Having worked as a civilian for the US Army, I can attest that most of these people entered the military for job security, healthcare and education. The others joined because (and I remember one quote), “where else can you shoot guns and blow up shit?”. Not the level of intelligence you would hope for in the service. If our greatest export is the military, then re institute the draft WITHOUT EXEMPTIONS for the rich and connected!

While it’s conventional practice to heap praise on all members of the military without ever throwing an unkind word in their direction, we need to remember that while many people join in order to serve their country, others join simply because they want the opportunity to kill people.
Under the new President, many such opportunities are likely to come. If you’re one of those people who just wants to kill, you’d likely want to wave a flag celebrating the fact that the new President is also a psychopath.

Violation of the MCOC. Disrank or discharge.

It did. One can only hope that those Trump-fellating assholes are now feeling shame. If not, I’m guessing that their unit members are lambasting them.

Not sure you have any idea what makes a Seal. Hint: political ideologies have little to nothing to do with it.

Forty six percent were stupid or uninformed enough to vote for Trump. The rest are distracted by Bannonchaos ™ so RIP Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Protection Bureau. We’re on “the Flying Scotsman to Clusterfuckville”

Seal Team 6 was enroute to put down the unreported Great Obama Muslim Uprising that became the Bowling Green Massacre. Trump knew it was going to happen back in 2011 and notified the U.S. Navy who obviously took immediate action. Praise be to 5-Star General trump as 1,000s if not an additional million would have been massacred if not for his actions.
President trump is a natural disaster.

So much for the quaint idea that our armed forces would never, ever support a slow-motion slide into authoritarianism in the U.S.

Considering solely the various special forces such as the Rangers, Green Berets, and the SEALs, what percentage of them do you estimate voted for Trump? what percentage for Clinton? Stein? Johnson?

I think the record will show Mike Pence calling women in the military a “bad idea,” and Donald Trump criticizing the decision to allow women into the U.S. military, by calling it “bedlam.”
Fact: Women make up about 15% of the U.S. Military.
