    Enlisted men are one thing, officers quite another. And the higher you go, the more their attitude in on the straight and narrow. You’re not getting promotioned if you’re publicly political.

    The rank and file can support Trump (privately) all they like. The sorts who act political are held back or kicked out long before attaining rank.

    tl;dr: The American military is extraordinarily proud of being apolitical.
