I remember when the military was considered apolitical with conservative leanings. Just goes to show what a 24 year sandwich... a generation.. of Obama and Clinton wrapped around a weak GWB can do. Obama cashiered many top personnel and replaced them with more politically compliant ones.
The Pentagon has earned in spades a large budget cut in Trump’s second term. I’m sure he can get the Democrats to agree to that. I never in my life seen a more ungrateful bunch than “Trump’s Generals” and now senior military leadership.
