Pains me, too. As Vet AND otherwise. However, I believe this to be Clown talking points and POTUS is using Bongino as the conduit to our Uniformed Services telling them not to and reminding them of the consequences. ESPECIALLY the ones under the command of Bush and Hussein holdovers. Most of the military likes Bongino and considers him an ally.  Remember this: IF ANY ACTIVE DUTY, RESERVIST, OR GUARD MEMBER ACTIVELY MUTINIES AND FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH THIS TREASON, IT WILL BE UPPER LEVEL COMMANDERS THAT ARE APPOINTED HOLDOVERS FROM CLINTON, BUSH, AND HUSSEIN REGIMES. SAME FOR SENIOR ENLISTED, E-7 OR ABOVE, TOO. IF ANY JUNIOR ENLISTED MUTINY, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'LL FOLLOW THOSE UPPER LEVEL COMMANDERS AND SENIOR ENLISTED I LISTED ABOVE, OUT OF MISPLACED RESPECT, MISPLACED SENSE OF DUTY, OR DOWN RIGHT IGNORANCE OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS SITUATION. Some of them, IF this happens, "could" be subversive element sympathizers like Ft Hood's shooter, but the military does a damn good job at ferreting out those types early in their service. ESPECIALLY now.  We ALL know this to be true.  Mattis, Milley, and Esper were flushed out, and are now so scared of what's coming that they HAD (forced) to go public with their pleas for help. It's these particular guy's last chance at earning redemption from [them] for failing in their roles to bring down POTUS. Make no mistake about that. Bush activated the right wing subversive element, Hussein the Left wing element, and Killary  activated her feminazi and cartel minions.  The ONLY element left for [them] to activate are any sympathizers among our military. Mattis and Milley are fishing to see how many of [their] "dear old friends" may still be out there AND WILLING to participate in open mutiny and treasonous rebellion. [They] know they're gonna need a literal army to take on our military AND Patrioits. Mattis, in particular, knows more thsn the rest of [them] what are capabilities are and how dangerous 1 guerilla unit is, much less 10-15 million or more highly trained, highly patriotic  American  war fighters ready to go guerilla style on their asses. [They] need an army, supplies, troops, etc more than just Antifa soy bois, MS-13, or the cartels. They need tactical hardware. [They] need a general [Mattis] to lead [them] once the hot war starts. And I highly and seriously doubt there's many left, if any. Besides, it wouldn't matter. POTUS knows what [they] want and need. He knows [their] playbook, their weaknesses, their strengths, and that elitist arrogance is [their] greatest weakness. Arrogance that makes [them] dangerous, yes, but also very, very brash which leads to foolish and poorly thought out actions. Which is what we saw with Mattis, Milley, and Esper.  I also believe that PTOUS knows who those 3 closest military associates are, have already "discussed" this with them, and has directed them to stay put. And I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that the DOD has already addressed the mutiny aspect ad nauseam to all 4 branches plus the Space Force and Coasties.  IF a mutiny occurs, WE WILL KNOW it's time to gear up and go to war. And we will 100% find out through Q ahead of time in order to organize and mobilize.
