Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Yes, we'll all feel a lot better about ourselves if we convince ourselves that it's all an act, that it's just imitation...
I don't buy it however.
Males in their first year in the military are typically young, inexperienced and for many it's the first time away from mommy. We were all thrown into a macho enviroment without anyone to comfort us. Let's face it; humans need a calming touch, like the one your parents or girlfriend will give. Unfortunately, they're not in the military. And since providing such comfort to another man is GAY, and just admitting that you need it is unmanly, we created the gay jokes as an excuse to touch each other without being accused of being gay.

The best way to have cohesion in the army is for every soldier to be a white, heterosexual, male, Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Is it now? What about the guy who insists on listening to RnB when the others like rock?
What about the really religious guy thrown in the midst of secular soldiers who hate preachers?
What about the guy who is openly racist on a team where the other members have good african american friends?
And the list goes on....

As I said they should all be Protestants.
As I said they should all be white, preferably Anglo-Saxon.
As long as they share their WASP heritage I don't think these minor issues matter. We don't all have to be the exact same, they're going to fight the communists you know!

There's no difference in how religious people are in your world?
And no white people have black friends....?
One of the main reasons we hated one guy in our platoon was because of his insistance to listen to and talk about his hiphop crap that nobody else could stand. The reason that was my first point was because of real experience

Jesus said you are either for him or against him., there is no middle ground.
No, that would be immoral.
If you are so filled with hate as to ostracise someone over their taste of music, then I am sorry that you are such an intolerant person.One of the main reasons we hated one guy in our platoon was because of his insistance to listen to and talk about his hiphop crap that nobody else could stand.
