Radicalization of elite military members.

[BlueStreak]

My point was; For certain roles in the US military, they seek out certain personality types and exploit them. The True Believer, the uber-Patriot, real "God and Country" types who live for the hyperbole and the real reasons for going to war are just excuses to go kill Commies, Towelheads, Krauts, Nips, Gooks, Russkis or whatever the anti-American Jesus hater du Jour is. Oftentimes such individuals make it pretty far up the chain. They fancy themselves Soldiers of God.

So, does it really come as any surprise that a few of these folks fell in behind Trump with all the other nuts?

I've been disappointed by groupthink Trump support by fellow former military members, it seems to follow mainly combat arms members. Perhaps a tolerance if not advocacy of "law-'n-order" authoratarianism with a bigoted subtext.

Tells the story of Veterans for Responsible Leadership, and the organized efforts to push back against Trumpism is the military and among veterans. Lots of ckear-thinking and effective action--the ideals and competence one admires most about the military culture.
