Can anyone really believe that the generals trump has loaded up his government with could be a " voice of reason " within this fucked up regime ? Why, of course they could. He got voted in didn't he ? Some people actually think that trump is some sort of " rebel " against liberal " fascists " . These are fucked up times, indeed.
Reality Check:
The Generals Are Not the “Grown Ups” Who Will Check Trump; They Are His Enforcers

The Trump/Pence regime has loaded up its cabinet with generals. Some now claim these generals will be a “voice of reason” within the regime—the “grown-ups” who can be a check on Trump’s wilder ambitions.
Just the opposite. They are a critical piece of the juggernaut, essential to Trump’s wildest ambitions.
First: they are all proven cold-blooded war criminals. They all have records of violently enforcing the needs of the U.S. empire—from Vietnam to Iraq and beyond.
Second: The fascist agenda of the Trump/Pence regime requires a radical, violent restructuring of U.S. society, and a ferocious re-assertion of “America First” here and around the world. Trump’s incorporation of the generals strengthens his ability to do that.
Third: There is the idea that the nuclear codes are in sane hands. No they are not. These generals serve at the pleasure of Trump. And only one person can legally use these codes: Donald Trump.
