"Los Angeles to Washington, DC. Former National Security Council official Kori Schake tells host Steve Clemons that Trump is trying to enlist the US military to get involved in his culture war issues, such as immigration and political dissent. She warns that US forces should be kept out of politics so that the American public continues to have confidence and trust in the military."

The deployments frame military involvement around issues such as immigration and political dissent, effectively bringing armed forces into domestic cultural and political disputes. Enlisting the military for partisan objectives risks politicizing the armed forces and undermining their institutional neutrality. Maintaining a clear separation between military operations and partisan politics is necessary to preserve public confidence and trust in the U.S. military.
