Remember that our military is taken from our society. Since Clinton (before that actually) as the society has moved left, so has the military. Senior officers, especially flag officers, are as much political creatures as any other bureaucrat. Unfortunately, that has now also infected the enlisted ranks. Many good men in the military but do they understand that their oath of office to "...obey the orders of those appointed over me..." does not include illegal or immoral orders (see Nuremberg). For most, probably not. They will step on the people because they sincerely believe they are upholding the Constitution and their oath.
As a retired Army officer, I grieve over this assessment. Be careful how far you go in building your expectations. Failed expectations can lead to significant emotional events.
I have a strong feeling when this is over, our military is going to look dramatically different. I think the Pentagon goes away in its current form, and the military shrinks dramatically. It’s already happening. Look at the Navy decommissioning all the brand new shitty LCS ships. They are just flat out throwing in the towel and getting rid of them.
I think that we are going to lean down the military significantly, because we are done being world police. We are done nation building.
It’s going to be a military based on 5th gen warfare, relying heavily on socom and space force. The nuclear weapons triangle inside Air Force and navy will remain similar. Space Force will become equal to Navy in size and scope.
Basically I believe just about every facet of the military will look much different from now, with exception to the Navy sub fleet and strategic weapons side of the Air Force.
There is always another that has more intelligence and wisdom. Always ego and humility. The definition of strong and weak within even the group of people who can discern good and evil. This is how we people are and always will be.
We all have different gifts. Faith sometimes can carry us into what another could call fantasy.
If the fantasy is good and of good spirit is this wrong? Is it wrong to fantasize of a military that loves God and it’s people? Some are called to be judges and others are called to be followers.
I am a follower who has a fantasy of God giving the wisdom and the ability to follow through on this endeavor. I hear people always find fault and bicker and dismiss the meek as fantasy fanatics.
Could America fall? Yes it can and some might say it did. Yet what is wrong about the fantasy of America rising again?to separate politics from God is wrong. To separate mens power over both is good.
If America is to rise again people have to love the fantasy again. This fantasy is not weak. It forces people to make a choice of repentance or hardening their hearts with more doubt.
When I wake up I will doubt again, I am human. Yet I will rekindle this fantasy again and again. This is hope. The devil hates hope and hate this fantasy I have.
Were you ever in contact with the military elements that Q was connected with? He always seemed to stress that patriots ultimately held sway over the military.
But I respect your perspective and can imagine how much woke ideology has crept into the ranks. Thank you for your service.
