What Trump doesn’t understand is how seriously most military officers take the idea of doing the right thing. I probably screwed up a lot during my time as an infantry officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you this: I stopped a convoy when a soldier threw a water bottle at a shepherd tending his flock on the roadside. Another time I confronted and removed a sergeant from a situation after he shoved an Iraqi kid for no reason other than to show who was boss.
