I understand exactly what you are saying. Our son was a Marine Reservist (crew chief) during the Gulf War, came home safe and sound, finished college while toying around for a few years trying to decide if he wanted to make the Marines a career. Anyway, when he saw Bubba Clinton get elected that changed his mind. It breaks my heart to know that our military have to salute this POS.
Yeah, we may have lost the battle but it’s the war that scares the bejeebers out of me.
It really doesn’t take a whole lot to undermine the morale of our military, especially when a radical administration takes over. I expect there may be a strong push to do away with current policy with respect to homosexuals and allow them to serve in an open capacity. That would literally be the death blow to destroying unit cohesion.
I had considered possible military (likely Naval) service (father was in the Navy, uncle in the Air Force, grandfather in the Army (WW2), other grandfather in the British Army (WW1), ggg grandfather served under Andrew Jackson in the Creek Campaign & Battle of New Orleans, and another, a Hessian mercenary hired by the British in the Revolution, an eclectic group), but I’d have been entering at the start of Clinton’s term, and being very politically aware in my teens far above my peers, I knew exactly what he was going to do with the military, and so I was disavowed of any notion of entering.
It really is true now that only Republican administrations have the most remote respect for the military (and why so many Democrats often seek to disenfranchise military voters, because they know which way they vote). But I do believe the False Messiah will attempt to cripple our military. He’d probably prefer to create his own personal army (with tougher standards, of course), exclusively loyal to him, as we’ve seen in many Third-World countries. Scary stuff.
