Trump at War with the Military? Civil-Military Conflict in the U.S. (G&R 42

This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump ranted to the assembled leadership of the U.S. armed forces about fitness, wokeness and the "war within." Hegseth told the generals and admirals that they were too fat, while low energy Trump gave a rambling speech about many things that included using American cities a "training grounds" for military operations. The brass didn't seem amused. In our latest, we give a history of military dissent and civilian-military relations from the Vietnam War era to the Iraq war and talk about Generals David Shoup, Anthony Zinni and Eric Shinseki. We also get into the politics of Trum, Hegseth and today's Pentagon. ——🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody🔗 Links🎙️ G&R: The Defense Department wasn’t Woke, It was an Agent for Empire and Repression (https://bit.ly/4gtj71hz0🎙️ G&R: Breaking Ranks?
