Have we, as active duty or retired military, allowed this election to divide us as much as it has civilians who have never served together?

I don't think so. We swore an oath, saluted the flag and defended our brothers always. We have a different mindset than civilian will ever have. I always greet a vet when I see them & thank them & they do the same to me.

Overall, I think we tend be to be quite a bit more level-headed and grounded in our discussions about the election results than the folks who are running around destroying things, throwing public tantrums, or those in the "safe space with crayons, hot chocolate and therapy dogs" crowd. I tend to attribute that to our "Military Bearing" and most of us probably had some level of respect taught at home as well. While I can't say what we are doing in our private lives, I will point out that RallyPoint does not come anywhere close to the level of vitriol posted on other websites such as FaceBook, Twitter, etc.

No I don't think so. Some folks voted one way or the other for personal reasons. I think the majority of folks who are losing their minds are 100% civilians, mis informed or just want to create havoc. Semper Fi.

PS: I did not really like our current outgoing President but he got elected...
