Nothing could be further from the truth.  

8 years of budget cuts and appeasements and apologies and meaningless red lines and retreats and declining respect domestically for the military and for the US globally had reduced morale in the military to arguably its lowest point since the 1930s and certainly its lowest point since the Carter administration.

Trump's commitments to both military budget increases and improvements in veterans treatment, his regular expressions of appreciation and praise of the military and his more muscular and selective use already of military force, and his obvious inclination not to be pushed around by America's enemies or ordered around by the corrupt and laughable UN have all combined to raise US military morale to its highest point since at least the Reagan years.

As well, serving and retired military personnel are impressed by the significant number of retired general officers in important White House and other positions.

Nice spin though.
