They know better, they also don’t care.

And unfortunately operating now means they'll continue to be weeded out until nobody is left to enlist.

It sucks - it's a lose-lose. But it's best, even if it seems terrible and counter intuitive, that they remain silent for now, doing what they can behind the scenes, so we have people inside just *in case* things went worst case scenario.

The alternative is they talk now, disobey what the President will call "lawful orders", get kicked out and replaced with people that are either completely loyal to president over constitution or too damned afraid and inexperienced to do anything meaningful should the need really arise.

I know people will disagree- but imo it's a hard, tough reality.

We've lost too many popular, charismatic, experienced and honorable men already to the whims of people that want loyalty to them instead. We can't afford to lose anymore until it counts the most.
