Donald Trump brought on the general’s when he started in office….
But ended up firing all of them …
In the end?
The ones left over had to show their allegiance to their oath of office against a commander-in chief who wanted them show ‘loyalty’ to him and do things they believed where NOT in the best interest of their country and would drag them into politics…
Today the new Commander-in-Chief is going to visit his general’s (and civilians) and listen to them…

The poll, issued a month before the election, showed that 43 percent of active-duty members of the military said they would vote for Biden while 37 percent said they were voting for Trump.
“By the end, Biden was getting a plurality of military and it was even stronger with officers,” a senior adviser to Biden recalled on Tuesday. The adviser attributed Biden’s success to “the fact that they knew him as an experienced guy who was a moderate and not a radical.”….
