AA men and women serve this nation's military

[The Polack MSgt]

At a rate higher than white Americans do. There are many reasons for the disparity - an opportunity for training and tuition assistance, travel, a steady paycheck and often it's a way out of a poor situation.

It's odd that certain Americans that loudly profess their patriotism often down play and dismiss this service. (JK it isn't at all odd or surprising)

And then there are the Alt-Right racists. People who hate - well they hate all of us here in DU, but AA and other POC particularly.

People like Sean Urbanski a member of the Alt-Reich Nation who didn't like it when a black man would not step aside when he was told to by a white man

So the US Army just lost a young brand new Second Lieutenant to extremist violence, killed in an attack - In Maryland.

3. RIP 2LT Richard Collins III

Just UGH. 😥😥😥

I used to NEVER talk about my service at work until the MAGA people started talking that patriotism bullshit.

And the only folks in my office who served were people of color. We started to make sure we discussed our tours and experiences proudly. And they were noticeably silent after they realized what the real deal was.

Fuck these fake patriot racists.

Rest in Paradise....

4. Yes, it was a hate crime.

These f'ing Nazis need to be driven out to live away from civilized society. Let them spew their vile hatred at each other.

RIP 2LT Collins.
