That segment about blindly following orders makes Mike sounds like a Hannity style of conservativism/patriotism. Say lots of buzzwords to make you think he is on your side... (Notice the big talk about trivial things and low hanging fruit like DEI,.etc).... But when something serious and meaningful comes up,.. Like military actually following their oath as if it really is at the core of our country .... and he suddenly retreats to a position more in line with the establishment and lets not rock the boat.
In short: Say lots of things to sound tough but retreat right on the edge of change.
It would have been great for Dave to say:
, "So they should ignore their oath?"
Or even
"So if the they are required to follow orders of their commanders, then there really is no hope for change whatsoever."
My only hope is that Mike is trying to throw off the cabal. Or there is some other 5D chess move happening. Who knows.
