Do you support the new commander in chief? Why or why not?

I respect the office and always pray that our Commander in Chief be blessed with wisdom, caution, and an understanding of the concept of individual liberty. But, I cannot support this president's liberty-killing policies. In just a few short weeks, he's already subjugated American sovereignty to the whim of foreigners, both diplomatically and through immigration. He has sought to further divide this country through his practice of focusing his programs on what people look like than what they are capable of or entitled to. He is attacking perceived racism with racist policies. He is destroying jobs and energy independence by subordinating this country to European and Asian dictates. He has abolished the rule of law by refusing to deport criminal illegal aliens.

He is doubling down on the reckless policies of President Trump by handing out money as if it is created magically (which I guess it actually is since the advent of the Federal Reserve). He rails against fraternities like Proud Boys (of which I'm a member) while ignoring the continuing violence of Antifa and BLM.

I support the President in the sense that he is the [fraudulently chosen] democratically elected candidate. However, I worry that his rhetoric and the rhetoric of his party is going to fan the flames of anger and resentment by those that have already displayed a willingness to engage in violence to achieve a political objective. When you silence the opposition and put a target on their backs, don't be surprised when panic causes irrational responses.

Maj James Tippins I agree with Maj John Bell that I support the President with the hopes that it results in a better America. I am not crazy about his policies.

I support him just like he and the Democrats supported the Trump Administration. Biden spent the last 47 years in office accomplishing absolutely nothing. I doubt that will change for the positive during the next 4 years. I doubt he will even serve his full term, but will instead be ousted by the VP and the Democrat party. Our Nation is in the most trouble it has been in since the Civil War. I believe his "Vision Of America" is to further push us to a NWO. I see absolutely NO redeeming qualities in his vision for our nation. The only thing I am unsure of is, exactly who is the "Puppet Master"!

Robert E. Lee faced the same dilemma in 1861 when Lincoln offered him command of the Union Army. His loyalty, as he stated, was to Virginia. How differently things might have turned out if he had accepted the post only fiction writers can surmise. Every officer has the option, if his personal or political sense of honor demand that he not follow the sitting President, of resigning. I would not think less of any officer who took that course of action.

I'll continue to attempt to live by The Golden Rule. I don't much care who is in office, but do expect them to abide by their Oath of Office, and not lie to us.

Why is this even a question? I’ve supported 6 Commanders in Chief over my career, stupid policy decisions and all (“let’s fire the Iraqi army” still sticks out the most...).

Not seeing a difference now.

Too much unaddressed evidence of fraud in this election. I keep my oath to the Constitution but do not see Biden as legitimately elected until the violations are addressed.

He had 47 years to help fix the VA and all of the bureaucratic nonsense wrong with it. President Trump did it in less than 4 years. I’ll always love and respect him for that.

You salute the rank, not the man.
If you’re pinning your hopes on any politician, my condolences.

It simply does not matter whether a soldier “supports” the person in the office. As an officer you above all others should know that. It is the duty of soldiers to obey the orders of the civilian leadership appointed over them. Regardless of your personal feelings or their political party. It is the bedrock of our military. We serve the people of the United States through their duly elected representative, The President.
