So just like a lot of the military

Actually the military aggressively weeds out and removes "out right" racist and those with extreme ideologies. Turns out having racist in your military units doesn't lead to a effective fighting force. Yes there are racist people in the military and it has always been a white male dominated institution. Do to the mixing of all walks of life (kind of like college.) I honestly believe if push comes to shove the military would back the people over Trump. That's been the true goal of the whole woke military hearings to Congress.

Same goes for gang related tats. My sister had to explain that she was not in fact part of the Latin Kings for the crown on her shoulder, just a maid in a Mardi Gras crew.
