It’s close but I’ve definitely noticed a difference between officers and enlisted on how they view Trump.

The combat arms branches of the Army are full of southerners that love their confederate flags. It's the only political thing I have absolutely no problem confronting people about at work because the confederacy literally fought the US Army so that they could keep having slaves. Confronted over treason AND EO/racist bullshit? All they can do is sulk about it.

The officer and enlisted divide seems a lot.... stricter?.... in the Marines and Navy compared to the Army. The Air Force on the other hand will have an E2 talking to a LTC about how their weekend was. Just my impressions from my brief experiences working with the other services.

That's originally an instagram post and there's actually a lot of recent meme pages started by bitter and jaded officers over the past year or so and that's one of them. I think this one is my favorite

We used to have a Ft. Sherman, Panama too, I lived there for 3 years as a kid. Army officers seem to be almost universally Union Army fanboys, don't think I've ever met one with outspoken confederate sympathies, even ones from the South like myself. Don't think I've ever heard an NCO or enlisted Soldier discus anything related to the Civil War. Comes up a lot in junior officer professional development though, especially for the cavalry scouts. Every cavalry officer in the Army knows about John Buford and his role during Gettysburg.

Slim Pickens posted:Yeah, they trace it back to frontiersmen patrolling between trading posts and the French and Indian war with Roger's Rangers, but bring up any raiding group as ancestors to the modern regiment (francis marion "the swamp fox" in the revolutionary war etc), and of course all the modern patches and DUI are related to the Rangers in europe and merrill's marauders in SE Asia. There were some rangers on the union side, but they barely get any mention in the Ranger history they teach in RIP/RASP. Fort Benning is in the middle of hick territory, checks out.

Well you've got the battalion commander spouting a bunch of empty praise, the sergeant major threatening mass punishment, and the major that really, really wants to make his and his bosses OERs look good by making sure all of those boxes are green. Basically every battalion command team in the Army.
