My more malevolent plan is a one-time retirement offer where the first MFer to resign gets $25 million, the second gets $20 million, etc.
The more politically palatable version is to just pay every SCOTUS justice $10 million upon their retirement, thereby encouraging regular turnover.
Vice President Mike Pence tried to assert control.

" … demanding that military services ask recruits a standardized set of questions “to solicit specific information about current or previous extremist behavior.”
Great idea, Lloyd. I’m sure they’ll answer truthfully.
Other ideas:
• Do in-depth background checks;
• Quit airing Faux News on military bases.
Fun Fact: The (blessedly deceased) Rush Limpball’s show aired three hours — along with another three-hour rebroadcast(!) — around the world on the Armed Forces Radio Network every doG-damned weekday from 1993 through February 4 this year. For those keeping score, that’s 30 hours a week with absolutely zero counter-programming.
Good news. We don’t need an Air Force Academy anyway.
There’s an old joke, told in many variations, that goes something like this: Someone newly arrived in a long-term group situation (prison, submarine, etc. etc.) observes that one person will throw out a number, like maybe “thirty three”, and everyone else in the group starts laughing.
Confused, the newbie asks what’s up. “Well,” they explain, “we’ve all been together so long and told each other the same jokes over and over, that to save time we just decided to number them all”.
Okay, thinks the newbie, I can do that too. And says “fourteen”.
Nobody laughs.
And then someone says, “you didn’t tell it right”.
Well, it sounds like the TPM boards have almost reached that point with our usual memes…
Maybe the whole “separate service” thing was a mistake and it’s time to return to the Army Air Corps.
Just about anything can be justified on grounds of military order and readiness. It’s basically rational basis scrutiny.
That’s far from the worst idea I’ve heard today.
More concerning then the enlisted troops are the officers including those promoted to the rank of general and many come to mind. That is before congress approves certain promotions they need took a person’s commitment to democracy and this is a much bigger problem than Flynn.

Discreditable conduct regs apply a deeper level of compliance in order to adhere to the necessity of unit cohesion. A reputation for belonging to racist groups/movements would undermine confidence in your leadership. Basically, you get drummed out for not being a good fit.
It’s no different than failing physical fitness requirements. If your attitudes and behaviours towards others fall short of requirements, you’ll get released.
Ahhh, good ole joke 62, haven’t heard that one in a while! 
What number is the popcorn eating meme?
Better yet, combine all of the services under one roof. If nothing else it would end the competition for and duplicative purchases of different weapons systems. Unless, for example, someone can explain why the Army, Navy and Air Force require its own “boutique”, say, helicopters.
Ate?
I’ve heard it, “Some people can tell a joke and some can’t.”
Four words: “Gays in the military.”
Four other words: “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”
Never mind the recruits. What about the extremists that are already there?
Or any social media outlet. Particularly Parler.
On the topic of military generally, I didn’t think that you got to pick and choose. “Just about anything can be justified on grounds of military order and readiness.” I guess if they get sick, they don’t have to arrest their relatives at the next insurrection to overthrow democracy? Sounds like gaming the system to me.
