My sixth grade teacher, an evangelical Christian, posted video of Trump at the Army/Navy

game, commenting it was great to see him get the proper respect. I couldn't resist pointing out that they would be busted for booing or anything like that. He is still technically Commander in Chief. I'm wondering if Trump goes too far, would the military even follow his orders? That was probably the only public event besides his rallies where we wouldn't hear a chorus of boo's.

1. Those in the military didn't balk at bombing innocents Iraqis, Vietnamese,

etc. People go into military expecting to follow orders and there are more than a few who are racists, fascists, would love to herd those not like them into cages, authoritarian, and worse. Plus, there are civilians who would support that.

Not sure which side prevails, but it wouldn’t be pretty.

4. no doubt about the racists, but

did you know 60% of the US military are minorities?
Iraqis and Vietnamese were shooting at us too. I dont know anything about bombing innocents but I do object to the characterization of our service people "not balking at bombing " them.
Gotta call BS on this post Hoyt.

10. Christ. We were occupying their country, I'd expect them to shoot at us.

11. I can't find a link

but I’m sure I read a poll that has the military supporting Biden over Trump. Whatever the case, I have much more faith in the loyalty of the military to the constitution than the police’s.

2. A relative responded to that Facebook post saying

"fearless and 4 more years"..... she is a self-righteous little evangelical Nazi ...went to see his rallies, took her kids out of school to attend them and took the kids out of school to listen to Limbaugh interview Trump🙄 Fucking deranged asshole!

6. Kiddo was there. He was ordered to clap.

He said the cheering was a joke and immediately after everyone did their ordered response, the crowd was eerily quiet. There were very few actual supporters in that crowd. Mostly, the cadets were pissed he wasn't wearing a mask. Leadership matters to them.

8. "ordered to clap"

image the reaction from the right if they were ordered to clap for Obama?

7. Obviously, you turned out to be

Smarter than your teacher!

9. We know the military refused when Trump tried to go "too far."

More about that will no doubt be coming out someday as current military retire and write their biographies. Trump is CIC, of course, until 12:01 January 20.

Don't imagine she or he was pleased at having the notion that at least here he could count on being respected blasted. Good.

12. You're only in sixth grade?

13. I wish. That would have been 1972. He was a great guy back then. He moved down south and

seems to have gone full-on RW over the years. Maybe he always was but was professional enough in the class room to not reveal that.
