    That’s his training. The military mentally conditions these men to respond to stuff like this in this way: absolute, unyielding, expected. He is not going to be able to conceive of a different way because his training was that thorough. That’s probably a good thing. My dad was in the military also and when you ask him about military stuff, his personality goes into soldier mode like this too.

    However I will say, having met modern young men who are soldiers - idk that they got the same training at all.

      I’m not the other poster. But we already have examples of the military standing up to Trump during his previous term. We know he’s going to have to wade into the leadership pool to find sympathetic leaders.
