I couldn't agree more with this.
Like I said, purges based on ideology... not warfighting competence.
There was a phrase in the USSR under Stalin.
How are you serving, comrade?
I serve the working people!
People were purged for failing to answer that with sufficient loyalty.
I guess the new oath is now:
How are you serving Trump?
I serve him with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my soul!
And failure to answer with sufficient loyalty is grounds for immediate dismissal (for now).
