it’s very narrow i guess, people who are retired and completed the 20 years for a pension before 60? some clause lets the military call those people back to active duty or something. but you go down the joint chiefs of staff they’re almost all 60+ and the retired ones are definitely older so whats the point?
they could change the rules ig but the chilling effect of something like that would be insane, the entire military hierarchy will be terrified to do anything for fear of getting fucked 20 years later for it lmao
a military dictatorship would be something that could run the US military better (basically nothing else though) which is not good for the third world.
financialized destruction of US fighting power is a positive; that going so far as to provoke a reaction that could fix it to some extent is not so good.
It will also fuck economic and ideological levers of control, and that will give communists more advantages than improving American military will harm us.
It would strip them of benefits and pension im pretty sure

maybe in the short term, but the run on effect of this politicization will be the military interfering with civilian government out of self interest.
It will make American government less stable and efficient, so good, I guess.
