This is a non story, they behaved the way they're supposed to. it would have been a story if they had cheered Trump.

Know this, when Obama spoke to military leaders and they sat there in silence too, because they aren't political, FOX News ran clips of it claiming it's proof the generals don't respect him.

This is a non story, and the majority of the men in that room support Trump's fascist agenda.
