There are certain things in life you don't do, like taunt a tiger or call a Master Chief soft.
The reality is there's less trickle down in the military chain of command than there is in economics.

The NCOs are the military's CNS. From a rank & file perspective, nobody really gives a fuck what the guys with the shoulder ornaments have to say.

“We have a very muscular civil society in the United States. We have come this far toward authoritarianism primarily because civil society has not pushed back. Stephen Miller and Trump are much bolder now because we let them do it. Power is being surrendered.”

Armed troops in US streets? For many, Trump makes that seem normal.
Armed troops patrol streets in the nation’s capital, and many residents shrug their shoulders. President Trump’s ability to normalize such dramatic actions is at play – but isn’t the end of the story.
