This. Most people from the military are not people I’d trust to run anything. How many vets end up broke and homeless? A lot

I am being a little harsh, but any constricted percentage of a population will have the same (approximately) standard as the supplying population. Within reason. You don't see billionaires, but you do see well-off guys, people for whom it's a family tradition or have a calling to serve. Those cats are typically okay, but the gross majority, as is the gross majority across the US, are kind of just substandard clowns who only show up to work in the Military because 250 pushups is more of a punishment than losing your job working at the soda jerk for $12.17 an hour.
The Military, especially the Enlisted side of the house, is mostly like hand-holding kindergarten shit. Only about E-6 or E-7 to E-9 are really worth their weight; but those are often times lifers. Most personnel do their 4 or 6 or 8 and dip to go to college. There are outliers, though. I knew an E-5 in the Navy who was a knuckle-dragger on a Boomer, and he was as smart as they come. Just happened to be a Nuclear Engineer in the Navy, which I think is the hardest position to get. It's either right above or right below aviator.

You think this way because military today is mostly made up of the lowest of the low. The importance of service is in staking or at the very least dedicating one's most precious asset, life, to protect the way of life of the nation. People who hate a country wouldn't serve and therefore wouldnt vote nor get voted in. Lemme ask you this, do you think we would be a better nation if military service had the same prestige as working for Goldman Sachs?
I'm not a commie, but I also think markets don't solve all the problems. There are some things markets do that are social suicide. Hence the role for alternative forms of power. Unchecked capitalism, addicted to growth at all costs, is also known as cancer, and it kills the host.
That said, before capitalism gets that bad and scales to consume everything, it's hard to argue against markets and capitalism as one of the best workable systems until that point.
Now De Santis sounds more like a CCP dictator than anything they acused Obama of. But part of the problem is this fight-fire-with-fire social media environment we're now embalmed in. Younger generations have been coddled and turned into snowflakes, incapable of accepting differences of opinion let alone constructive criticism. And the identity politics of shared goods have been replaced with the identity politics of shared enemies and what society owes them (which is jack).
While I appreciate some of the right crazies calling out insular stupidity from the left, two stupids don't make a smart.
True story, bruhs... coming out of high school, I applied for the Naval Academy to hang with seeeemen in Annapolis and play with toy boats on maps for military strategy. Even had a state representative in Illinois at my sponsor.
Backed out and said, "WTF was I thinking?"
Not the dumbest move of my life.
