"You know the military is the definition of white privilege and the patriarchy!"

Really? I didn't know that.

Where did you find this enlightenment?

The military is probably the BEST example of LESS racism then any where else in the country.

But, you easily use the freedoms provided by the safety and protection the military gives us.

You must be of the "ME" generation.

So basically, if a major war ever took place again, you think we should just surrender? Or how does it work in your Libertarian/ANCAP fantasy land?
