Yes, but in this country we know that every 0-8 and above who received stars after 1/20/2009 and before 1/20/2017 was at least acceptable to Obama and his minions. That’s nine years.... how many men and women make 0-8 and remain on active duty for another 9 years? It’s not that it never happens, but it’s not common. Remember, Clinton had 8 years to weed up and coming conservative field grade officers out in the ‘90s. The junior officers of the ‘90s are the 0-6s of today, and the field grade officers of the ‘90s still on active duty are the 0-7s-0-10s of today.
I’m not sure I would trust anyone at 0-7 or above not to be part of the “resistance” to Trump unless I knew them personally. I’m sure most of them aren’t, but you can’t trust them implicitly the way you could trust the military before Clinton got rid of so many senior officers after taking office in the early 1990s.
Only I wouldn't put the start date of the problem 1/20/09 as you do. I put it at 1/20/89.
Every man who got a third or fourth star under the Bushes, Clinton, OR Obama had to be a sold-out globalist.
If our chain of command disintegrates and we go to war over this, I expect it will be one of those major/LTC vs. LTG and up conflicts.
