      At least the newly unemployed soldiers will have a nice well-paying paramilitary to join, so they can keep supporting their wives and their wives’ boyfriends.

        Just casually trashing the military and then being shocked when the military doesn’t support you.

          One of the freedoms the American military purportedly protects is the freedom to talk shit about the American military.

            Ok? So what? You’re legally allowed to but don’t expect people to like your for it.

                You like them trashing the military?

                Cool, don’t expect the military to support you.

                  Fair point, I personally couldn’t care less if the U.S. Military supported me or not if I can’t exercise my free speech then I don’t think it even matters. Again that’s my personal beliefs.

                  They need to be held to a higher standard of behavior by the people. So they must be critiqued it is crucial in a functional democracy.

                  Is that what’s happen in reality? Not really, it’s very politically motivated right now.

                    Sure, I don’t disagree, but if you REALLY think there a Nazi, Fascist dictatorship coming into power, the military is someone you want on your side.

                    And the military, particularly combat arms, tends to be more conservative than liberal.

          How’s that leather taste?

          If the military willingly follows illegal, unconstitutional orders, why would I want to support them?
