"There is no aspect of our agenda of the 21st century leadership where the women and men of the Defense Department do not have a role — whether it’s helping curb the pandemic here at home and around the world; or addressing the real threats of climate change that already is costing us billions in impacts on our bases, on our national security; or being part of an ongoing fight for racial justice."

They're essential for all leadership roles and this isn't a coup? Are you kidding me? Since when has the DoD been essential for racial justice? Since when has the DoD been essential for climate change? Since when has the DoD been essential for all leadership? Since when was the DoD essential for all policy agendas?

When one central agency is responsible for everything, that's a coup. A soft coup is when power is handed over through legal means. Biden basically told them to be essential to everything he's doing. That's a coup.
