Recent actions by the Trump Administration, including the deployment of troops and a military parade, threaten to politicize America's military and jeopardize civil-military relations. President Trump has publicly criticized Democratic politicians during a speech at Fort Bragg, urging an audience to boo his opponents, which creates an impression of the military serving partisan interests.
The Marines' deployment amid political unrest has sparked a civil-military divide, leading to actions like shutting down their website to protect members from harassment.
