My best bud was a retired Marine Officer... he said 10% of ALL that are in the Military should be put against the wall and shot... you found one here!

The military doesn't go to another planet to recruit or fishes in a separate gene pool. Of course it tends to appeal to the patriotic, even conservative type folks, but it's still a mix of every type of American.
So you're going to get misfits like Bruhns, even Sandinista Marxists like Camilo Mejia the Chairman of the Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Thank God it,s 10% and not half like in civilian society.
