This is ridiculous. My husband is retired military. He told his son he could not join. The military is NOT hostile to conservative values, however, conservatives are hostile to providing that actual services that veterans need when they return home.

I look at how veterans are treated. No way I would have my kid join.

As a military wife, many things have changed. Military personnel used to have great retirement benefits - they no longer have those. If you go onto a base, it used to offer things that weren't offered off base, cheap products, recreational activities, those have scaled down considerably. The military has not made it attractive to join. They just keep cutting benefits while in, and then treating veterans like s*it when they get home.

Always money for fancy toys built in their state but never for vet medical care.

The military is not hostile toward conservatives, it is adamantly opposed to extremism and politics and religion- and the current combination- in command. If I heard one more new commander go on about the bible, I was going to lose it. Keep that at home. And you, 05, with a “don’t tread on me” flag on your government housing on federal property? That’s rich. Enjoy retirement.

But like fundamentalists, the current Republican Party pretends they're oppressed if they have to have any boundaries about their evangelism.[/b] [b]The military is as diverse as our country so you may call it “woke”, but most of us call it living and working with different people as a team.[/b][/quote]

Well said. There is a mission and individual politics/religion has no place in accomplishing the mission. This is true in most workplaces.
