He’s ignoring several things: there is structure in the military for a reason which is self-evident and promotions are based on merit...if you’re a dirtbag, you get thrown out or don’t get promoted, etc, so color, race, creed is not the end all be all (isnt that in contrast to what libs think?); and like GatorGirl pointed out, the benefits are earned....while libs think they should just be given because they are a “right”; which brings me to another point, servicemembers give up their civil rights, a fact he also ignores. But he’s probably ok with all giving up rights if it’s for the common good anyway. I swear it’s like arguing with a stop sign when it comes to liberals.

One significant fact; serving your country is a sacrifice, not a business model. There is honor in protecting this country and projecting the best of America to the world.

Military service doesn't produce anything it's the only branch of government that truly protects the American people. No other office of government can honestly say that. We gave up so much for this wonderful nation and people so that everyone can enjoy freedom.

Remember, the Military defends democracy, it doesn't practice it.

The greatest gift we can give our children is they will never have to be in a position to risk their lives to protect this nation.
