That’s right, and this is what 3rd world dictatorships do. They always control the thinking and culture of the military to be certain when called upon to do evil things to their own populace, they will.
There are some “experts” here who feel it is because republicans have been talking bad about the government and military that young people won’t enlist.
My advice to conservatives who are currently in the military is to keep your nose clean, finish out your time and get the ■■■■ out. For those who may be considering serving, don’t! There are plenty of other opportunities out there.
