Really excited to see the support for reparations and its pretty awesome that women candidates are paving the way for this issue to actually get any sort of attention.

Lol LK probated KM for pointing out a severely white guy had a meltdown over protecting his notoriously racist family. Alright.

I had to go look because I thought you had to have been joking. You were not...

Thank goodness someone is looking out for the dude talking about "purity tests" without any sense of irony.

but people already go and survive the military meat grinder and a non zero amount of them are still or become pieces of poo poo.

Since when is the goal of the military to do volunteer work and learn about other cultures?

I don't understand people using one or two examples propped up by the media as evidence while simultaneously ignoring actual data that says the complete opposite.

In the Navy, at least, every port we hit had multiple volunteer opportunities to help local communities. The thing is though the people that go to them are already people that skew left, at least in my experience.

I think the other posters point though was many people in the military experience different cultures and see how other countries live. To say that all we have to do is send people overseas and that will fix the complaint of Americans not being cultured enough or too ignorant to give a poo poo is probably wrong though. Even in the full gay space communism scenario of sending everyone abroad youd still have a bunch of conservatives in the population.

Joke answer to that quote is how else do we learn where to bomb and what insurgencies to arm?

Even though people in the military technically "experience" other cultures, it is done through the lens of the American military machine. Sending people to another country as a member of the military is worlds different than sending someone to actually immerse themselves in different cultures. No one is saying this is a magic bullet, but getting out of your bubble and experiencing the diversity in the world is definitely a part of it.
