If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't do things like shoot American protesters.
He fears a military coup d'état. Forcing kangaroo courts martial, where some officers are required to try other officers unjustly, will give him a good indication of which officers are loyal to him personally and which are loyal to the Constitution and military traditions.
