Military people are different than what people think of as government workers, different motivation and different personalities, different outlook on American life, different purpose for being in their job and for most it is temporary, a simple checkpoint on their path to duty and personal fulfillment.
I don’t disagree with your points about military personnel however, as you are no doubt aware, the Left is working overtime to vilify and demonize Trump. This is no casual effort; it is systematic and the troublesome aspect of this is they have already made inroads into politicizing our military, especially at the higher levels. The Left’s drive to paint Trump as a national threat (i.e., a fascist) and delegitimize him as a leader has obvious implications.
