Highlight another facet of our citizen-military:*Still* serve even if the squatting CinC is a p.o.s.

This is one of the admirable attributes that has always been there, but stands out more under the current situation of SHITLER squatting as CinC. And no blinders here, because everybody who enlists voluntarily has their own reasons for doing so, some of which are self-serving, and this service is also *SERVICE*.

But here we have a squatter in the Commander in Chief slot who has:

* Denigrated the service of others while he never served.
* Insulted the suffering of the captured, wounded, and killed.
* Insulted Gold Star families.
* Withheld common honors by not visiting military cemeteries.
* Committed fraud to avoid service.
* Used the military for political gimmickry, injecting politics into it.

And yet, the citizen-military still serve.
