Anecdotal accounts (excuse me - lies) such as "someone somewhere said x to me" are the lifeblood of the GOP and their ilk. Reality is never, ever, on their side. So they make shit up. Just like Reagan's repulsive "welfare queen" bit.

Now, if in fact "someone" in our military did say that (and believed it), they would have no business being a part of the US military. Back to Basic for made up person.

Our military is not a military of idiots - so for Mike Johnson to somehow conjure one at random is as preposterous as is his cynical abuse of the Israel/ Gaza situation in order to stump for defunding the IRS.

26 years a mustang (enlisted to officer) and a spec ops team leader. I can honestly say that the military is full of self willed idiots. That is why the majority of military were, probably still are fully inclined to the right.Not literal idiots, but brainwashed by peers and ignorant of reality.

The culture is monastic,and closed,your friends are the people you work with, little exposure to the real world, I'm sure that Fox and social media has polluted many a military mind.
