Are any of you guys currently military? Frankly, in my experience, people I've known who went into the military had the racism and supremacism crap beaten out of them by training, reality, and working closely with guys and gals of other origins. OD, you may have seen lots of material of people hoping to recruit young guys into their beliefs, their lunacy, if you will. But that doesn't necessarily mean they succeed. It also doesn't mean that anyone who reads that stuff is going to be convinced of anything at all.

I've read the Communist Manifesto, and I'm still not communist. I've read all sorts of stuff, including witchcraft stuff, and I still am not a devil worshiper or witch. I don't hold with any of it, just curious. I've read all sorts of stuff. Doesn't mean I buy it, and it doesn;t mean young guys in the military buy it either.

I'm certain there are people who WANT them to, but the miliary is a great leveler. People learn tolerance and acceptance of others when they are working with them, and when they are helping each other, depending on each other as they must to survive in the military.
