    Does he not realize what vets are turning to as they retire or no longer re-enlist?

    A lot of them took their Oath seriously.

    I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the regime tries to make enlistment contracts longer and harder to get out of.

      Absolutely. We already had manning problems across all the branches before everything went to hell. If they want to meet Trump’s goals of new battleships / force reinvigoration, something with regard to enlistment / recruiting policy will have to change, and it won’t be anything good.
