The us military learned this lesson early, and the hard way - by fucking up and trying everything else first in true american fashion. There are tens of thousands of immigrants serving in critical roles in our military as a path to citizenship - which has been a thing since our country's founding. PFC Bumgartener isn't going to suddenly turn on his battlebuddy PFC Ruiz on the say so of some clown in washington or because suburban moms and dads have racial resentments. That's a critical stopgap - as accidental and cynical as it is. Because suppressing civilians is one thing - being told that you have to turn your guns in on the unit is another entirely - and it makes you ineffective at both, either way.
Thanks for the explanation.

But why?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Following that logic: a woman who votes republican is no longer a woman.

Tennessee US Rep. Andy Ogles files articles of impeachment against VP Kamala Harris
Ogles announced Tuesday a second impeachment resolution against Harris, according to a Politico story.
In a Tuesday announcement first reported by Fox News, Ogles is also urging Harris to invoke the 25th amendment amid concerns over Biden's health. The 25th Amendment allows for the permanent or temporary removal of the president if they are unable to fulfill the duties of the office.

Someone has spoken, and removed all doubt. They've been outed, and it stings. They are outhurt.

Yeah, Mr. Ogles hasn’t thought this through. Invoking the 25th would make Harris the president, giving her the incumbency advantage.
Or maybe he’s just look for some press coverage…

People can't think of enough things to rage on Kamala about so some are freaking out over her wearing Chucks.
I've had mine a couple years and they look like new...they are going to get worn A LOT now. I may even have to get some more.
