Both statements are facts, and the military has always been conservative, today it is becoming more liberal, and in the future it will become another branch of federal employment security and 50% female, and very unwilling to fight, focusing on quality of life issues for it’s employees, and only having a small percentage of combat troops usable for small interventions and policing actions.
The 2030 military will not come anywhere close to the conservative military of 1970.
What you say is the honest truth.
The military, such as it is, is not conservative anymore. If we had to go a round with China, or any modern power, we couldn’t.
The men and women serving now are coming home broken, and no one cares.
