Did you engage these young soldiers on theirs views on the the rule of law, homosexuality, transgenderism, and the constitution? Would they stand against a rogue President and administration bent on destroying the nation and the constitution? Do they believe in the 1st-4th Amendments of the constitution, etc...
Absolutely, I challenged them all the time. Military powers vs police powers, gun rights, foreign policy, women in combat, illegal orders, etc., etc.
I took a half dozen sporting clay shooting, dinners, football games, tailgates, other sports events, etc, etc.
Had lots of interaction with them...but I am sure I met the creme de la creme...otherwise my son wouldn’t have associated with them much.
Hope that didn’t come off too holier than though. My son was a very serious student/athlete and steered clear of slackers...which there were some.
No place is perfect.
I also had great talks on military history too.
Great to hear! There are still good people out there. Perhaps these fine young people will replace the conservative officers that Obama purged from the military over the last 8 years...
