        @MJoyce2244 @nytimes I oppose any general who is less than 7 full years retired. Kelly & Mattis have agendas.

        They are all retired and report to a democratically elected President. Your attempt to be clever failed.

      So, if Trump installs military in top roles, does that mean there's been an army coup in the US under the guise of a democratic election?

      @mariasacchetti the top two are civilians, and all the generals are retired. It's not a junta in any sense.

        Except regardless of #, it'll never be a "junta", as ALL these retired generals answer to the Cmdr-in-Chief, who's a civilian.
