Not true. It's steadily becoming liberal. They've lowered the standard and are actively booting conservatives

I hope this is true - I only currently know 4 military families - and only 1 family is conservative
What branch and what "MOS" or Specialty/Job does the member of the military in those four families do? I bet the 3 non conservative ones are NOT warfighters/trigger pullers/killers. They are probably ash & trash, periphery POGs if they are libs. The actual Warfighters in the military are NOT liberals. FACT.

How is this possible though?

Simple. The military runs on orders. Just have the orders consist of sensitivity training, pro-LGBT curriculum, pro-LGBT policies, etc. Even if the majority disagree with it, the military, more than anywhere else, is an organization that is enforced from the top down and where dissent can get you in trouble.
Liberals recognized this opportunity and took it.

This is true. It shames me to see former Generals getting out and starting psyops companies for hire. They are selling out to the highest bidder (generally been the DNC & tech companies from what I can tell) and using AI platforms to manipulate US citizens like we do in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Anyone who was in the Military over 5 years ago know the condition of the military under Obama/Biden. They also remember the Obama Apology Tour that threw the military under the bus.

My experience is that the position is too broad, but fairly accurate. Most officers I know lean left (70-30) and most enlisted lean right (70-30). The later would be higher but for the number of enlisted minorities that lean left.
The military is run by senior enlisted though.
I feel like that is pretty accurate. To add on, I think most enlisted and lower ranked aren’t going to doing much critical thinking and are probably just going to follow orders. There’s a few apples that are wise and those are the guys that get promoted, but overall the lower ranked and less educated aren’t questioning orders.
A pro and a con in any military.

Remember when this board thought the police would side with the people also?

The one president who has actually de-escalated conflicts should be a winner in their minds

Does not matter.

Yes mother fricker, because the military leadership is stained by him
Your cocksuckers whined about Bush up to 2016 so you have 4 more years to go.

The three liberal families - one is coast guard
The other two families are army - I don’t think they ever saw any action - they’re all 90% disabled from moving boxes around or something - although one was an MP but I don’t know if that’s really true or not
The conservative family is navy

Then there's something a friend of mine brought up the other day, what if Trump leaves the Whitehouse voluntarily but sets up Mar-a-lago as the Trumphouse and has enough traitorous Florida guard soldiers and fanatic paramilitary supporters to keep himself from being arrested and in a position to continue to do what he's been doing the last for years and running amok
And they talk about right wing nut jobs.
They're going to arrest Trump when he leaves peacefully?
Count me in for one of those that will take up arms against the government.

I think you are right that whoever has control of the military would win but it's hard to say who that would be. The people in leadership in the military are all officers with education / college degrees who do not like Trump. A lot of enlisted soldiers don't have a high level of education and do like Trump. As a veteran myself (I was enlisted, not an officer) one of the things that drives me crazy is how Republicans have sort of "claimed" the idea of the military and of patriotism, I think democrats should fight harder on that front.
All that to say it's really tough to say who would come out on top with the military, I think a lot of people assume it would be the right, but as a veteran myself I'm not so sure.
I also really hope my comments about education aren't offensive, they are just statistics that can help give context to the situation. (I personally do not have a college education so I'm certainly not trying to be condescending!)
enlisted + no college = Pro Trump

You’ve read and seen wrong. Sergeants and chiefs do what they are told. The top brass are leftists, and the military will do as they tell them.

I got as far as the second guy saying if Trump lost he would be in office until January 1, and figured whatever else he had to say was moot.
