Black people are the most loyal Americans you have. For no good reason either. Take notes as it falls.

@ErickaSimone @evoterra More than half of my recruit company when I joined the Navy were black. Immigrants, I can understand, they come here from wherever, makes sense they like the new place. But black people? I'm surprised you haven't burned the place down, let alone serve in the military (I know all the reasons, opportunity and escape, ghettoization, racism.) I've been punished by black noncoms and officers, and yet I have nothing but respect for their service.
@ErickaSimone @evoterra I think you go for you and you find justifications for service. But we all said the stuff like "fight for your right to say stupid shit" or "we take our oath seriously" and after awhile, you do. If you believe in the principles the country is founded on, that is, if not the practices it abuses with daily.

The founding #FirstPrinciples are noble and rooted in #virtue, which was the only thing sons of the #American #Enlightenment valued in the late 1700’s.
Reputation is a function of promise and delivery.
The delivery has fell short since inception.
But the promise?
Huge upside.
@paninid Yep, that's exactly what I meant, long on promise, waaaaaaay short on delivery
