      The army is very conservative when it comes to white troops. Sadly, this will impact our ability to go to war since white troops make up the combat arms and special forces

      Here is an interesting admission that conservatism favors white people over others for some things, despite wintermule’s pathological and repeated assertions that the progressives are the racist ones.

      Also of note is the use of the word “sadly”, which would seem to indicate the knowledge that conservatism is not best possible guiding philosophy for all situations.

          Ok sorry, I must have misunderstood. All I know is, despite my ASVAB I didn’t actually get a choice of MOS.

              Hmm yes very interesting. I’d like to read that. It sounds almost as if you could make some careful inferences about US society as a whole based on observations of the military.

                  Intriguing stuff. I have not finished reading the whole thing but I feel like there could be some cultural, social and socioeconomic factors that are just kinda glossed over here. Seems like a simple question about a subject that I think is more complex than it initially appears.
