That’s why Trump is the only option. Spend it shoring up social security and building up the United States. How is it that Trump has stolen the anti-war, anti big pharma, anti American oligarchy, pro blue collar political playing field? The Dems have been totally punked into being the unpopular warmongering establishment.

I don’t follow your logic

They’re pretending DoD funding didn’t rise under trump

Unemployment rates are at historic lows- I'm sure that has nothing to do with it. Not to mention that nearly 40% of 18-25 year olds are drug users.

And overweight and out of shape. That’s been a problem for awhile now.

The so-called "Milley's woke madness" is right wing media fiction. Ask anyone on active duty how much mandatory "DEI" type training or other activities they've had to do in the last 2 years and if anything they maybe only had to sit through a 15 minute powerpoint, tops.

Y'all need to stop believing your own hyperbole.

My spouse is active duty military. He doesn’t think it’s fiction.

Then he’s not professional and he’s allowing his politics to affect his job.

Professional military members are apolitical.

No. There is nothing requiring military members to be "apolitical."

Actually, professionalism does.

You can have your own political thoughts and beliefs but you do not bring them to the office. Like a grown up.

PP said nothing about her husband bringing them "to the office." He is allowed to have opinions. He is a grown up.

If he keeps his opinions to himself, then he's not being political.

I do not want our kids to bow to authority. I want them to be creative, rebellious, free-thinking and not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

He doesn't need to keep his opinions to himself. He's allowed to express his opinions to his friends, neighbors, wife, etc.
Do you really think that all military members are locked "in the office" and allowed no contact with anyone but his co-workers?

My dad retired as a Lt Gen and we never knew his political leanings until after he retired - not even my mother. He said he served the president no matter who it was and never even voted while active duty.

I’ve noticed that the current young people are struggling more with this idea and with authority in general. Between that and the physical fitness issue, I’m not surprised it’s harder to find enough people to join now.

But yes, there have been other times that pilots were given bonuses to stay or not allowed to retire. Not news.

No, but being in the military means you represent the military 24/7. It also means you're liable to be called into duty at a moment's notice 24/7.

Super. I'm sure that 20 min. unconscious bias training was a real drain on him. Thank him for his sacrifice for us.
