He says the Military has gotten weak and mocks them. Lloyd Austin whom Trump replaced with a FOX entertainment anchor served in the military from 1975-2016 as a 4 star general holding several high ranking positions working his way up to Secretary of Defense. So that would point to me that he believes the military has been weak for 50 years. Then again when he was called to service he said his little footsies hurt and dodged the draft. So what he really knows of the interworking and what our soilders go through for training is nothing.
Or, he simply doesn't want any competent military members to stand in his way while he's breaking laws.
I might not know much about the military other than having lots of ex-military family, but I know enough about flying and in particular, helicopters to know you don’t get to fly that sort of kit without a LOT of hard work and skill. ‘Rotary wing’ pilots are absolutely batshit crazy. This sinister DEI dogwhistle is abhorrent.
You don't fly a helicopter, you constantly avoid crashing one.
Lloyd Austin would not have deployed troops on US soil. That's a major Trump goal.
