Out of curiosity, those who know how pro military I am, what do you think my response is?

I didn't think you were particularly pro military , I'm guessing thats sarcasm.

I thought by they way I am when I do chime in on military topics people would assume I have a near militant reverence for the military.

About 2 decades ago I became the first male in generations on both my father and mothers side to not serve. I had to jump through hoops and beg for LORs from officers that knew me for most of my life just to be allowed to test because of Clinton. It came down to a combination of and injury preventing me from doing what I wanted and being a temperamental brat that prevented me entertaining the idea that there where other jobs I could do. I regret being a fool.

However, I was (a) raised to despise mercenaries and (b) over the last few years have found way to many mercenaries "serving".
