So?....Do our military academies now teach that careers and pensions are more important than the military code of honor and an oath to defend the Constitution? I suppose we must now assume that they do.
And...You are correct. Zero did send a message. The message I got was that if the very highest military will not defend the Constitution now, when it is relatively safe for them and their families, they certainly will not in the face of real tyranny. Our honorable, brave, loyal, and highly competent and dedicated troops deserve better leadership that that.
Every soldier in Hitler's army said the same.
