History reveals the Russian Army was key to the success of the 1918 communist revolution. When Lenin was finally able to win over the army, the revolution succeeded. Now, we don't normally make a parallel, here; but, in some respects, the strategy of our internal enemy is unmistakenly similar. I say that because our enemy has been very clever and has managed to turn American against American with a very simple strategy. "They" have. "You" want." "I" can arrange to put what "they" have in "your" pocket. This can be applied to just about everything, not just money --- jobs, positions, political and cultural influence, power, basically anything that can be achieved. Briefly, people want things taken from their neighbors and handed to them. It is a red pill that is hard to swallow. The same argument that is connected to the army also applies to schools, the welfare state, and very much to the democrat party political machine. It has become so pervasive as to be nearly invisible. The army, like high school, is where all the different classes come together.
