> now the same ones that said Obama was a secret Kenyan that ran a human-trafficking ring in a pizza parlor though?

I have never heard this. Apparently we get our news from different sources. Did I miss anything, or are my filters working properly?

The military has rules of professional conduct which help establish a non-toxic culture. "Respect the role" flows from that. When you're given orders, you're not going to make a personal judgement on the president. You're going to do your job. A toxic culture could cost lives.

The military can be a strange world for people who have never served.

“Pizzagate”[0] was what it was called. And people still believe it. Never mind the fact that there’s literally no basement in the parlor.

Also the "birther" conspiracy theory famously extensively spread and popularized, for years, by Trump and his family and campaign.

The pizzagate thing is related to QAnon as well, something of a prototype of it.
