Trust in the military is dropping significantly, new survey suggests

Trust in the U.S. military has decreased significantly in recent years, but armed forces still remain among the most respected institutions in the country, according to a new public opinion poll released by the Ronald Reagan Institute this week.

About 56 percent of Americans surveyed said they have “a great deal of trust and confidence” in the military, down from 70 percent in 2018. The poll includes views of more than 2,500 individuals who were asked questions in early February 2021.

“To see this drop is quite a concern,” said Roger Zakheim, Washington director of the institute. “This is not just the events of the past 12 months. We’re seeing this trend now.”

“There has been a rising concern over domestic division and political violence in the United States and for a number of years now,” Zakheim said. “We see in this poll that Americans are experiencing a sense of pessimism in almost every question [regarding] confidence or trust or reliance on allies. The numbers are generally ticking down.”

The numbers will continue to drop because the Democrats need them to drop.

People generally don’t fear what they trust.

To get people to obey the military giving unconstitutional orders they must fear the military which means they can’t trust the military.

Undermining the trust leads to fear and fear leads to compliance.

The constant goal post moving of when the troops will be pulled from DC undermines the trust.

Giving the military law enforcement powers in federal districts or on federal property will further undermine the trust, so expect to see that next.

Making the military a partisan organization also undermines the trust.

This loss in trust is a desired feature, expect it to continue.
