This guy might just have gotten himself in trouble with the military, since retirees could still be subject to the UCMJ. Officers in particular aren’t supposed to be talking like that.

Isn’t this at the very least sedition under the Sedition Act?

Looking at Trump’s twitter stream as a drip feed of his own, even more poorly written (which is saying something) Mein Kampf is helpful, I think.

You missed my joke. It implies that every day is punch a Nazi day when you suddenly announce that “today is punch a Nazi day.” Why yes, yes it is… Because every day is that day. But if it needs to be spelled out for ya… Be my guest and spell it out…

Nor is Trump. They are in their 60s and 70s, respectively. Definitely not a “these kids today…” problem.
Nor are the young people of today the ones most enthusiastically condoning or emulating Trump’s behavior. Trumpists tend to be older than progressives, not younger.

(He grew up around here, and was part of the local surfing scene. He has a brother, who is also a general. His mother Helen, since passed - and thankfully before he was disgraced, was my realtor once upon a time. His home was a few hundred yards from Tucker Carlson’s boarding school. I try to not think about him being on the same waters as I am on, as it actively detracts from the experience.)

Former general/convicted felon Mike Flynn calls for military to keep Trump in power.
Military’s reaction is probably something to the effect of this
