The hostile feelings going around seem to be spreading to the military, so much so that the brass have had to go out of their way to address them.
Thanks in no small part to the condescending rhetoric of President Obama and his fellow liberals, political discourse has plunged to unprecedented depths of hatred and intolerance. Instead of trying to refute the arguments put forward by Donald Trump and Republicans, progressives seek to discredit them by calling them names and claiming that they pose a direct threat to their fellow Americans.
The fruit of this toxic harvest is a highly-polarized environment in which long-standing, non-partisan institutions find themselves embroiled in conflict as they break down along political lines. It’s sad to think this is what it has come to, but believe it or not, it may get even worse if something isn’t done soon.

I wish all US Soldiers would Come Home

Yes.
United we stand divided we fall. That’s what Obamas Trojan horse wants.
Hence the movie Red Dawn…. they expect them to turn against them this is why the UN will do for them so be ready to fight on our own soil
A serviceman can not obey a direct order that is a criminal act.
Like take up arms against Americans
There is an unfortunate trend in the US that parallels Spain in the 1930s! We may push the limit too far and need the military to restore our republic!
As a 30 year retiree from the USAF, I have every confidence in our military forces. From the first days of Basic Military Training, they are taught that the military is under civilian authority. They take an oath to uphold and defend the U. S. Constitution and to obey all LAWFUL orders of those superior in rank. Those two key facets guarantee the safety of our constitutional republic. The first, acknowledging civilian authority, is the reason why we have never experienced a military coup d’etat. The second is why American forces would never fire into a crowd of American civilians if ordered to do so. (I can’t conceive of a situation where I would consider that a lawful order.)
However, I do believe that if Hillary wins the election (as perhaps Gen. Dunford apparently thinks is a possibility) and she pursues her personal, private agenda against the wishes of millions of Americans, she may foment a civil war much worse than the last one.
