When you enlist, your career is not based on your politics. I don't want someone who specializes in plumbing, to be put in charge of weapons repair. These people reached their ranks and their accolades because they are really good at their job. GOP, Dem or Independent, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they vote at all. Now some Barbie, who has proven she can't win an election, is advising on who should be let go. She has a degree in journalism and no experience in the military or security. WTH! As my grandmother would say, we're going to hell in a handbasket.
