A lot of the military are fully aware of how the US fucks them, but still support it as a potential force for good. A majority hated Trump during his 1st term, and many will leave if he tries to use them again civilians during his 2nd.
US military is used against civilians all the time already? Syria and Yemen are the most recent examples. And that’s ignoring the military ‘aid’ sent to commit genocide on Palestinians.
Absolutely true. It’s funny that at a cursory glance military indoctrination seems to create mindless followers and yes men. In reality modern military ethos forces members to think critically, beyond orders and find intent. You end up forming bonds with people and creating a sense of “Service before self”. So you tend to think about the tribe more than yourself. At the end of the day the job is to protect the idea of a nation. No allegiance to any one political party or person. But a nation as a tribe.
So, you end up with a lot of service members that love their country and hate their politicians. After all, the politicians sign the papers that make people die.

Fair. I meant American civilians, as only they get to be considered full people sometimes 😒
