It's not only Pedonald who doesn't give 2 shits about the military, we can add Whiskey Pete, every Service Secretary, and every member of the Joint Chiefs!

General Caine has been marching in lockstep with the Trump since he came back from retirement, and I doubt if the other members of the Joint Chiefs are any better!

As for Congress, they've been allowing Trump to do what he wants and they won't do anything to stop him!

The US military is now being commanded by officers who are politicians wearing uniforms!
