Appointed? What you do not understand is that people are not appointed generals or admirals. They have to work their way through the ranks and it takes decades to become general, and during that time they will have served while GOP and Dems have been in power.

I didn't jus make it up, which is why I posted links to back up my information. You should try it once.

I do not expect Biden to win, but this letter shows Trump's disgust/contempt for the military seems to go both ways. Trump despises them, and they despise him.

Don't fool yourself OP, **MOST** Vets and Active Duty are Trump Supporters. You're delusional if you think this isn't the case.

I'm not a big fan of Biden, but I know I cannot deal with the embarrassment that is Trump for 4 more years.
Theres nothing secret about govt employees and officials protecting the status quo and you portraying it as a conspiracy theory is a shameful way to conceal it.

You think Trump is an embarrassment, well I dont need to find personal pride in the personna of elected leaders and certainly do not vote cult of personalities.

I vote by the intended policies of the candidates, in that respect Trump has been an amazing President and Harris and Biden will be disastrous.

Open borders, slavery reparations, BLM antifa rioting for dead thugs committing crimes on drugs, pro China, sucking up to political correctness and apologizing for the accomplishnents of european colonists....

Maybe thats why youre left with only attacking the character of Trump. The policies of your platform are just horrible.

That, and Obama purged a lot of generals as president, and installed politically partisan toadies that would do his bidding.

Here's a question for those generals, did you fight back when Obama decided, all on his own, to start a war with Libya? No, you didn't. So to hell with you hacks.

You dont make General without being a brass kisser and the selection process at the upper levels of military is completely subjective.
You dont get in the good ole boys club if youre not a good ole boy.
Trump is not supported by the good ole boys.

In other shocking news the sky is blue and water is wet.

This is yet more democrat election propaganda. Significant numbers of pseudo republicans or wanna be conservatives are suddenly abandoning their life long ideologies and because Trump is a toad now embrace Joe Biden and the democrat platform.

And if we see them we are so weak willed we join them.

Give it up we arent that dumb.

You seem to have a habit of just saying stuff and hoping that it might be true and it practically never is. Only 38% have a favorable view (vs Biden 41%), while 49.9% has unfavorable view of Trump. 42% say they "strongly disapprove" Trump. 13% support 3rd party.

This is bad news for Trump, and these were the numbers BEFORE he called them losers and suckers. He thought they would support him if he just throws other people's money at them, but people need more than that, - they need respect and Trump does not understand the meaning of the word any more than he understand why people serve in the first place.

nearly half of respondents (49.9 percent) had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view . Questions in the poll had a margin of error of up to 2 percent.

Among all survey participants, 42 percent said they “strongly” disapprove of Trump’s time in office.

Yep, apparently they preffered it when Obama killed 10s of thousands, used billions in weapons in Libya, and the loss of life when Obama lost 2000 American lives in Afganistan due to his surge there

Well, this poll tells a different story. Trump still holds a majority support from the military.

And how many of them left the military for a cushy defense contractor position?
