Who is looking down on whom?

Left-wing socialists always look down on the military that defends them. I'll take "braying jingoism" over cowardly hypocrisy anyday.

One would be remiss in counting on high morality in a democracy. Ours, after all, is the country run for eight years by a raping traitor who gave strategic military secrets to the Communist Chinese in return for their help in financing his election. Things change and must. Moral superiority is worthless in the service of national interest.
