That's what this is. It is an internal memo sent from the Joint chiefs of staff to all service members. The public sees it because of course that's what happens. It's a reaffirmation of the military's support towards the constitution and political due process. Most people who would view this as a political attack happen to be getting arrested for sedition right now.It should have been a simple command down the chain that no military personnel should participate in insurrection and that prosecution would result if they did
A public announcement like this could be seen as an attack on the Trump base and start a downward spiral drawing the military more into the political process.
