“Checking out this podcast, I picked a 2017 episode called NothingNew Under the Sun-Trump Era. Two white academics tiptoeing around Trump’s shockingly deleterious effect on domestic military policy, predating the total deterioration of Constitutional principals as applied to control of citizen demonstrations...pretty hilarious to listen to now. Interesting parallels to Nazi Germany’s “I was only following orders”, now being used to justify using helos in DC to intimidate street protestors, and soldiers ripping off their ID insignias so as to operate with impunity against the citizenry. Somebody told those guys to do that, and nobody said no. This is a real command issue that you need to discuss.
This podcast needs to step on up to the present time, invite some minority academics (and regular people) into the discussion, and get out of the military training bubble. Now’s the time...blue haircuts are waaaaay down on the Constitutional crisis we’re facing, guys.”
