Half of active-duty service members are unhappy with Trump, new Military Times poll shows

But Trump is still more popular than Obama was among troops.

Without getting into a Trump good or bad pissing match(or the impeachment), this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, least of all anyone who's served. The military has ALWAYS been pretty evenly divided politically amongst its members. Anyone who says different has either never served or is lying about their own experience. Throughout my whole active duty career, politics were always led to heated discussions, especially amongst the NCOs AND commissioned officers. And to a lesser degree amongst the E6 and below. It basically is an even cross section of the civilian community it serves. The comments underneath the article itself are nothing but a bunch of trolls (on both sides) who are expressing views they may truly hold but are also expressing experiences they don't really have.

I enjoyed my time in, but got into more leadership positions this was always in the back of my mind. Since my job was involved in administration, I saw first hand many good highly qualified people find themselves in an unlucky position and see their life get ruined.

We made this film with no funds and need some help to be able to cover fees at film festivals and public events to be able to share this message.

Director Chris Smiley and Producer Mike Hanes, an Iraq War combat veteran, challenge the glorification of war and violence in our culture while exposing the propaganda of the Miramar military air show. This air show is one of many outlets where war and violence is given a warm, inviting, and exciting aura. The utter horror and brutality is never understood by so many. Promoting a positive image of war and violence to people, especially children, is extremely dangerous. There is absolutely nothing cool, exciting, or heroic about ripping limbs, burning flesh, or shredding the organs of another human being. We need the public to understand the horrific nature of war and violence to be able to stand firm and vigorously question calls for war.

As a veteran myself I can say this is pretty spot on. While I've been to the Miramar Air Show a couple times and enjoyed the aerobatics, I was always disturbed by site of kids checking some of these weapons out and wanting to grow up one day to actually use them. War may be a necessary reality some times but it should NEVER be glorified under any circumstances.
