Now it just sounds like courage born of too much alcohol. They were full of hubris, they thought they could handle him, keep their powerful positions and their party.
Those guys should've shouted Wolf! when it mattered.

"Beware of riding the tiger, lest you be eaten by him"
Wow. I hope someone close to him says this to him. Maybe then he will actually do more.
I think, “with all do respect” is more than he deserves, but I understand the impulse.
I have 2 nephews currently serving, one would probably speak up and one wouldn’t. It is a challenge to understand. :(
