      "It’s hardly a coincidence that the right now sees the military as the enemy. After all, they disobeyed Trump and were the major barrier for Trump carrying out his plans, both during the protests of 2020 and during the January 6 riot."https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/the-right-versus-the-military?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

      my take on this is conservatives have always attacked the officer class and the officer class has been broadly allied with "liberal" governance since the cold war

      McCarthy attacked the officer class but that led to his downfall. The usual right wing posture after McCarthy was to champion generals over politicians.

      yeah true but I'm thinking there's still a general cultural tendency of attachment to "the troops" against both their civilian leadership and the generals that you could see in the right's response to Vietnam for example

      There's something to that although in National Review in 1960s, LBJ & McNamara were blamed or screw-ups, not Pentagon.

          yeah the right's argument was that the US military was not being allowed to kill more people in a bloody enough manner

          right. I'm also put in mind of the right's attitude toward cops -- a weepy Thin Blue Line shtick until some (halfheartedly) interfered with the putsch, in which case they were fair game for assault

          I think you would see a very similar reaction if the (actually quite diverse) military ended up facing down a bunch of Tucker-addled white militia guys

          there's enough complexity & tension w/in the officer class that they can be flattened into either villains or heroes depending on utility, but when officers are actual subject of attention, the internal divisions are serious
