I know what you mean. I had the privilege of joining the United States Navy straight out of high school in 1962, that was the continuation of my privileged life of cutting firewood, picking cotton, hauling watermelons, walking behind a plow, milking the cow and feeding livestock for as far back as I can remember. Now I have the privilege of listening to people who have never known how to make their own way in the world spout off about how smart they are. Oh, yes, the glories of white privilege, I feel ever so guilty. Such an amazingly easy life I have had as a privileged white man.
If this needs a sarcasm tag there is no hope for this nation.
No sarcasm tag needed. I agree with everything you said or implied. You must be 10 years older than me if you enlisted in 62 straight out of high school. I enlisted in 72 straight out of high school.
