Will the military respect their oath or will they fall for a tyranny ? This might be USA's last hope.
Half the military is probably MAGA, military persons tend to like authoritarian leaders.
So don't bet on them as the last defense. It needs to be resolved BEFORE military becomes a factor.
I’m surprised that military types support him still.
Anecdotally; the retired marines, airman, and navy pilots I know are deeply upset by Trumps appointment. The problem is they aren’t active. They fought in Korea, Vietnam, and the gulf. Hell, the 91 year old Navy pilot I know flew Spy missions into Russian airspace 100 feet off the ground at 500mph. He put a sign on his fence that said. “If you voted for Trump, you’re not welcome”. On his front gate. His fellow democrat neighbors told him he needed to take it down. And he gets emotional with tears in his eyes when he said “Trump is un-American”. This is so sad. Those who care; they did their time! I know there are plenty of MAGA vets that fought along side him. After everything they went through together, the rift they face is over this moron?! Over Trump?! Trump is what broke America in half? That makes my head spin. Not Clinton, not Bush, not 911, not Obama. Trump is the line of separation. I hope we learn that sooner rather than later. I hope we learn whatever this “grievance” is we face as a country. And by god, I hope people get there fill of this bull shit faster, so we can all move on to something else. Sick of eating Trump morning noon and night.
Agreed. Also i'm surprised anybody at all could still support him.
Well yeah, that’s true. But he’s mocked military people that died or got captured…but then he’s mocked many groups and they still support him.
