So you're implying that you volunteered for combat as much out of guilt as outrage, and it apparently annoys you that more well heeled liberals didn't do likewise. Meanwhile you suggest that most "bullet dodgers" were assigned from the bottom of the achievement scale. That sounds more like an indictment of the military than of the proverbial chicken hawks.

Are you saying that anyone who doesn't qualify for jobs outside of the ground combat ones are somehow at the bottom of the achievement scale? Just because someone doesn't have higher aptitude doesn't mean they should be looked at like a sub-human. Do you get why MAGA hates people like you who look down on the lower-aptitude cohort now? No offense, but you come off as sounding like someone from one of the higher rungs of society in Brave New World here.
