As Trump seems to want to politicize the military, does anyone see him wanting to place Republican Party Political Officers in military units (much in the same way that Stalin placed political officers in the Soviet military?) Their purpose it seems would be to ensure and enforce loyalty to Trump, part of his fascist makeover of the country.

There are already MAGA loyalist in the military. He can just have them promoted or reassigned as commander in chief.
