I’m not trying to be a dickhead, and I certainly don’t mean 100% of all military people, which, I could see why you’d take that from what I posted. But as you know as well as anyone, not everyone who swears an oath to the Constitution embraces all its principles. After all, this president and his personal party’s elected representatives all swore oaths to the Constitution. How seriously do you think they are taking that oath?
The military itself is anything but a democracy. Nobody is asking grunts for their votes on how the military should be run, and that’s the way it should be, because of the unique role the military fulfills. But that certainly must also be a big draw for a high percentage of the leadership who would like to impose the military’s brand of dictatorial command-and-control on the civilian population as well. Michael Flynn is a pretty good example of that. That’s what I meant to imply by what I said.
