Sometime ago, Thomas Friedman stated in a New York Times
Op-ED article, that when he thought of the sacrifices made by those in the Military and that of their families, that America did not deserve them.
He was appalled that the public was oblivious to the hardship and selflessness of those in uniform, that the public was more concerned with various sport season’s, then the hardships required in service to one's country.
Is it surprising then, as noted by Friedman, when he witnessed the cultural disconnect, that distain for inept political leadership would be the natural end result for a superbly trained and discipline army?
Though, I do not have the evidence to support this next comment, I think there is a correlation, with regard Dr. Bacevich article, Friedman’s observation, and the fear that was recently expressed by the current administration, via the chief of homeland security, concerning the of return of war Veterans, and the threat they supposedly posed.
Although, I can image civil unrest due to the continual abuse of the America taxpayer, I do not see a Coup de tęte initiated by our Military; it is quite frankly, inconceivable.
However, I did buy more ammo yesterday.
