the military has become an object of quasiworship. its primary article of faith is that we owe everything we are, everything we have and all of our future to our military. our very freedom and life depend ont he willingness of brave men adn women to don the uniform and protect us.
to have this discussion in public, that perhaps the military has nothing to do wtih protecting us, the nation, our freedoms, out constitution, even amongst purported friends, to contradict this, would to invite ostracism, hatred and perhaps a sound beating. so much for freedom of speech. you technically have the right, and the govt wont shut you down, but everyone’s so inculcated and persuaded and on the same page the govt doesn’t have to.
this, ultimately, is why i voted for vermin Supreme for President. He was focussed on getting ponies for all citizens, not illegal warfare.
