or am I the only one that fears they are neck deep in the swamp and could / would turn on the president (and maybe us)?

Officers are obligated to disobey unlawful orders.

They swear an oath to the Constitution, not to any one individual.

Dems will Defund the military. Many veterans will lose benefits. Many veterans will be homeless. That is the real tragedy.

Well.....yes, there’s a lot of top brass folks who love the MIC and that’s about as swampy as it gets.

I would say the majority of the military is pro Trump.

Really? I only know a handful but they’re all Democrats - I’m hoping the ones I know are exceptions

Geez Louise! Are you really that naive?! I hope you’re 12.

We just had one of the military’s “finest“ break the chain of command and at least a dozen laws attempting to have the President impeached over a routine nothing-burger phone call.

We can hope the overwhelming majority or patriots. There is no doubt there are too many senior officers a machine gun Trump supporter at the bequest of Soros and the DNC.

If the majority of the military were Democrat why would Democrats and Democrat leadership in blue states go out of their way to disenfranchise military absentee ballots?

Case in point - one of my former coworkers who is a New York resident was told 2 years ago that he was removed from the voter registry. He had to threaten legal action and a copy of his active duty orders to get put back on and they retaliated by waiting until after the election to send his ballot.

The troops carrying the guns and flying the jets aren’t lining up to vote for Biden. Lol don’t worry
Every single warrior I know that is/was in the military leans Trump. Why wouldn’t you? Trump has made the military stronger and hasn’t gotten us further involved in endless wars like his predecessors. Quick strikes with drones and stand off air strikes. The way it should be.

An overweight career FAO who has never led anything beyond a Platoon and who wasn't even born here is hardly what you call "one of the military's finest".

Here's a hint: An Infantry E4 could tell Vindman to frick off to his face and the command would take his complaint and wipe their arse with it.

If an extreme version of this were to come about, at what point does the international community step in? Surely that would occur in some form or fashion.

The Pentagon is the beating heart of the Deep State. The sooner true supporters of limited government come to this realization, the better.

Lt. Col. Alexander " Oh say can you see " Vindman is a prime example of what is wrong with the so called 'leadership' in uniform.

Guessing his kind are a dime a dozen in the military.

and is populated by over 60% civilian personnel. Most officers HATE the Pentagon with a passion and go out of their way to avoid it if possible.

The top positions are political to some degree. It is just a matter of time before the Obama guys cycle out and the Trump guys take charge.

So are the police. How's that working out for law abiding citizens?
