    The real problem are the troops (presumably ~25-30%) who love the Department of War and are glad we’re finally putting those woke pansies in their place

      It is the kind of work environment that attracts people just itching to use the terms “war”, “woke”, and “pansies” in the same sentence.

      Not saying anything about you, in particular. Just identifying the accuracy of your characterization.

      I think those who want to be part of a professional military are not primarily interested in the use of force, wars of choice, or projecting power. They are interested in deterrence, discipline, and a duty to protect.
