Really?
Are "most" of them really Trump supporters?
The military is a cross section of society - more now than ever before because we have decided to let in all the freaks and side show performers because -
'muh equality
I only work with a small cross section but believe me when I say, there are PLENTY of field grade officers and senior NCO's (E7 and above) in the US Army that openly declare their belief that gun control reform is needed. There are field grade officers and senior NCOs that think the gender-war progress in the Army is moving along juuuust fine. There are field grade officers and senior NCOs that openly discuss their distaste with how the POTUS does business. I've even heard professional soldiers say "how can you have a daughter and support Donald Trump"
...you know, because Donald Trump is lurking in your daughters closet just waiting to corrupt your children
How many of our 'pop culture' generals and admirals advertise their staunch support of the current POTUS?
How many of them reached such heights by silently advancing the policy agenda of the last POTUS?
How many of them JUMPED at the chance to stop the social agenda of the last POTUS when they had the chance under the current POTUS?
How many of them are willing to send a seditious OpEd to a major news paper?
How many of them quit when they had a policy difference with the POTUS that didnt include a nonstop war in the middle east?
A growing number of Soldiers Sailors Marines and Airmen identify with pop culture trends and NOT traditional American values. The social experimentation with the military is still going full bore with full support of current military leaders even though the services could slow roll or table most of them and the POTUS wouldn't say a word.
Assuming that MOST of the military supports President Trump is a good way to end up as disappointed as Bill Clintons wife was when she found out that her coronation dinner for later that evening had been cancelled.
...just my two cents - I could be wrong
