I didn't say the military changed at all. Just that it doesn't conform to the simplistic, monolithic knuckle-dragger stereotype you portray it to be. (IF) you really were in the military I'm sure anyone with a three digit IQ didn't bother engaging you in any meaningful conversation.
Jesus.
If that's true - it's already over. Come home, kid. If the military is going to go vote for a person who hates the military and everything it stands for, and wants to dismantle it, then I can't help you anymore. Get out before you get hurt, because you're not fighting in a service I recognize.
I admit - I've self-selected toward industries and professions that lean Republican/conservative. I don't like everything the Republican Party has done, but I could never see the day where I could vote for somebody who neither respects nor understands our heritage.
Obama admitted he had a coke habit through high school and college. You realize that he couldn't serve in the military he commands?
We're in deep trouble.
EDIT: If I was in, then during the time I would have been in, I would have been in a service that was almost uniformly Republican. We would have had alot of personality conflicts, sure. Lots of strong personalities, Type A guys, high strung. But for what it's worth, we voted Republican and hated Clinton. I'd take Clinton again over this fool, but you're too young to remember that.
Whatever man. I respect your service and what you do. I respect your right to your opinion, however wrong it is. That's fine.
I'm telling you I couldn't have the conflict about my country that you do and go fight for it.
