What you described above also happened in the 1990s, during the Clinton draw-down. We saw, back then, that the Democrats didn't care about the military. The difference from Bush Sr. to Clinton was noticeable.
You came in at a good time, as that was around the time the JCS went before Congress and actually told the truth about the state of the military, retention, and troop moral. The hemorrhage of service members was described as being like "rats abandoning a sinking ship".
President Clinton was in hot water as well. We started to see a reversal from the "draw-down lusts". Before that, JCS kept blowing rainbow colored steam up Congress' rear end about the state of the military that contradicted what we understood to be the actual case. Bush Jr. cared about us and we saw better policies coming down from D.C.
The late '90s weren't to bad, at least as far as I knew being a boot at the time.
Ironically, I had chow with General Jones when he was the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and thought he was gonna take care of the military under Obama, little did I know he's a big part of the current coup against Trump with his ties to the Atlantic Counsel, etc.
Thought the same with General Mattis. Until I found out he got scammed by crazy chick with the blood company. I was out after that.
