What is the current mindset of the U. S. military? Do they agree with what is happening in the USA?

since recruitments have really increased since President Trump is back I expect that the rank and file personnel like the new and improved military. I do not think anyone was very hapep with a woke army.

[Sevenpointfive]

interesting take. there's some truth to that.

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

my nephew just came back from Iran. he's glad to be home though to him it was just a "job"

[Sevenpointfive]

sounds like a mercenary

[Phunk_Fenomenon]

everyone in the military is a mercenary if you think about it. only difference is that those who are in the military claim to serve a country

[msc545]

I'm not in the military, and I don't know what the mindset of the U. S. military. The only reference point I have are the veterans who I take care of, and to a man they despise Trump and hate the present activities of the military.

[Sevenpointfive]

i wonder if they've given you their perspective of the brainwashing? i personally don't know if it's possible. the power of suggestion and subliminals is real though. so i suppose to certain people it is possible. i wonder if that's part of the test as a citizen?

[msc545]

I'm not sure why you're asking this question or what you were trying to determine.

[Sevenpointfive]

because active military mindset vs a vet mindset would be completely different i would think?

[msc545]

I don't know about that. I don't speak to active military very much. I occasionally get somebody who's just getting out, but for the most part I don't discuss politics with my patients.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's not politics. that's their job. and it's one of their favorite topics. but i admit that a military member certainly has a type.

[Twalli]

If they're good soldiers we will never know. Obviously, they have political views, but they shouldn't be public about them while serving.

[Sevenpointfive]

i could totally see them sending the dissenters into operations to get killed first because of that opinion. that's sad

[NathanDavis]

those who were vocal about it... were sent back home

they're not paid to think, just to follow mandates by their handlers

[Shiprex]

I think a lot of the living abroad aren't happy with the irrational chaotic nature of the regime that controls them.

[RavVid]

The militaries of all countries should have no political opinions. Individuals should have no opinion outside of the ballot box.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's ridiculous. we do not agree here

[RavVid]

? If militaries have political mindsets then it is a short step to strong political opinions and then to a need to correct what is happening. Then to a military dictatorship.

Obviously members of the military are voters and can have whatever opinion they care to. At least at senior levels views shouldn't be public except for perhaps their capability with funding allocated.

But, in any democracy, the military must be able to serve under any government.

It can't be any other way.

[RareBreedOfMan]

It's hard to say they may disagree, and I'm sure some do agree with the Presidents decision.

[Anonymous]

For most troops its a job. The military leadership approves

[blackeagle007]

They do their duty regardless of the war circumstances

[888theGreat]

They never want to fight, and I don't think they agree with what Trump is doing.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Unless it's a patently illegal command, they must follow orders.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

From my understanding? Yes.
