    Ok? So what? You’re legally allowed to but don’t expect people to like your for it.

        Cool, shit talking the military is still certainly a choice if you expect them to back you up.

          Fair point, I personally couldn’t care less if the U.S. Military supported me or not if I can’t exercise my free speech then I don’t think it even matters. Again that’s my personal beliefs.

          They need to be held to a higher standard of behavior by the people. So they must be critiqued it is crucial in a functional democracy.

          Is that what’s happen in reality? Not really, it’s very politically motivated right now.

            Sure, I don’t disagree, but if you REALLY think there a Nazi, Fascist dictatorship coming into power, the military is someone you want on your side.

            And the military, particularly combat arms, tends to be more conservative than liberal.

              Oh Yeah, I definitely can see what you’re saying

              I was trying to explain to a friend why alienation of fellow Americans is a bad move for any side that isn’t in power.

              Realistically I don’t think the majority of conservatives or even maga conservatives are actually nazis or even believe in the pillars that establish fascism. I’m sure there are some, but I bet it’s less than 5% of that base.

                Agreed, the rhetoric across the country has gotten out of control and I don’t see it getting better any time soon, unfortunately.

        You like them trashing the military?

        Cool, don’t expect the military to support you.

            “Why won’t the military support us in elections or otherwise? It’s crazy! Maybe we haven’t insulted them enough!”

                  Your point was that Donald Trump was on record talking huge shit about the military several times? Or was your point that he dodged the draft?

                    Nope, the point is the left calls anything and everyone they don’t like as Nazi’s or Fascists.
