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.

He should be telling them to gear up to take Hillary out if she wins by a crooked election. We the People DO NOT WANT Hillary PERIOD. There will be a coup like the world has never seen.
It is the military obligation to overthrow tyranny when the republic officially dies
Direct quote from the article—“Disturbed by the possibility of revolt within the armed forces due to lingering tensions regarding the election, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford urged servicemen to remember their duty is to their nation first and only secondarily to any political party:”
The American people have had enough of corruption, self serving, traitorous activities, incompetence, and malfeasance in government. Active or veteran, our duty is to the nation to protect and preserve the Constitution. If by voter fraud, corruption or by subterfuge the election is stolen or the process suspended, our duty is to the people and the Constitution. That duty is clear.
Sorry dude i am a vet and i will defend America
I agree with almost everything in the article. We have all been betrayed in favour of international banking and corporate inerests. One thing I need to mention though, the right does not get the ideology of all the current politicians. Please stop calling them “progressives”. All of them are “neoliberals”. In case you you haven’t had a chance to find out what that term means: According to James Pfeiffer, neoliberal emphasis has been placed on free markets and privatization which has been tied to the “new policy agenda” in which NGOs seen as being able to provide better social welfare than governments. International NGOs have been promoted to fill holes in public services created by the World Bank and IMF through their promotion of Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) which reduce government health spending, and which Pfeiffer criticized as unsustainable. The reduced health spending and the gain of the public health sector by NGOs causes the local health system to become fragmented, undermines local control of health programs and contributes to local social inequality between NGO workers and local individuals.
Opponents of neoliberalism commonly argue the following points:
• Globalization can subvert nations’ ability for self-determination.
• The replacement of a government-owned monopoly with private companies, each supposedly trying to provide the consumer with better value service than all of its private competitors, removes the efficiency that can be gained from the economy of scale.
• Even if it could be shown that neoliberal capitalism increases productivity, it erodes the conditions in which production occurs long term, i.e., resources/nature, requiring expansion into new areas. It is therefore not sustainable within the world’s limited geographical space.
• Exploitation: critics consider neo-liberal economics to promote exploitation and social injustice.
• Negative economic consequences: Critics argue that neo-liberal policies produce economic inequality.
Thats easy for people to say when the constitution is being challenged and your president takes back moneys already distributed to you. It has to be hard to keep your concentration
Wouldn’t be a revolt it would be them suppoting the constitution as they swore to
Maybe you should have stood by them instead of throwing them to the wolves.
Good!
