    Trillion dollar military with all the latest weapons of war at its disposal, leading all the world’s armies and holding the best technologies … and it’s afraid of holidays.

      It’s not afraid, it’s taking orders from an elected civilian who is the only civilian capable of issuing orders over tenured career military generals with high level college degrees. That elected civilian also happens to be a bigoted piece of spray tanned human shit

    [Defense Intelligence Agency ordered staff to suspend all activities and events at work relating to Holocaust remembrance]

    This reminds me of a flashback scene in Man in the High Castle when Top Nazi guy is still in the American army but they have just surrendered and now he is passing out Nazi armbands to his fellow American soldiers.
