Do you know this not to be true? How?
lol
Why are you here, then?
Consider that roughly half our top officers got into the service Academies by being hand-picked by the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff etc.
You do NOT get into West Point, the Naval Academy, or the Air Force Academy without being hand selected by a Representative or Senator, and at least half of them, for decades, have been leftist and/or Deep State controlled.
It's a dream imagining the great majority of our Generals, Colonels, Admirals, etc are conservative Patriots. The question is what evidence you have that anything like 90% of them are. How the hell would they have got there? Pelosi put them in? Schumer? Because about half of them were selected by such.
Civilian controlled military, with at least half the civilian politicians being corrupt. What we can reasonably hope for, IMO anyway, is for some part of the military to be clean of corruption and true Patriots, with these being able to get the job done. Imagining the Pentagon as a whole to be clean or corruption or anything like is unrealistic. Hence, for example, the endless corrupt wars.
And, for example, all the child porn on Pentagon computers. That was in the news a while back. No prosecutions apparenty, no evidence of anyone losing his career. How did they have all that CP there if the brass are all or mostly clean Patriots?
Not trying to be combative here but would like to ask if you attended one of the academies? My husband is a graduate of USMA and served in 1st Gulf War and in Somalia before rejoining civilian life. In the fall of 2019 we attended his 30 year class reunion at West Point. I can say with a great amount of certainty that of the people I met, both in his class and in others that were also in attendance, the vast majority were Trump supporters and loyal patriots. As you mentioned, they are all appointed by a Representative or Senator from their states and while some higher ranking officers MAY have been appointed by DS (there are bad apples in every bunch), I will wager that 99% of them will uphold the constitution above all else. You don't wear the bracelets of the fallen only to turn your back on the principles for which they fell.
Thank you for your husband's service. The answer is no, I was recruited by the Naval Academy for their engineering program but was not accepted (not for reason of the politicians.) It should be noted you are speaking of the class of 31 years ago. At that time, just being a Democrat politician did not mean you were necessarily evil. These days and for some time, it does. 100% does.
Again, mentioned in another post, how does one explain all the child porn on Pentagon computers if they are clean? Answer, too many are not.
My only thing is that among people who voluntarily put their lives on the line for the cuase of the nation, may have a strong feeling for it not being taken over by Communists.
I would say it's generally a mistake to attribute to others what would be our own reasons for doing a thing.
Besides having appeal to those who truly wish to serve their country, the military can be appealing to authoritarian personality types, to lovers of government, the bigger the better, and to those who love having the government as their daddy, providing guaranteed paycheck, healthcare, and pension. These types do not necessarily have any objection at all to leftist government and can even prefer it.
Colonel Aquino was a Satanist, for example. He fit in just fine in the military. How is that? It is from top officers widely not being as clean as we would truly like to imagine.
Or, remember the recent Pentagon child porn scandal? All that CP on computers all over the place in the Pentagon? How many arrests were there? Is there any evidence anyone even lost their career?
Again, to me the thing to hope for is a specific part of the military being clean Patriots, rather than speaking of the entirety as such.
