seems liek today there is a heavy contingent of people who want to be heavikly armed personally to ward off an oppressive evil govt.
yet i tend to think that of that group, many are proUS military…

I think that you very accurately put it right there.
It’s within that group that you see parents encouraging their children, just out of high school, to enlist in the military.
It’s a question of culture and education. I doubt any on this board would allow their kids to enlist in the military.
Is there any data on the high schools/zip codes where enlisted military members come from?[/quote]
Complete demonstration of lack of core values – and focus on self serving.
I am pro US military. They put their lives on the line. That does not mean that I am pro current commander in chief, nor previous commander in chief. Nor does that mean I approve of congress’s actions. The commander in chief as well as our congress are not putting their lives on the line when they order our military to some action. On the other hand, the members of our military have committed to put their lives on the line to do what has been requested of them, whether it costs them their lives or not. They put their lives and trust that ‘We the People’ are using our vote wisely and not just voting for a party of specific face because we ‘like how they look’ or say what we want to here.
If you don’t like what the military is doing, figure out why they have been ordered to do it (Current MSM is a really poor source. They are more interested in stories that sell and drum up emotion than informing – queue Dire Straits) as well as reflect on who you voted for and why. The military is really only doing what it has been instructed to.
