Would hope that none of the military gets sucked into supporting Hillary after a slap in the face like this.

That made me laugh.

I won't pretend to speak for everyone, but I don't worry about that happening.

I attended a formal military dining in near the end of Clinton's presidency. At the appropriate time everyone stood with glass in hand for the toasts. Then the announcement was made, "To the President of the United States."

The standard response is, "To our Commander-in-Chief", followed by a sip of wine.
This time, everyone stood there like they were frozen; nobody moved and nobody took a drink. It was the most stunning moment of silence I've ever witnessed.

I think it is safe to assume our military gets "it" when "it" is about the Clintons.
