For years I have gone to the Army-Navy football game with a friend who went to West Point (Go Army!). Trump went exactly once. I think the reason he never went back was the retired officers booing him. Maybe that combined with the order given to the cadets and midshipmen not to react to him.
Lot of people on here seem to assume that the US military is basically as bad as US police when it comes to “being totally dominated by frothing MAGA freaks.” This is absolutely NOT the case.

They do NOT like this guy, is I guess where I'm going.

Do you think it was it the “suckers and losers” comments or the insinuation that they’d do war crimes if he asked or his overall vibe

(d) all of the above? I think it includes the way he treated Gold Star families.

My experience of military service members is that nearly all of them take that ‘oath to defend the Constitution’ thing very seriously. I think the fact that he took a similar oath and clearly doesn’t give a shit about it probably bothers them.

In 2020 he did everything he could to exclude APO ballots. He knows.

I wouldn’t wanna test this theory. One reason being that so many LE officers are ex-military.

Lots of service members I've known have been fairly conservative. However. They also have a very low tolerance for stupidity, and no patience for shirkers. I imagine it is a very hard sell to get them to like a draft dodger who regularly asked why we can't nuke hurricanes.
