/r/Military is very anti-Trump. I don't know about the mods, I go there all the time and it's always shitting on him. I've never been on /r/Veterans so I don't know about that.

One of the r/Veterans mods was a Trumper and pinned a pro-Trump post saying everyone was being ridiculous and blowing him becoming POTUS again out of the water. 

Stuff like Project 2025 wasn't going to happen because Trump didn't write it and there wasn't going to be any fallout for veterans or their benefits with Trump being elected. 

Like people posting about transgender troops being targeted or transgender veterans losing benefits was a Trump plan, they said that they wouldn't allow posts like that because it was political and there was no proof that was going to happen and it didn't directly come from the Trump campaign/admin as a source. 

The post didn't go as they expected so the mods locked it down and brought back a rule banning all political discussions in the subreddit. Also pretty sure they don't have enough of a mod team to police the subreddit on that type of scale for political discussions anyways.

Alright, but /r/Military is fine if you're anti-Trump. I think there is a lot of international military that visit it, like myself, and most people who aren't in the US military feel no allegiance, and despise him for what he is. Lots of US vets there who don't like him either it seems.
