I know a lot of people in fairly high positions and they are not immune to being flaky. However I attribute a lot to the fact The Libs are in power and they can do no right in a lot of people's eyes.

The Anti-Trudeau sentiment in the military is earned, not because of his economic policy or anything like that as much as a massive mistrust of the Liberals over the policies concerning the military that effect their day to day jobs.



There's as much as a general mistrust with Conservatives because with the exception of some momentum from the Harper government in terms of modernization and purchases, the Conservatives have fouled up the Military in terms of spending and procurement as well.


The treatment of veterans and retired member doesn't exactly create party loyalty either.


Outside of Trudeau the Senior who most Military members hated with a passion because PET looked at the Military with a massive amount of disdain. They didn't like Chretien because they felt that he was actively trying to get them killed in terms of kit and deployments.
I'd have to agree with speede5, I have lots of ex-military guys that are sprouting all sorts of nonsense.
