Nearly half (45%) say he doesn’t listen enough to military leaders in making national security decisions, and a similar share say they have little trust in him to make the right decisions about the use of military force.

The other 57% might agree with him because they lean Republican and vote R no matter what. And besides these numbers are about veterans not active duty soldiers, who I’m sure will think twice about shooting civilians. Most of these guys just want to do their service and collect the post-military benefits. Having an ok opinion about Trump does equate to total obedience to the point you’ll engage in a coup. Most people want the status quo— a Trump led dictatorship is a radical as a Communist America.
