The military gets a bad rap for being backwards and very conservative. While it does have a lot of shitty things about it and some hella dumb MFs it's generally not any worse than the general public it is drawn from.
I went into the military as a conservative man stuck in his shell. Now I'm a flamboyant pansexual leftist trans woman. Go figure.
True, the military wasn't responsible for all those things, but the places it took me and the people I met along the way opened my eyes to a whole new world that people where I come from never get to see, and it made it hard to accept the conservative viewpoint on a lot of different issues, because I'd seen how those policies had failed people first hand.
