I posted last night on one of the related threads that I was concerned that the military was going its own way and maybe Trump didn’t have full control over them. Nobody responded, but it’s been a concern of mine for awhile now.
I doubt you are alone in that thought.

The truth is often ugly in the Age of Trump. A lot of good folks don’t want to face it. Here we have the military undermining the CIC during a National Emergency. After, of course, having aided and abetted an IC seditious assault against him. Our institutions like the military are failing us. It’s that simple.
I don’t think there is much doubt that Obama left the military weakened with leadership more concerned about global warming, trans rights, etc than actual defense. Trump inherited a mess from the FBI with another deep stater at its helm to the Pentagon; it takes a long time to create change. Everyone thinks it can happen overnight, but it takes a long time to create a cultural change in an organization.
