You have to wonder about how the military generals took to Pete speech. You work your ass off to get to the position you are at and than you have to travel to an event to hear someone preach to you about being fat and how to do your job when his claim to fame is being a TV personality on Fox news. Man that must burn like hell.

Not to mention that their commander-in-chief is a morbidly obese draft-dodger with no real respect for the integrity or traditions of the military. Trump is really banking heavily on the loyalty of enlisted persennel and officers up to O-6 (colonels and Navy captains).

They're also going to end restrictions on hazing and are going to make it more difficult for women to report sexual assault, so they really want a bunch of brutal thugs in the enlisted ranks, and to discourage women from joining the military. The military is heading towards the near-collapse it experienced in the 1960s.

Well, the conservatives want a throwback to past, they get one - but probably not exactly the one they were expecting...
