Well I come at this as a veteran who also spent a career in federal civil service. I see it differently. I did leave my position at a high level in the IC during Trump's first year in office...I saw him as the most significant insider threat the U.S. has ever seen, and it had a huge impact on my life and every day watching what goes on kills me. But even as a civil servant I participated in protests and I still do today. I get that lots of civilians will see it exactly the way he intended them to, there's no way to explain my view to them, they'd have to live it. But there will be more military holding my view and more non-mil/vets holding the other view. Nothing to be done about that🤷 He got what he wanted but he's not doing any favors to the military by doing this in uniform, it plays into the narratives of people who would love to paint Service members as political actors. That's not good.
