Who do Americans think would be the most trustworthy person to lead the nation’s military?

It seems that Reuters recently ran a poll, here are the results:

I'm not sure whether this is a true vote of confidence or people are just tired of the mind set of constant war. What do you think?

I think NurseAngela will recommend 3 Go Trumps to run the military. Maybe AntDog will beat her to it.

It all depends what you think the military is for.

The military is a business. A way of life for some. Lastly for the defense of the country.

Started enlisted, made it to major. On that note, I could have made a much larger income managing 362 people in the civilian workforce. Your statement is thus illogical. :roll:

I think the MIC needs to be rethought, it lacks self-sufficiency. I doubt even Bernie has what it takes to wrangle that mess in.
