Meanwhile, the real defenders of freedom — the men and women of the U.S. military — aren’t getting love from Trump. Unsurprising, given the way Trump didn’t even blink at reports that Russia was paying bounties to Afghan troops for American kills. Or that he was impeached for withholding military aid to Ukraine, putting global trust in America’s military at risk. Or that he keeps trying to take millions in military funding — gutting plenty of military projects right here in the D.C. region, including a day care for military kids — to build his wall. There has been waning support for Trump in the military over his four years.
