I don't know what it's like in the military these days, but if you're a young enlisted type, they don't give you a lot of spare time to keep up on current events. The senior NCO's and officers have the time, but they're all about the pension.
Add gays, transgenders and wokesters into the traditional mix of niggers, spics and poor white trash and you've got one hell of an under-educated shit-show.
