NB In my admittedly short stays at Parris Island, ITR, Camp Lejuene Amtrack pad, Camp Pendelton's Oceanside Amtrack pad, and Quantico, VA, I don't remember ever discussing or hearing discussed, anyone's position along the conservative, liberal, continuum. Of course it was a long time ago. Frank In my long stays at Fort Sill, Fort Gordon, Fort Lewis, Fort Knox, Fort, Bragg, Fort Cambell, etc., etc., etc., we ALWAYS discussed politics. Most military personnell are very conservative. This post is 100% free of steroids The Army stays in "Forts" which implies a defensive posture. The USMC stays in "Camps" which implies constant movement on the offensive. You are right that politics is a big topic in the military, especially amongst the more educated commissioned officers. I was a junior officer in the USMC until I got promoted to the Navy Seals. NB Hey, dummy, nobody "gets promoted" into the elite Navy Seals. Everybody's got to go through training camp. It's the most difficult training camp in the world. Many cannot cut the mustard. You are a Freaking Liar! Wilbur Hubbard |
