So, thinking more objectively, is this a substantive reason to criticize this as a policy for the elected-administration?

Have you ever had to put your life in the hands of someone you didnt trust? Why dont you ask a servicemember who has, and see how they feel about it.

at some point all of us have had to put their life in the hands of someone they dont trust. what does that have to do with where we could be heading going forward?

the best you can do is to be as prepared as you can, do your part, stay aware and the rest you leave to your faith (if that is what you believe) or to chance.
