Eliot Cohen famously said after civ-mil friction during the Clinton Admin it was important for Bush to be elected in 2000 so the military learned to hate Republicans again. I suspect a similar dynamic developing now.

But imagine the military starts showing greater partisan skepticism. And maybe slight majority of people think the military failed its missions and its ethical obligations. Suddenly they’re not treated like benign scenery at sporting events, recruiters aren’t welcome in as many youth spaces.

And then if lawmakers lose their fear of being seen as anti-American or anti-troop for opposing military budgets and programs? Suddenly it’s an institution that has to account for itself and sell itself in a way it hasn’t had to do in decades. Probably a healthy development. Scary for the DoD.

Did Victor Glover attend Cal Poly on a wrestling scholarship & later play on the football team? Yup. Was he a prime agitator in forcing the administration to create a DEI plan of action? Yup. Was he part of a group of men selected to inform students about rape & sexual assault? YESSIR
