Kirk must have been a ginormous pile of the stinkiest shit imaginable, if they have to work this hard to force people to pretend to be sad that he's dead.

This will be a useful litmus test for the administration to wipe out a number of service members who "can't be trusted to enact King Trump's will".

They will receive UCMJ article 92. This happens in the military all the time. Someone post something online not within the standards of the service. Depending on how bad is how severe the punishment if any.

This sounds like a good idea for them in theory to purge out people they don't want, but this will definitely bite them in the ass eventually. The last thing you want to do when trying to use the military to take over is to divide the military. And to those that say "well the military is mostly republicans so they'll be fine with this" you forget that conservatives are big on free speech. Sure, there are the whiny ones on the internet that are a bunch of snowflakes, but those are not in the majority. Hell, most of them are probably bots, troll farms, or terminally online ragebaiters that are just louder.

If anything, I'm honestly starting to think that a lot of the doomers all over the internet are just bots trying to get everyone to lose hope and give up.
