That their contempt for Trump should be all the greater in that he
shares quite a number of their same attitudes but has the audacity to be
about 10% radically different opinions in certain areas isn't too
surprising, either. "not invented here"-mentality
The military in the USA have been steadfastly loyal to the
Constitution and to the people. CIA, FBI, DOJ seem to have evolved
into power centers with their own amoral political interests and no
affection for daylight.
We who serve in the US Military take an oath to "Uphold the Constitution, and to defend the United States against all enemies, both Foreign and Domestic."
We are not released from that oath, after we are discharged. To the gutless lefties who try to trash America, they will likely never understand this issue.
I look at those who openly brag that they didn't serve but their family members did, to be on the same level of 'Stolen Valor' types.
Their Moms and grandmas, too?
I served, along with family members of both parents. Most were during WWII, but some during Korea and Vietnam. Mostly in the Army, followed by the Navy and Marines. There was no Air Force when most of them served.
One of my Aunts served in the WAC during WWII, and one grandmother was a nurse that worked with Veterans. Did yours?
