Isn’t the president commander in chief?
I’m not American, this is a real question
Yes. That's not a military position, that's a civilian position. The ironic part is, the military is commanded by a civilian to keep the military in check...
LOL how is that going for USAians?
Actually very well. You don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. The military being commanded by a civilian to keep the military in check is about keeping the military from ruling the country. See: Pakistan, Myanmar.
What you see is the civilian government throwing the military around carelessly, not the military getting out of check.
If you want to laugh about something, laugh about how the checks and balances between the 3 branches of government have broken down, not about the military ruling over the people.
Oh no we're laughing at that too 🤣😅
Yeah, exactly the "irony" part.
