How many of those bad things are OUR fault?

Consider all of the people hired on the basis of what they like to sleep with, their color of skin, what's in their pants, etc...

Who allowed that system to exist? Who voted for it?

Who didn't stand up against it?

The military didn't fail us. We, failed us.

Personal accountability was lost - we outsourced this country to those "in charge" - and stopped acting like WE are the ones in charge.

I hear what you're saying - but in the end - it we truly are "WE the People"... then "WE" own what we have done with that moniker.

And we thank the military from saving us from our own choices.
