Troubling 

 The Trump Administration has swept the civilian ranks of Pentagon officials and installed loyalists in the last two days.  That should trouble American citizens.  It is unclear what Trump can and will do with yes-men in charge of airmen, soldiers and sailors.  Trump has one concern -- to overturn the results of the election -- and he has surrounded himself with slavish admirers willing to act in order to do that.  The message of the replaced officials is that Trump is getting ready to do something to ensure he stays in office.  One can think the worst and not be far off.  Trump wants to be an autocrat, a dictator who rules with his own whims and has subordinates who do his will without asking about moral, legal or ethical issues.  American democracy is in peril, especially with millions of supporters who are unhappy he has lost the election and eager to uphold anything he does.  A cornered Trump is a dangerous man, and it will not be too soon to get rid of him.
