Please quit using the military as your glorious example of socialism...
... unless you add some qualifiers and asterisks.

Every member of the modern military has...

a) chosen to join voluntarily

b) continues to contribute or they are removed from that system

I see certain individuals use the military as an example of the "ultimate socialism" but to apply our systems to the real world is impossible as there is an inordinately higher amount of dead wight that does not contribute in the civilian world and also no one here would accept opting out for non-contribution.

My 2 cents... carry on...
