I'm not sold on the idea that career military folks are all Democrats.

Trump, and his apologists are quick to paint military leadership as corrupt, war-mongering, politically motivated, deep state losers, suckers etc, but I believe most Americans are still behind them.

Most of them have a rotating door with defense contractors.

After their public career they get a cushy job on the board of Lockheed Martin or Boeing.

They are the exact opposite of patriotic/loyal military servants. They're opportunistic frauds.

Nah, he's just throwing MORE! $$$ at the DoD and starting a new force whose mission was already included in the AF's mission statement.

Thank you for sharing your view of our men and women on uniform. I think most Trump apologists share your contempt.

If it weren't for his Chief of Staff Kelly and Mattis at the Pentagon, reining in Trump, knocking some sense into his head, we would currently be at war with Venezuela. Trump was hell bent on getting rid of Maduro.

And don't we all know, from our experience in Vietnam, it's an exercise in futility to go to war in a country with mountains and jungle?

He had also threatened to go to war with North Korea. Thank god his staff made him see the light.

He did do some precision strikes in Syria and the urging of his daughter, who hated seeing children exposed to chemical weapons.

I'm seriously trying to figure out if people that write this type of stuff are being for real or not. if Trump is truly the greatest then how could he be so stupid to have some of these deep state people as part of the Joint Chiefs? It's crazy that you think that anyone that opposes Trump is "deep state" whatever the hell that means.

I think the election will not be affected by 200 votes.
And I dont think a single American will change their ideology based upon what some retired govt official thinks.

So whats your point?
