One member does not mean every member is worried about that. It's an ego issue for one person, unrelated to the military. He would be that way regardless of his accomplishments. .. "elusive valor" .. "swooping in and claiming glory in WW2" .. "dogma" .. I'm not sure you have any real comprehension of history or the words you are using in your rant. I'm not defending the US's militaristic attitude, but your rant reeks of misplaced angst and ignorance. Again, I completely disagree with America's World Police ideology, but your hatred/resentment of everything military-related says a lot about you. Just like anyone who gets upset when people mention a bond formed through football or a fraternity. There's a lot to be said about special bonds that can only be formed through shared experience. If you want to try to understand this a little better, from non-biased sources that absolutely do not glorify war, you should read Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose.
I mean you were already kinda being an asshat, but you completely lost me there. Ah yes, FRATERNIES! What a place of special bonding, based entirely on a rapey, racist culture propogated by bourgeois white guys across the nation. SO SPECIAL. ...And I'm not even gonna get started with the whole football thing. Look, if you're gonna get butthurt, at least pick some shit that hasn't hurt people across the country over and over and over again. Doesn't really help your military defense, lol.a bond formed through football or a fraternity
Wow, the Reddit is strong in this one. I really like that you discredit everything that you have zero experience because it doesn't fit your existing world view. Way to completely ignore discussion of the issue through ad hominem and cognitive bias.
You're right, I've never had unpleasant encounters with fraternities. This is just a lack of fit with my existing world view. I mean, you would know, right? You were there, yeah? I was one of many trying to get them to stop having a "ghetto party" on Halloween. Fun protest. Best part was where some guy in a tank-top spit at me. That wasn't you, was it? But you're right. You have experience with both of these things (you were probably tank-top guy), I guess, so that makes you right. Also, please stop naming fallacies like they're trap-cards from Yu-Gi-Oh. I mean, here ya go since you get such a hard on for them. Cognitive bias is just a term you learned in Psych 1000. Just claiming that I have that bias doesn't mean that: A: you don't have it and/or B: you know what you're talking about. Gonna go with "and" in this instance. I can just as easily claim that you have the same cognitive bias but on a different basis. Congratulations, now we've gotten nowhere.zero experience
