So NPR can't give us a single quote from an actual servicemember saying they're "unsettled"? That's pretty convenient.
NPR's been reporting what military officers and analysts are saying for months, but sure, keep pretending this is all made up while we're literally in another war.
If there's real disquiet in the military right now, NPR should name names instead of hiding behind "according to sources" - let these officers go on record if they feel that strongly about it.
Yeah no shit, maybe don't use the military as your personal political tool and treat soldiers like disposable props for your ego trip.
Trump didn't start that war, Biden did, so maybe blame the right president for once.
You idiot low IQ MAGAT, how did Biden start a war 2 years after he left office?
Look I get that people are upset but we NEED a strong military response at the border, that's literally the whole reason I voted for Trump in the first place!! The "disquiet" should be about why we're wasting resources overseas when we have an invasion happening right here in New Mexico.

NPR really trying hard to make Trump look bad when literally every military leader supports having a strong presence in the Middle East!! This isn't new and it's not his fault.
So why'd Biden pull out of Afghanistan then if everyone wanted us there?
