[QUOTE="get2choppaaa, post: 1358794, member: 17150"] Maybe I missed it, but do you have experience with military service? If so, what did you do and did you ever deploy? Those are relevant questions and not meant to attack you personally, but only so we can all gauge your experiences and understanding for credibility sake. Two people could both serve in different MOS's and have completely different experiences. I guarantee you I had a much more positive experience that was less full of globohomo than a desk clerk in and administration shop in the Air Force/Navy. There is always an element of poltical correctness in all things we have to interact with as all institutions are ran by men who have to answer to the politics of the time. The military is no different than a majority of organizations in our world. Currently I work for a small, very Christian company who's owner has sued the Obama Admin about the Birth Control thing... Even there I cant go in and point out the JQ and how this country should only consist of British Isles colonial subjects and their descendants, and how diversity = hatred.... I still have to keep those opinions to myself for the most part. Assuming you work, you too probably have similar circumstances. I personally think this discussion is beginning to stray from the OP's interrogatories. Militias and other types of organizations are fine in theory, but discussion on a board about them is a straight up green light to get infiltrated by feds. These new institutions you're alluding to, I would expect you would want people who served in the military in them to train you how to do all those things you're discussing, to me it sounds a lot like larping and idle babble, unless call of duty is going to teach a generation how to think critically in austere environments...
