The question to ask is ‘How many have actually and deliberately in defense of US troops placed their own lives in jeopardy’. If they are not real military anything they say has to be taken with a grain of salt. I forgot farmers and some hunters use salt licks to feed and entice animals.
Actually, unless someone has served in the military, how could they ever understand it? These talking heads act as if they are experts without having much understanding in the field they are covering. Many of them are not working for the best interests of the country, but their own selfish careers. They worship the liberal Democratic Party because they think it is cool.
