re: Aircraft carrier captain to be removed from duty

I served under three administrations, Clinton, Bush and Obama. Everyone was obviously supposed to be non-partisan, but you could tell in conversations, who went to church,what people did socially, that the Officer Corps in the Army leaned pretty heavy to the right, even under Clinton.

Then in 2008, things changed fast with Obama's election. And it wasn't just new officers, more senior officers than me seemed giddy about the prospects.

It almost seemed like there was a shite load of Manchurian candidates. Everyone had received all the kinder gentler training as mandated, but I don't remember anyone liking it.

I'm sure the Iraq War had an influence.

But then at like the drop of the hat it was embraced as mantra, by many, not all but many. I don't know how much it swung back under Trump, but the numbers of those who would undermine this administration is scary to imagine.
