Trust in democratic control and civilian oversight of the armed forces. Units diluted with all kinds of people from all over the country reduce the risk they will open fire on their own kind.
If “they” ever come for us, the racial, economic, and educational diversity of our armed forces will keep our own boys from opening fire on their fellow Americans. At least I hope so.
As an airman, you likely understand the futility of facing off against warthogs, apaches, and comanches with handguns and hunting rifles. And that’s what these idiots don’t get: “they” name that shit after the most ferocious natives not to strike ancestral fear into Chinese hearts, but ours!
