Well, they are "sailors," and "marines," not "troops." Next, we really do not need servicemen who have extremist political views. I would prefer they have no opinions at all.

When "extremist views" includes upholding the US Constitution, then I demand that every single sailor and troop holds "extremist views". My oath was to the Constitution, not the government.

Call them what you want it makes no difference. If you prefer no opinion you will need an army of robots because it wi never happen with humans.

Make sure you tell the sailors that you call them troops. They will really want to know and comment on that.

You'd prefer a bunch of robots, then.
