I’m a combat vet too and maintain contact with active duty as well as provide firearm and CBQ instruction to guard and active personnel and I do not see 75% patriotically minded individuals. Maybe your number is skewed because of your choice on who you talk to but I deal with a lot of troops whether I like them or not.

Sure there’s a few good ones that are pissed off but most of them would just shut up and do whatever they’re told no matter what they’re told. Everyone has a bunch of kids to feed, child support checks, or were ripped of on a car purchase, or their family lives on post... they aren’t sacrificing anything to rock the boat. You can’t rely on internal military support the same way you can’t rely on law enforcement now. These institutions have been infiltrated and compromised.
