Why would someone need to have "served" to think it's weird to associate "extremism" and "patriotism?"

Perhaps I’m misreading your intent. What are you trying to say ?

I think what he means is if he was working at Wendy's and you ordered a Frosty he would dip his ball sack in it before he handed it to you. That's the way I read it?

Agreed and an acceptable behavior. There’s no reason we can’t be civil about this.

Do you see a correlation between extremists and patriot in the military? Try to just answer truthfully without the smartass

I can imagine there are extremists in the military.

I can imagine there are patriots in the military.

The OP implied that there was concern on his part that those he considered patriots would be considered by others to be extremists.

I found that to be odd, which is why I pointed out that it was a weird association. In hindsight, I should have realized that the OP was simply bellyaching and sowing seeds of victimhood like the pantywaste he is.

What sane person would want extremists (of any kind) serving in a capacity where loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage are required above personal belief?


BTW, a DD-214 isn't required to hold this or other opinions about the military. No need for you to be a gatekeeper.

Decent points. But here's a better question or two...

Exactly who determines what is "extremist" behavior and why? Some would consider BLM to be an extremist group. Others would consider anyone flying a Trump 2020 flag to be an extremist.

So, how is that "extremist" determination made and how fairly is it applied across the board?
