    My family has a few people who just got out of the military.

    I explicitly pointed out that Trump called them, and their grandfather (whom they claim to love very much) suckers.

    Their response was, more or less, “Yeah but Trump is better because he has balls!”.

    The majority of people in the military are, in fact, suckers.

      From experience, you’re not wrong. Let’s be honest, being a service member doesn’t separate them from their faults as humans. You take an undereducated kid from Mississippi and make him a Soldier, they’re still that undereducated kid with no critical reasoning skills.

        Please take my critical thinking away, I don’t like it very much anymore. Seem like it’s the only thing keeping me from happiness lately.

      The military actually rejected Trump pretty hard. Enough conservatives in the military refused to vote for him in 2020 that it went blue for the first time since at least the Dixie Flip in the sixties. They aren’t the group you should be worried about.
