“Being lectured by the subalterns of a guy whose family has never in recorded history had a member in the military about patriotism is a laugh.”
In point of historical minutiae I believe there is one direct ancestor who joined the Union army during the civil war, and more recent collaterals.
In the direct line though, there have been none since just before the Mexican Chicken Ranch refuge from US jurisdiction.
Maybe ~ Desseret militia doesn’t count BTW. Their job was more to chastise the evil Gentiles than anything else.
