One of the persistent myths with which the barking moonbat left comforts itself is that the military largely comprises low-IQ, knuckle-dragging grunts wearing tattoos that say “Kill them all…” without the “…and let God sort them out” punchline, men and women who lack any understanding of history, culture, or context.
