></a></span></p>
Ms. Que Banh<p>Please take some time to send a strong message about how invading our home was WRONG.<br>After I repeatedly told them everyone coming in MUST mask up because Dad had zero immunity &amp; me &amp; Mom are immunological compromised. My Dad was dying &amp; that fucker chose to use ego/power of authority to abuse &amp; traumatize my entire family. My Dad died with cops as one of his last living memories. I won't EVER forgive anyone who let that happen. My Dad had police traumas stemming back to his young adult years as a political university student activist in Saigon. He faced many brutal &amp; violent police inflicted tortures. He still refused to stop fighting for what is right.</p><p>Reference date: June 8, 2023.</p><p>I take after my Dad. I will continue to fight for him &amp; our family, even if people stop supporting us.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Family" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Family</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Loyalty</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Injustices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Injustices</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliceAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceAbuse</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PleaseHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PleaseHelp</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>“…It pains me to see these fine people being treated so unfairly &amp;, for the first time in my career, to see dedicated, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/apolitical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apolitical</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>military</span></a> professionals being removed w/o cause. I am worried about political <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loyalty</span></a> becoming a criterion…. For now, I have confidence that our professional military has nurtured dozens of highly qualified senior officers capable of holding positions of trust &amp; responsibility,…who can provide leadership…&amp; offer sound military advice to our civilian leaders.”</p>
Nonilex<p>An eerily reminiscent scene played out late last year at Mar-a-Lago, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s Winter Palace, where <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenMiller</span></a>, one of Trump’s <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loyalty</span></a> enforcers, met w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a>’s CEO, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/MarkZuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarkZuckerberg</span></a>. The weather was more pleasant, &amp; presumably neither party contemplated defenestration as a settlement alternative, but many other details seemed to echo. “Mr. Miller told Mr. Zuckerberg that he had an opportunity to help reform America, but it would be on President-elect Donald J. Trump’s terms,” NYT reported.</p>
