I didn't make my point well enough. I'm going to copy a response to another commenter here and hopefully that helps.

The point is people can hand waive a lot to feel better about the world they live in. I'm not going to complain because it took this other thing to get them to the realization. I'm just going to welcome them in. In fact this is the exact kind of meme I would run if I was trying to push people away from the BDS movement.

That's weird then because Army and Navy really aren't the pro-trump branches. Marines are on top for some reason, probably because they're already kind of a cult. Then Air Force who pushes Christian Evangelism in the ranks. Then Army and lastly the Navy. The Army specifically hates trump for his actions as president. When he stole school funding from their kids and denied people were getting injured by Iranian rockets. To be clear this doesn't mean the branches don't still lean conservative. But if trump ordered them to go against all of their trained ethics they'd tell him to pound sand.

They say with zero evidence.

That's where he found his anti BLM group. He got a bunch of federal agents.

They aren't anti 2a. They're anti extremist interpretation.

That will take years though. And even once it's done the majority of the military will be ill trained and ill equipped.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Curious are you surrounded by Marines? Because all the other branches poll about 30 approve /70 disapprove on Trump specifically. And the military has told him he can't order this stuff before.

If he's president by then it won't matter.

Agnostic or spiritual.

I think it was more along the lines of, "I'm not sure I believe they're actually targeting kids." And then, "oh my God the UN has video evidence of Israel targeting peace keepers."

I don't think most people are okay with killing kids. The hurdle is getting them to realize it is happening.

A highly trained soldier knows what they're supposed to do because they know what they aren't supposed to do.

The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
