Re: Warrior class is evolving
I've seen several references recently to this "warrior class". While there are certainly those whose ongoing service would classify them as fully vetted warriors, I can only count myself as a "normal" guy who happened to have the privilege to do some really cool stuff in my 20s. But I'll be damned if I am going to sit back and let these DC gasbags further the divide between the sheep and the sheepdogs.

That being said there is a significant majority of Soldiers that outright hate our government and civilians in general. The Soldiers have nothing but contempt for the current "Citizens" of our nation.
I do not believe that all "public service" qualifies. For example I don't believe that being a police officer is the same as being a Soldier. In point of fact I believe that you should have "qualified" service BEFORE you are allowed to be a LEO or Firefighter or any political position.

Re: Warrior class is evolving
My politics are best described as being to the right of atilla The Hun, but I do believe that there is a growing segment of the population who fear the so-called "Warrior Class". My old Grandaddy would have explained it like this.....Well you see son, it's all about checks and balances.
