The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

I think we can imagine how the military feels about it.

The US military puts their lives on the line and will die for this country.
Without thinking about it. They know it is the job.
They will suffer any kind of injury for this country. It is the job.
The families know it. And accept it. And put their lives on hold for the job.

And to have a US presidential candidate threaten to execute active duty
military is totally beyond the pale. And for military families to get death threats.

Trump has gone too far this time.
Way too far. He has crossed a big line.
We shall see what happens.
