how can you put your troops through hell for the last 15+ years and then treat them like that (juxtapose with Trump doing good for V.A)

this is a absolute disgrace to our Country and to our men and women who fought for our freedom. How can the veterans/military for Biden not have a issue with this happening to their fellow veterans/military? They are so brainwashed they can't even speak up for what right and what has happened because it doesn't fit in their agenda. Disgusting.

Veteran here, you can bet that the ones that are paying attention are pissed. This is unprecedented for the military. USCMJ restricts or limits how an individual may advocate on behalf of a candidate. There are certain rules, so don't expect uniformed protests. Also don't expect to hear, "as an active service member I oppose this or that". It's against rules and regulations.

Trump is and will be Commander in Chief.

"President elect" is not declared until votes are submitted by the Electoral College. Military does not obey orders from president elect, only from incumbent.

The Top Brass reports directly to the CiC. Enlisted and officers follow the chain of command.

Veteran here

Are you one of those veterans that likes or dislikes when someone says, thank you for your service?

I usually don't say I am veteran unless its a topic like this in which I can shine some light based on my limited knowledge. Also, it just feels weird when people say "thank you for your service". I appreciate the sentiment though.
