    Barely… They don’t even condemn the people who did it. They say it was “unfortunate.” Give me a fucking break.

    Imagine if this was a Democrat.

      The US military is very apolitical. They don’t get involved with campaigns or politics. I think it may actually be illegal for an active serviceman to make statements with any political leanings. Certainly in uniform I think.

      So for them to say this much is actually a big deal.

        Agreed. It even says in the article that the army stays out of politics and such a statement was a very rare occurrence. So we can infer the fact that they made a statement at all carries quite a bit of weight.

          Actually, surprisingly not badly. US generals like Milley took precautions to prevent Trump from doing even more disastrous things. Military leadership is generally respectable.

      their campaign would have ended and you’d still be hearing about it in 2028
