"Americans last year still trusted the U.S. military more than any other public institution — as they have for two decades, according to a Gallup Poll."

"The institutions included are organized religion, the Supreme Court, Congress, organized labor, big business, public schools, newspapers, the military, the presidency, the medical system, banks, television news, the police, the criminal justice system, small business, news on the internet, and health management organizations (HMOs)."

"In first place by far last year was the military, with some 74% of respondents reporting that they had a 'great deal' or 'quite a lot' of confidence in our armed forces...In contrast, Congress, organized labor, big business, public schools, newspapers, television news, the criminal justice system, news on the internet, and HMOs all scored below a 30% confidence rating."

Trump and Hegseth will thoroughly politicize the military, and destroy the public's confidence in the institution. Putin will be pleased.
