    What a naive idiot this person is.

    every single one of us, from private to general, are loyal to that Constitution and will never turn our back on it no matter what

    You had some of your own people storming the capital on Jan 6th, but were meant to believe none of you ever would go against the constitution?

    Fucking clowns.

      Enlisted men are one thing, officers quite another. And the higher you go, the more their attitude in on the straight and narrow. You’re not getting promotioned if you’re publicly political.

      The rank and file can support Trump (privately) all they like. The sorts who act political are held back or kicked out long before attaining rank.

      tl;dr: The American military is extraordinarily proud of being apolitical.

        If I recall so where the Wehrmacht in the 1930s yet Nazis still rose in the ranks. IDK man I hope you’re right, I really do.

          Different army, different country, different times.

          But yes, let’s not act like America is morally proof against such a rise in fascism. Never in life thought I would see what I’m seeing. But here we are.
