A new poll conducted by Military Times and Syracuse University has found that nearly half of all active duty American troops believe the next major war is just around the corner. 

The poll results show about 46% of respondents think the U.S. will be drawn into a new war at some point in the next year, which is a significant 5% leap above the same category in the Military Times poll taken last year.

Analysts who looked at the numbers believe military personnel fear global instability and the heightened rhetoric of the Trump administration especially related to world powers like Russia and China. 

The Commandant reportedly told Marines stationed in Norway, "I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a war coming.”

Interestingly, the threat of terror organizations that have defined much of the past nearly two decades of the post-9/11 "war on terror" — namely Al Qaeda and ISIS — were seen as less of a threat, with about 57 percent saying it was domestic terrorism that now constitutes the most pressing threat above foreign groups. 

But perhaps the biggest shocker — and what could be the biggest affirmation on Trump's Korea policy yet — the poll for the first time saw North Korea recede into the background as a significant threat.
