I must agree, military personnel are almost always different in their thinking and their actions. Putting oneself in the line of fire really focuses your thoughts and mind “There are no Atheists in foxholes”. I have served 22 years in the Army and never had a problem with the vast majority of my brothers in arms. Sisters in arms was a slightly different story.
My problem seems to be working in Maryland near a lot of upwardly mobile government employed minorities who do not seem to notice where there money comes from.
There are some blacks that are seeing that the Obama years have reversed their gains in home ownership, annual real wages, hours of work that they can get because of Obamacare part time rules.
Black youth losing their ability to get into the work force with their first job. A 50% youth unemployment rate also makes a life of crime, stealing and dealing drugs, alway bad for society.
The GOP should run commercials pointing out the Democrat failure to make black family conditions better. With spokesmen like Walter Williams an economist , Herman Cain a businessman, Dr. Carson a Surgeon cutting the commercials the GOP could make inroads with 20% to 30% of blacks who know Obama has failed them.
GOP has the best chance of reaching black voters in decades, Obama wanting to bring in 5 million workers to take Black jobs and depress wages is something blacks fear. Obama has stabbed them in the back.
