A majority of U.S. military officers have an unfavorable view of President Trump, according to a survey released this week by the Military Times.

1. Being in the Military

brings high standards, hard work, and long hours.

And Trump is a pimp.

2. He's a DISGUSTING insult

to the fine folks who usually don't have time for golf on weekends.

3. I have said this before

The military is a microcosm of America.

White officers (college educated upper middle class whites) - 50/50 when it comes to democrats and republicans

Black/Hispanic officer/enlisted - democrats

White enlisted (blue collar whites with only high school diploma) - republican

Majority of the military is white enlisted so that is why it is considered pro republican

4. They must not like him saying "my generals."

5. Only 3 out of 10 in the military have confidence in their Commander-In-Chief. That's very serious.

12. I would agree..very serious indeed..k and r..nt

[not fooled]

6. Good. Still,

how any military person could support a draft-dodging, ignorant blowhard, who has an agenda to wreck the VA, who is a member of the party that has repeatedly blocked better pay and benefits for soldiers, and who is bringing this country close to fighting more unnecessary wars--after the previous puke president lied the nation into the Iraq debacle--is way, way beyond me.

I guess some people just like the swaggering and posturing. Plus unpatriotic promises to beggar the nation in order to shower unneeded additional billions on the bloated, unaccountable Pentagon.

7. A neutral rating means

I don't like him but I see it as dishonorable to state it so I shall abstain

[mopinko]

8. that's really something considering most military people are pretty

apolitical. at least the ones i know.

9. Unfortunately, I looked at the poll

He may not be very popular among officers, but he's still fairly popular among enlisted.

Troops’ views on Trump have changed very little since he was elected last year.

10. Then nuke the White House already!

if it weren't for the fact that the White House staff would be wiped out along with dipshit, I'd start a campaign right now. Not one of those Republican enablers is worth the salt in the tears I cry when I see what they're doing to our country. Fucking pieces of shit. I've been in a rare mood all day today thinking about those evil bastards.

11. It's tough to respect a 5X republican Draft-Dodging casino hustler

who is in bed with the russian money mob and who pisses on America's POWs and fallen Green Berets. I mean, that republicans have picked a totally unqualified liar and cheat to be their "leader."

You can't blame the officers for disrespecting the orange assclown that the republicans "think" is a "leader." They know better. He's unfit for duty.

13. Marines doesnt surprise me

That’s why they call them grunts.

14. This retired Army O-6

is absolutely thrilled to see the military leadership does not support Trump. Personally I can not stand the miserable excuse of a human being. He represents nothing of my core or my Army's core values. He is an absolute Oxygen Thief.
