They differ and have different experiences and opinions."<BR/><BR/>This is something many Americans (across the political spectrum) have trouble wrapping their heads around. On the right, the idea that there could be soldiers who actually supported John Kerry makes their heads explode. And on the left, the fact that not all soldiers are mindless right-wing automaton killing machines returns an error of "does not compute." <BR/><BR/>I've actually run into this problem at my AFROTC det. Some of my fellow 100s (freshmen) are having trouble understanding that liberals/democrats are allowed in the military too. There have been some pretty heated arguments that have taken place between cadets in the dorms; I don't think it has really affected the morale of the corps yet, but there's always a chance that it might. Something to keep an eye on.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm one of those crazy libertarians...I've actually had a few cadets come up to me and ask me about libertarianism...they had never really come into contact with one of "my kind" before. Pretty funny stuff.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122811314990661743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541289.post-1144464116230487702006-04-07T20:41:00.000-06:002006-04-07T20:41:00.000-06:00G.W.
