    I think closer to the later. These aren’t guys that enlisted last year, or after the election. They are career guys, and have worked with a few presidents i imagine.

    I remember hearing chatter about the deep state, and I’ll tell you what, Im glad that the power in our government is so diffuse. Career people are invested in their work for the long run.

      While true, the military has been reorganized under this president. Removing anyone that wasn’t a white man and renaming anything that wasn’t a white man, that was the first steps of removing potential dissent. It doesn’t need to be a huge number of sycophants, but a few of them could make things very bad for us.
