So the Democrats have been trying to change the nature of the military. Largely due to the influence of Barack Obama, the Democrats have started the process of using the armed forces as yet another place for social experiments. Obama has changed it in the fashion of a social agitator.
Just look at what the recent priority was at the Pentagon — transgender integration!
Does Trump know what “Draining the Swamp” means?
What are the current facts about the state of our military? The Pentagon’s most expensive destroyer in the history of this country doesn’t have ammunition and has broken down repeatedly. But the focus is transgender integration?
Enter Trump. He did not serve, but he seems to be the kind of guy who respects the old fashion mission of the armed forces. Sometimes that mission is to kill people and break things.
Trump seems to have a fascination with the military. I think Trump fancies himself as a tough guy who never served. And he seems to have a “hero worship” view of the armed forces. But I think that’s fine, because he’ll take input from the generals he’s hired.
Trump may return the military back to its core mission. And this would return the core enthusiasm back to a well defined military.
