So it can't stand because what it is doing is getting at the heart of how our civilian leadership controls the military and in turn how the military serves that civilian leadership.

And so what they have done is done their utmost to undermine that.

And it's the pattern that we see with the Democrats at this time, right?

It gets back to their Leninist tactics, right, to advance what they call revolutionary defeatism, right?

They want things to be as bad as possible.

The worse, the better for the Democrats to undermine Trump, to checkmate him, to fetter him at every step.

as a way, of course, of undermining the U.S.

So what they're doing is, again, the most successful civil military relationship that's existed in history has been U.S.

civil military relationship.

It's gone through ups and downs, Steve, as you mentioned.

We could more recently recall Vietnam and the stresses that Vietnam placed on the U.S.

military and the aftermath of Vietnam.

in the 1970s, for example, where we talked about a hollow force.

The army rebuilt itself, as did all of the armed services, because they were supremely professional.

So what these Sikhs are doing is undermining that.

And that is something which is unpatriotic.

That is something which is supremely dangerous.

And it is a way of putting the U.S.

military on the course of becoming a politicized force.

Like you would have in China.
