If Donald Trump is elected President, would it be more honorable to resign from service or to serve under his "leadership"?

Only a racist would pose such a stupid question. I have served under every US President since Gerald Ford beginning in 1976. Some I liked and some I didn't but I swore an oath, it's that simple. Obama has been the worst by far however I continued to serve because I was serving my Viuntry not it's divisive racist President. I hope my answer helps answer this absolutely absurd question. Soldier on Major or get out. The Army is down sizing anyway right now. No one individual is that important anyway.

Your opening sentence is hysterical. How is questioning the leadership ability of a candidate in any way racist?

Honestly sir, if the person, whomever they may be, that is elected to this country makes you feel so strongly about it, you should resign. If your hearrt isn't in, you have no business leading soldiers. Or, you could just suck it up and do your job.

It would be most honorable for you to actually do your job instead worrying about politics. Unless you consider yourself a quitter since a president only serves a maximum of 8 years given the fact that a military career is 20 to 30 years. 900 years years if you turn in your commission and go Warrant.

The military is trying to down-size right now anyway. If you don't feel the desire to continue service because of who the American people elect, I'm pretty sure your service branch will be happy to oblige.

I endured Beirut Lebanon in 1983... not because Ronald Reagan put us there... but because The Terrorists that were Hijacking Planes in Beirut International Airport were killing American Citizens!

Starting from President number one until now, there will always be someone who isn't in favor of their policies. From the first campaign, candidates say what they feel people want to hear. Then the reality of the position sets in and they have to adjust accordingly. I didn't/don't agree with everything the Presidents I've served under have done or said but my mission wasn't to them, it was to the nation and more selfishly, my family and friends. Unless a guy is planning on becoming Emperor, I dismiss all of the rhetoric coming from Washington and campaign trails...it's politics.
