1. Military personnel in silos have a much more rigorous fitness for duty eval

then Trump's "medical exam."

Edited to add: I happen to personally know people who do those exams.

2. It stuns me that some Military members still support this phlegm wad

Just the things we know about him - Not the speculation or reasonable suspicion but rather what is flat out KNOWN & PROVEN about his behavior would disqualify him from service and should have disqualified him from office.

I never fell under the auspices of the PRP - and I thank all that's good in the world that I didn't. It is invasive in the extreme and is a suspend first ask questions later system. Any error in judgement was potentially harmful to your career
The joke was that the fastest way to make TSgt was to arrive at Strategic Air Command as a MSgt (Master Sergeants have 6 stripes and Technical Sergeants wear 5, just so no non-Air Force people miss the Joke)

But I held high level security clearances for most of my career, and I know this:
In less than 2 months time, this bozo would have been sweeping a warehouse while his discharge paper work got processed.

Damn it - Just Fuck Trump in all ways and at all times - fuck that guy

4. NO president should be allowed to launch a nuclear strike without consent of Congress

A much better solution would be for Congress to pass a law that Congress may give the President limited authority to launch nuclear weapons, valid for only a very short amount of time (perhaps a week or two?) unless Congress extends the time limit. But normally, a President should not be able to do this. If some bozo in office decides to start using nukes, this makes a mockery of the constitutional provision that only Congress may declare war.
