Notice I said 0-7 and above, which is General / Admiral grade. It's an insult to call flag grade officers spineless yes men - that is, it's an insult to yes men, I mean, they take offence to being called a General.
There's either something that happens when an officer goes from Col / Captain to General / Admiral, such as the removal of the spine and balls, or maybe they were always like that, and now are just showing their true selves.
My point was, don't be swayed by any "Revolt of the Generals!!!" stories, which the media breathlessly claims every time there's a Republican president who has disagreements with former military officers. Happened under Bush as well, then for the 8 years of Obama, the theme is "Civilian Control of the Military!!!", to counter any criticism of the guy they all voted for and donated money to.
To say that the military would like Biden over Trump because he'll listen to them is a tenuous argument. At this point Biden would listen to anyone who put a pudding cup in front of him. Then he'd soil his diapers and sit there in his own filth until his wife comes to help shuffle him off.
Trump has let the military actually fight and win, with various local support, against ISIS. Supposedly the point too far for "Maddog Karen" Mathis was when Trump then wanted to remove troops from Syria, our objective of destroying ISIS having been accomplished.
Old boy was quiet as a church mouse when Obama didn't get a Status of Forces agreement in place with Iraq so had to withdraw a much larger number of forces, but taking them out of Syria after doing what we were in there to do was apparently too much for him. So he ran off into the waiting and open arms of the media, ready to heap praise on him and forgive him for serving in the Trump administration, if only he'd say something bad about Trump.
