When they're talking about the recruitment shortfalls there's a lot of veterans, like myself, who got out in the past 20 years and when you're asked about your service you give an honest answer. No one wants to join when they fail to take care of you, treat you with dignity and they need to look in the mirror and make cultural changes from the top down. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I remember going through NCO school in the Army, and during a lesson on the military's role in the political process, our instructor told us that the US Military is strictly apolitical and impartial to the political process, nonetheless; he also said the US military is the steward of the Constitution and democracy. Although we swore allegiance to the President, our true mandate was to protect and defend the US Constitution and its democratic values. When we asked him to clarify what he meant by "the US Military is the steward of the Constitution and democracy," he paused, thought for a second, and then said, "Let me put it this way: although the US Military has no say in the political process of the country, when we raised our right hand, we swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and as leaders, we have to be ready to do what we have to, to uphold that oath"... we all looked at each other knowing fully well what he meant. I'm glad this train of thought goes all the way to the top Military leadership as well.

[@strft]

As a veteran I would have like to see the General reflect more on the recent recruiting failures and lack of faith in our military.

It is also caused by the total disrespect from the present GOP politicians. And when you look at Camp LeJeune, it is hard to be comfortable with even stateside living facilities. The GOP do not care about the live's of military families. I honestly don't think most men and women are designed to be away for their families for 10-12 years. That toll is too big. We did not want a draft. So those who do no service never even notice that we have been at war for thirty years. And now we have a cult of rule breakers and entitled people mixed in with people who love crazy consiracy theories that have been fed by fox and such. Of course , the same could be about the police. Some people do sacrifice for their country either as a fire fighter , soldier or police officer. Now even doctors and teachers are being disrespected by the GOP, so we have the GOP has totally gone off the rails.

Who? The traitor who called China and promised he would be on China's side if the US President was hostile to them? That piece of garbage?!

[@specialsause949]

​@quentinpugh1969 I'm no Trump supporter, but I have to agree that the general is objectively a traitor if it is true that he contacted China behind the back of a sitting US President to assure them that he wouldn't follow any command to attack if given. I don't care for Trump. However, as a general, it is your duty to follow the orders of the Commander in Cheif. I would argue he should have been court marshaled and that way there could have been a court case where he could defend himself and his actions. The only reason people don't agree with him being a traitor I'd because they hate Trump. They hate Trump so much that they can't look at stuff objectively. Let me ask you this question, if that same general had done the same thing to Obama, would you consider him a traitor? What if he did it right now to Biden? The general doesn't just get to decide he isn't going to follow orders because he doesn't like the president. If he feels Trump did something unethical then he needs to have brought it to congress where the house could begin the articles of impeachment and the senate gets to vote for removal. If you're going to say "well Republicans wouldn't vote against Trump in the other impeachments" and I will say that is correct. Impeachment is a political process and not a criminal one. If a senator doesn't vote to impeach and the people disagree, that senator gets voted out. That's how this goes. The president is the executive branch. He controls the military and the enforcement arm of the government. As a general, he doesn't get to ignore orders without consequences. At least he shouldn't have. Do you know why? What happens with a republican/conservative general ignores a Democrat president and essentially collides with a foreign enemy? The precedent has been set. People are only okay with it because it confirms their narrative. Nobody can look at things objectively anymore. By the way, I'm not endorsing Trump or the republican party. I'm not saying what Trump did was good or bad. I'm not even saying what the general did was the wrong thing to do. What I'm saying is he went behind the back of the sitting president and essentially collided with a foreign enemy. Again, if what was alleged is true. I honestly haven't followed whether he admitted to any of it or not.
