>The 1.3 million members of the US military have one thing in common. Each one has taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. They have sworn that they are willing to die in combat to defend the core values of this country. And that means they are willing to die on the battlefield for freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

 

CNN emphasis on military members' willingness to die. Contrary to Patton's opinion on the purpose of the militaryโ€ฆto make the other dumb bastard die for his country.

 

>Continuing to attack both of those fundamental American pillars is clearly something that President Donald Trump feels resonates with his political base, even after 19 months in office. But as the Commander in Chief continues uninterrupted in his attacks, there is a problem boiling to the surface. Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford โ€“ two of the top commanders โ€“ are walking an increasingly fraught line, ordering troops to fight and die under a Commander in Chief who does not publicly share the values the troops are obligated to defend."

 

CNN doesn't understand irony.
