I hate generalizing but the military is chock full of reasonable nerds. People who want a GI bill to further themselves join and get filled with “if you see something say something”, and people who want action go on to become cops and attend “everyone will murder you if you don’t murder them first” boot camps. If Trump wants hit squads he’d be barking up the wrong tree
You’re right, there are a lot of very liberal people in the ranks. There’s no disputing that. I’m just saying there are plenty of MAGAs around too, more than enough to cause havoc. And if shit starts going south, the GI bill nerds with degrees will head for the door because they have the qualifications to do so. They can stand up for the constitution because they will land on their feet after they get kicked out.
Generalizing myself here, the more conservative a troop is, the more likely the military is all they know. The promise of being special and fighting for the America they believe Trump will give them is more than enough to push some of them over the edge.
