obummer put his sycophants in power in all branches of the Service. It is those sycophants who dictate who gets to command which ship. Not a single soldier I know had any respect for obummers' choices.
I don't know where you are getting your information from, but while I was no longer in the service when Obama took over, a LOT of my military friends still in loved the fact that he held onto Robert Gates, deferred to Robert Gates, and let Robert Gates help build his team that he moved forward with. That Obama put aside politics to have a smoother transition rather than immediately just go to whomever was on the political left to lead the military.
I mean how do you say that Joe Dunbar was a choice nobody respected when our Current Trump appointed secretary of Defense was one of his biggest fans????
How is Paul Selva, who got his full bird, 1 and 2 star promotions under Bush an Obama guy?
Mark Milley was 82nd airborne, 10th Mountain, 101st airborne, 5th special forces, 25th ID. What army members don't like him?
General Robert Nellor also got his 2nd star with Bush, and is a Legion of Merit Light Cal Marine.
Which of these guys are you calling out here?
And as for myself as a Military Veteran, I am glad Obama never stooped to saying that our POW's were not heroes to make a political statement to benefit himself. I am glad Obama never belittled a gold star family over his political differences. I am glad Obama never got daddy to get him out of serving, and then compared his sex life to serving in Vietnam. I am glad Obama never called our Military officers idiots and claimed to know more than them. I'm glad Obama never campaigned and played politics with threatening to give our military unlawful orders like targeting terrorists families. I'm glad Obama never remarked that an expensive private military school is the same as those serving our nation in the Armed Forces. And I am glad that Obama never tried to write 6 figure checks to get US Military Veterans to use as props for his campaigning.
I did vote for Trump, but his respect for the military was nothing short of deplorable.
