Not even just that, they couldn’t have prevented it if they wanted to. The person who would have prevented it would have been fired and replaced with a stooge once Hegseth’s men told him to shut up and he refused.

Lots of ‘Citizen Soldiers’ taken from their full time careers and family, at the (yuge) expense of tax payers, for no reason.

Why’s he actively picking fights here, and stirring the pot? To further excite the populous to open ‘rebellion’, and to ‘justify’ martial law.

Once he’s POTUS For Life, and has declared himself King, his lands will be nationalized and become tax payer funded.

Not always, he chickens out when the cost of doing something is less more* (edit: can’t believe I missed that one) than the gain. For this? Invoking total control of the US to crush dissent and his political opponents, and to push his agenda and further strip the US to the bone? Very likely worth it.
