I constantly run into ignorant comments left by people and they will just resort in name calling. I may be liberal, but I respect everyone's points of views. Or every now and then I'll run into someone who's apparently served in the military and they'll tell me it makes them sick that people like me exist in this country when they're fighting for my freedom to be a "Libtard". Aren't people in the army taught to have respect and honor? I mean...I'm a University student, but I don't talk down to people.
My husband, who has been in the military twice, says mostly they are taught to disdain civilians. Respect and honor are reserved for other service people only. Perhaps that was not true in the past, but is true of current training. This was a serious answer. If this is true, then this sort of attitude is unsurprising.
