Three Things

1. Fox pundit turned Secretary of Defense War Pete Hegseth summons all top level brass to DC for a pep talk.

2. Hegseth announces that the Medals of Honor awarded to combatants in the 1890 massacre of Lakota women and children at Wounded Knee would stand. (The previous SecDef had ordered a review after years of controversy.)  Hegseth called the recipients "brave soldiers."

3. Dear Leader announces that he is sending troops to "War ravaged" Portland, Oregon, authorizing "Full Force, if necessary." (The mayor  and the governor oppose this characterization and action.)

Is this a setup for a coup?

 If protests against ICE are acts of war, what about any other protests? If Dear Leader can declare war on anything he dislikes, how big a step to martial law and no elections?

And if the military is assured that, however heinous and immoral the orders they are given, they will be rewarded for following them, will we see more massacres of innocents?  

And will that "pep talk to the generals and admirals include a loyalty oath to Dear Leader? Hitler called his top brass together for such a purpose. 

Three things. How are they related?
