I think beyond all the infuriating, progressive-baiting shit, the unabashed self -congratulatory satisfaction that he can say nasty closed-minded shit because now he's in charge, the crux of it is that he and his kind don't understand war, they don't understand military operations and they don't understand how these things are actually won. They are cosplaying army with about as much subtlety as 19 year olds out of high school.

And so they are doing just what you pointed out: making it about warriors when modern wars are won mostly through logistics.
