The city dwellers are a mostly mix of cowardly wimps and semi-civilized thugs.

Neither are willing or able to step up and do the job of defending America.

I would bet that the rural recruits gravitate more towards the infantry (rifle-toting) positions, while the urban and suburban recruits steer towards the support positions

Granted it's not like you are talking to a New Yorker or anything, but I am a city dweller and so I do take offense to the comment you have made above.

Now, as for this whole issue of rural v urban

It's a NYT smokescreen to try and raise a sort of rural populism to their cause that the left assembled from 1880-1950

It ain't gonnna happen this time around though, so their efforts are being wasted.

As a counter example, I grew up in Chicago and served my time as an M-1 crewman.
