Trying to selectively choose who YOU feel is a patriot in the military is a complete bitch move.

I'm saying that "patriotic" is irrelevant to what goes into developing an effective fighting force. i'm sure lots of midgets are fiercely patriotic.
As i said, the military discriminates as it is for this very reason.
Furthermore, "patriotic" absolutely is a conservative vs liberal thing. Conservatives are far more sensitive to group loyalty and associated symbolism (tribe, community, city, state, country etc) as well as threats to the group and security than Liberals who have a very dim sensitivity or none at all to these issues (see Jonathan Haidt and "moral matrices").
Granted there is a scale like everything but it's not EVER conservatives burning flags, aiding and comforting and defending the enemy or calling soldiers baby killers....
FACT.
Suicide rates alone on Trannies is troubling... but of course, in everyone's quest for a flawed perception of justice, no one actually cares about deaths that are happening right now to that very group.
