“The concept of the Citizen-Soldier is one of American originalism. Two hundred years prior to the Articles of Confederation and later the Bill of Rights, every Man’s task was security and maintenance of order in the colonies, not just those of the British, but the French and Spanish as well. The New World was a hostile, feral place. Rival civilizations sought to eliminate the others’ presence and the brutality of the era was well documented. Like all things, it is a reality relegated to history books, a thing which modern civilization fancies a complete separation, and one which we are rapidly revisiting. The world is the same as it ever was, no matter how fancy the Potemkin village we pretend exists may be.

In parallel to this is an interesting animal some mistakenly call the Vet-Bro, or, GWOT Vets that exited early and took up their grift married to their previous jobs in one way or another. The irony of most of them is that their mission, and by proxy, their oath, was to the Constitution and thus the American People. We like to believe the Boomer myth that the military and in particular the Special Operations community nebulous is a bastion of Right wing thought. Not so. Their loyalty is to a paycheck, the top of that heap being K street. One would assume, and many do, that these would be the most Patriotic of Americans, thus the sting of those letdowns is made even more so when the mask slips, either accidentally or with purpose.”
