Reply #48: Yes, but my larger point is that WE do exist. To flatly stereo-type all troops ...

or even "all officers" as conservative is very unfair.

Yes, liberal democrats may be greatly outnumbered in the military but WE HAVE SERVED and LIBERALS have "fought and died" for their beloved Country. There are thousands more LIBERAL democrats who have returned from "conflicts" less than whole, physically and/or mentally.

Please refrain from such knee-jerk stereotyping the military? Many company and field grade officers have, with time, "wakened-up" and realize that war is INSANITY unless it's directly PROTECTING one's nation.

The Generals and the Military Academy Cadets are, by default, pro-war. War is their culture. I do not blame them for being true believers. However, WAR only benefits the CAREER MILITARY and the private contractors who make HUGE profits within the MIC. Everyone else suffers.
