A dog whistle for what? There's an awful lot of cagey presumption going on in every reiteration of this claim.

- Fellshard 6y agoThat is not what the Thin Blue Line represents.
- AGSYS 6y agoThat's probably what the "oath of enlistment" represents though.
- caseysoftware 6y agoNo, the "military oath of enlistment" is LITERALLY the oath of enlistment for the military. As in the US military. As in the oath that enlisted soliders/marines/sailors say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces_oath_of_enlistment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces_oat... Anything else or other associations are in your head, not reality.

- barumi 6y ago> A dog whistle for what? There's an awful lot of cagey presumption going on in every reiteration of this claim. I'm not a US citizen nor I ever set foot in the US, and even from afar the quasi-fanarical displays of support for the US armed forces is a hallmark of supporters of the Republican party.
- brink 6y agoAs an American, American politics genuinely feels like a game of dodge ball where each team captain takes turns picking virtues that the other side has to be against. The left picked immigration so the right has to hate immigration, the right picked the military so the left has to hate the military. It's like our politics have to be polar opposites on everything, and it's exhausting.
- vonseel 6y agoI get you. And plenty of Republicans support the military but did not support Bush's invasion of Iraq / false hunt for WMDs and agree on limiting the size of our military. This book had some great comments on military size and concomitant decline of power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_the_Great_Powers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_the_Great...
