Most of our military service recruits come from the South.
Gee, I wonder why?
It's a volunteer force from a reliably red constituency. Sometimes you get what you vote for. Lost wars and reduced benefits.
In othercwords, uneducated gullible people that have no options.
This is consistent with what my high school buddy told me after a few years in the Marine Corps
Overall U.S. military enlisted recruits: roughly 36% are college graduates (bachelor's degree or higher) at enlistment.
Facts can be facts but you don't have to demean the people who volunteer to protect you.
Outside of a few months in the fall of 2001 the U.S. military has not been in the business of protecting me. At the moment they are once again making me less safe.
Your privilege is showing.
Nope
Absolutely yes. You speak from a place of privilege, we all do. Some of us just admit it and appreciate that we have it.
Oh, I have privilege. And I receive a great deal of protection from local police. But in my lifetime the U.S. military has rarely been defending me.
You feel that way because you have been safe, and the US Military has never stopped defending you. Look what happened when Biden opened the flood gates at the border and allowed millions of persons into the country, with many violent criminals among them. Maybe your daughter was not raped, or shot like Kate Steinle, but we have too many parents in mourning from just that kind of crime. Biden was our military commander in chief, and he put our daughters and others in danger by not only throwing the borders wide open, but by ordering the disbursement of these newcomers throughout our country by buses and airplanes, secretly, in the dead of night, all paid for with the taxpayers' dollars. Were he not senile, he should have been tried for treason.
It really takes all hands on deck to protect you, police, military, ATF, Border Patrol, FBI, National Guard, etc. Even having good alert neighbors is important. You need to be protected from forces of nature as well. Fire Departments, Weather forecasters, and on and on, all need to do their jobs to protect you.
Neither the US Military, nor the border patrol, nor the police protected us from 9/11
