Would they?
Most of this political BS comes from the political appointments and the flag officers who work directly for them, not the troops.
The Biden appointees would just make the troops suffer more, rather than shut up.
If they don’t learn, then punish more. I do realize it’s unlikely, Republicans traditionally point out how the left is evil, and then proceed to beg for mercy, please stop. Although it has gotten better, no doubt. Loved DeStantis going after Disney tax breaks. Any institution that wants to play politics, go after them. The left does it well, the right can play the same game. Then maybe we’ll get a truce.
