Trump always talks about how much the military loves him but they, like most of America, do not..

from Quora...



Trump brags about how much the Armed Forces love him. What did he think when he heard that three times as much military donations have been made to Democratic candidates than to him, and even worse, that they donated 186K to Sanders to 113K to Trump?

How could they? He has disrespected the military top brass by his ill thought out pardons, sent our troops overseas again, lied about their injuries there, belittled those with PTSD, lied about the ‘big raises’ for vets and joked about buying a purple heart. After lying about his bone spurs.

Interesting...

I would presume that there is some push back due to him not ending any? of the conflicts in the ME... And potentially provoking new conflicts...

Yes, but I have had a little bit of input from a couple army kids of local origin.

According to them both, a while ago, trump trumpeted a awesome pay increase for enlisted personnel.
the only increase that showed up was the one already in the pipeline via President Obama.

also the pull out from north side of the ME leaving the Kurds to the tender hands of the Turks and the Russians to walk in and occupy the bases we were using and built in most cases.

Also the Gallagher issue truly PO the higher ranking members of the military..

So a cluster of bad moves rather then one single issue..

But I am removed from the military so some one will label this as only hear say..
