Calling the military Socialist is a bit of a stretch...

As I recall the Officers ate better, got paid more, ect... Definately privelage with rank (as well as resposibility).

I'm not a combat veteran, just a generic one I guess. But that was what they wanted me to do. (Fix electronic stuff) Basically, my job like many was to keep the kill ratio in our favor. Hopefully, what I did saved one of our guy's life, but I'll never know. For a lot of folks, someone's death is nothing more than a target dissapearing off a screen. (if you even get to see that)

Anyway, like the saying goes the military is there to protect democracy not practice it.
