      Well he was groomed for and by the military… Gang gang. Just a pawn for the big guys, it was never for him or us.

        Bullshit. The military didn’t make him an asshole. There are plenty of sane military folks who aren’t right wing tools.

          US military is the single largest socialist, and most culturally diverse organization on the planet, of course it will draw a few morons in.

            I know the argument for it being socialist but I really dont think its true. Government services arent ‘inherently’ socialist. And its more of an opportunistic mincer than some “diverse organization”.

              They provide you housing, food, and a job.

              They allow literally any race, religion, socioeconomic or ethnic group to join.

              Everyone knows who gets paid what level salary because it’s posted publicly, as well as the same for each rank/grade. Both genders/sexes get paid the same. You get a predictable linear path to progress your career. If you don’t know what you are doing, they will go out of their way to train you and ensure you can do your job.

              They subsidize your healthcare so you don’t pay anything no matter where you go, and if you are unhappy they will move mountains to help you get better or help you transition back into being a civilian.

              It is successful at almost everything it does, and does not exist to create profits unless interfered by with politicians.

              They are willing to commit exteme acts of violence to protect you and each other.

              If society creates something great (Canadian made night vision optics with thermal outlines or a better rifle design like the Austrian SIG Sauer MCX) it will be shared with by everyone equally.

              It literally is the most ideal form of socialism.

                Holy fuck what an American take.

                “They don’t discriminate and offer the most basic of living services; it’s the most socialist socialism ever!”

                … thats not socialism. Dont get me wrong, im all on favour of everyone getting those things, in fact im a socialist as well. But socialism is about overthrowing relationships, not “getting free stuff”. The “free stuff” (from a capitalist perspective) is a result of overthrown relationships.

                They allow literally any race, religion, socioeconomic or ethnic group to join.

                And what happens to these people? Ask the afghans that were left behind or the victims of rampant rape culture.
                My point is that a meat grinder does meat grinder things. By not discriminating when joining, but not caring from whence the blood flows.

                It is successful at almost everything it does

                Again, Afghanistan (or more generally, citation needed). Also what does this have to do with the topic?

                They are willing to commit exteme acts of violence to protect you and each other.

                Thats like… a bad thing. You do realize this, right? Also, again, how is this relevant for the topic? Socialism isnt some kind of virtue ethics thing.

                If society creates something great (Canadian made night vision optics with thermal outlines or a better rifle design like the Austrian SIG Sauer MCX) it will be shared with by everyone equally.

                Sorry, i dont get your point.

                It’s also very hierarchical and autocratic… literally the opposite of what socialism is.

    Fly-over newspaper says “Frisco.”

    Edit: well, I deserved that. In fact, I did read the article and had no idea they weren’t referring to SF. Live and learn. I appreciated the helpful comments.
