By "rest of the forum" do you mean a few hateful Trump cultists who constantly question my patriotism and my mental health? If so, then you're right on the money.
The fact is, much of what motivates posters on forums like this is their past or present connections to government.
Even if we accept the poll results at face value, it demonstrates a MASSIVELY disproportionate number of people with past or present employment in government compared to general society. No wonder then that I run into so many mindless government apologists while posting at places like this. And I'm not saying there is anything inherently wrong with working in or with government. As I already noted, I worked for the government for four years during my military service. And I know perfectly reasonable people who work in government and do not turn into reactionary government apologists. But it would be myopic to ignore the influence that working in or with the government can have on an individual's political ideology. CLEARLY, forums like this are proof of that.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

No, I thought you were in the military. What else could explain the utter chutzpah of someone accusing a combat vet of being anti-American? Normally, the only people with the guts to say that to me are other vets. But you never served a day in your life, which makes your galling accusations all the more incredible. While I was risking my life and limb fighting a war for the US against our sworn enemies, you were sitting on the couch watching Fox News or something. You are a real character, fella!
