I feel a lot safer knowing they're still on the job. If Chump ever gets really deranged and tells one of them to "drop a nuke" on somebody, these guys will know what to do. They'll tell him to pound salt, is what.

On the other hand, if the most experienced military men all left en masse, who's coming in to replace them? It's a scary thought and I don't what to think it.
