I support the new commander in chief, no matter what political party they belong. We have to stop fighting and support the commander until if need be a new one replaces them. We are never going to have a perfect candidate that everyone likes all of their policies, but that is what is so powerful about voting. Not just for the president, but ALL elected officials because they are the ones that make the most changes in what happens in our communities, counties, states, and as a nation. If they don't have the ideals you believe in, find a candidate that will and fight for that candidate. I think it is becoming more and more obvious as the days go on, the corrupt nature some representatives have that they tell their constituents what they want to hear, only to leave them in the dark and cold. Lets use our freedom of speech to speak out against corrupt representatives, from the smallest to the biggest.

This question is a bait, if the lower enlisted cant talk about this, then the higher officers shouldn't either. The standard is for everyone, as well as sir. you have only told the lower enlisted not to talk about this subject, besides the 1sg who brought up the same topic.

I’ve supported every single president in my 23 year career. It’s what I swore to do. Just not sure our current POTUS is calling the shots. He cannot even remember the names of his cabinet secretaries are, or which department those secretaries oversee.

would not take a bullet for him, his running mate or 3rd in line.... not sure after that...
He is the President of the United States. As such he is the Commander-in-Chief. While he is in office I will support him, within reason. I hope he will do well, if not, I will not vote for him.

In principle only. Some truly destructive policies are coming out of his office, not to mention the trampling of the U.S. Constitution they swore an oath to. I truly hope for a turnaround and some good things to come, but as of now, that seems like a pipe dream. One thing I will certainly not do is follow the trend I saw from 2016 to present; daily attacks on his supporters, generalizing, personal attacks and other divisive nonsense.

Remember that Country and the constitution come before any President, as they are temporary... so why would we not support a sitting President.. they may be A-holes in one way or another and we as individuals are not always going to be in sync with the POTUS's view..

That question is somewhat like asking, "Do you support your CG"? Like most open ended questions, my response is, it depends.

Simple answer no I could not support him but still follow all legal orders given by him. Ive done that my whole life when in the military many leaders in the military I did not support but still follow all orders give to me. That is just what we do we follow legal orders to the best of our ability not matter if we agree or not.

If ordered to walk through a minefield, I'd hesitate to follow orders unless those who gave the order is willing to do so. Then I'd have no problem following in his footsteps.

Personally The answer is No Body's Business. Really, why even ask a question like this?; Especially with the Divisism going on in the United States. I choose to stay More Positive and not ask people a question like this one ⁉️ Let There Be Peace☮️ in the United States.

Yes, anyone is better than Trump, but he is a level headed guy with respect all over the world and should do a great job leading us into the future.

A little confused I'd say. First you condemn him, then call him "level headed". Trump has done more for the military than anyone since Reagan. You benefitted from that!

The Coast Guard base in my town had to go to the food bank and borrow money because Trump wouldn't pay them. He insulted NATO and the UN until we lost many of our allies and friends. America was far less safe with that idiot in charge.

Not sure about your little scuff experience with the coast guard but if that's what it came to than that was obviously a logistical issue with the base and funding. Not an issue of "wwaaahh Trump waaaaah!!" And active duty military was GREAT under Trump. Your internet name calling for the past president means nothing. Who lost what ally? WOW... I can tell you have not been on active duty in a LONG time.

Not a Hard question to answer! I feel sorry for He and Harris SENSE BOTH ARE PUPPETS! He can Hardly take care of himself! As for Harris! She was not Qualified for the Job! Remember she did not make the Final Choice Pres. hence I HAVE TO ASK HOW DID THE LEAST QUALIFIED PERSON GET TO BE VICE PRES. WELL NOW YOU NEED TO LOOK AND WATCH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RE-COUNT IN ARIZONA!

If I was still in or called back in to fight an enemy of our Constitution, or livelihood, I'd gladly do it. But anything domestic like gun grabs, if I had a personal opportunity to do so, I'd tell him to his face to kiss my ass! I still believe Biden was elected by fraud. If they investigate the election fully and found he truly won. I would change my mind and attitude.

When I was on active duty, the VinC had my unequivocal support. Now that I'm retired, I am free to support or not support him. As for Mr. Biden, the answer is no, I don't. I think he will attempt to take the Country in the wrong direction, and expand the nanny state to unsustainable expense. I also don't buy the nonsense about taxing the wealthiest to pay for it all. Again, that's unsustainable. I don't like his views on the 2nd Amendment. Remember, that particular Amendment isn't there to protect hunters, it's there to protect We, The People from an overreaching and oppressive government. To my thinking, we are going to see Obama's third term, not Biden's first.

It is interesting that the serving folks responded somewhat correctly in that he IS the Commander in Chief and we are sworn to obey the orders issued by him and his subordinates duly appointed. But that really isn't what support is, is it? Many of the negatives were from retirees. They can say what they wish and to them support is more attuned to political support. I'm a retiree, so I don't have to worry about him being the CinC. I will advocate for (support) those policies I think are a good idea and not support those that I disagree with.

For four years I endured a most incompetent self serving buffoon named Trump as commander in chief. Joe Biden is a breath of fresh air. and certainly more concerned about the welfare of veterans, and the rest of the population than his predecessor. I support most of his policies. I especially support any action to more strictly control gun ownership in this country.

I am guessing you were NOT in during the Trump days. It was the greatest time to be on active duty. The welfare of veterans was made great under his term as well.

Possible yes.. We spend time helping so many, yet this country (VA) and Congress refuses to help out our Veterans, 300 Thousand have died ..cause.. A/O, yet they deny our Veterans who have listed health issues and can prove that they were stationed where listed duty assignments and dates are shown referring to exposure, Agent Orange !!
