I admit, as someone who grew up as a military brat to a 30 year veteran of three wars, and served four years myself, Leftists in the military puzzle me.
I simply don't understand...Leftist values are antithetical to conservative values, and almost all the military people I know or have known are conservative, or at least more conservative.
I have had some people tell me it is more common in the military to see them now, and I suppose after seeing this crap (which made me see RED) I can believe it:
When I saw this, my blood pressure literally (not figuratively) spiked. I am all for people believing what they want within the law in civilian life, but this scumbag was in the military, and what made me angrier, was people above him in the chain of command knew about him, but still let him get out into an assignment where he was in charge of men.
Fortunately, somehow it finally came around and that suckbag turd was given a less than honorable discharge, but the fact it even got that far made me realize I might not be in Kansas anymore.
“In bourgeois terms, it was a war between the Allies and Germany. In Bolshevik terms, it was a war between the Allied and German upper classes - and which of them won was of total indifference. My task was to organize defeat, so as to hasten the onset of revolution. I enlisted under the name of Petrov. The party looked to the peasant conscript soldiers - many of whom were wearing their first real pair of boots. When the boots had worn out, they’d be ready to listen. When the time came, I was able to take three whole battalions out of the front lines with me - the best day’s work I ever did. But for now, there was nothing to be done. There were too many volunteers. Most of it was mere hysteria.”
-Yevgraf Zhivago (From “Dr. Zhivago”)
Don’t think the same thing isn’t happening today
