The problem with plenty of political activists, is that at least the loud ones lack effective team mentality. Take for instance the fact that I was on a rowing and a football team, in both of those sports, the coach will criticize and suggest improvement in the technique of players all over the team, it’s discipline, and it is what makes the team effective. It was usually fairly obvious which people would either quit or settle for JV, because those people were the ones, who couldn’t go for too long without being full of himself while the rest of the team was willing to take the heat, and move on, some people took it well, and recognized that they weren’t so much more special or sorry for themselves, while some didn’t. Either way, despite my not making the military, I would hope that the discipline is similar to work on team solidarity. The military shouldn’t hopefully be about who has some history of oppression, or who has the skeletons in one’s closet, it should be about getting the clue that they either work well together and cooperate on the right terms, or there’s serious problems. I hope the discipline stays well on the “team mentality” in the military, however.

I totally agree.
the military is not a democracy . It is team team team.

This situation does worry me. Maybe the activist will get tired of it once they find out it’s not a garden party and move on.

Frankly it is not safe to have our military worrying about social issues. We shall see.
