Well, I guess telling top military brass who find you LOATHSOME to leave, is ONE way to purge the military so you can replace them with jackbooted loyalist THUGS.
Trump Threatens Military Brass with Demotions Career Damage - UPI via MSN
(btw this was the original title of the article as it appeared in the source, UPI)
Trump, after lamenting that the room was so quiet when he walked in, told the meeting of top military leaders, "If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, OK?"
Hegseth told the military officers that they had gone soft and that reforms would overhaul the Department of Defense inspector general and equal opportunity programs.
"We are overhauling an inspector general process -- the IG that has been weaponized," he said. "We're doing the same with the equal opportunity and military equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations. No more endless waiting, no more legal limbo. No more side-tracking careers, no more walking on eggshells."
Hegseth told them to quit, if they disagreed. "If the words I'm speaking today are making your heart sink, you should do the honorable thing and resign."

It'd be like me offering my father dessert after he promised to ground me.

THAT is what he means when he says no more frivolous complaints.

Kegsbreath knows nothing of honor! The most honorable thing to do is resist not resign. The Nazi should be the one to resign.
