Not for long. The military will be around after Trumps is gone just as it has been since Washington. The reason it works is because of the processes and traditions. Trump is upending the command and control system that keeps the soldiers under control. Law and the constitution are the ultimate authority that all of the people including the president must serve them. Being a Seal has to be about the hardest profession. It takes a special person to want to ever put up with what they have to do in order to stay with it. I suspect that those people are closer to the sociopathic sadistic end of the continuum than average. They are useful for that reason but those urges and traits have to be kept under control. It must be hard to control trained killers, all of which are themselves alpha males. They can’t just be allowed to act violently without some control.
