“”The appropriate question to ask in regards to Wright is not, “Did he once serve his country?” Rather, it is, “Would he do it again if given the chance?” Clearly, to pose the question is to answer it. One who posits that “racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run” would never lift a finger to defend it.”"

Might it be better to try and ascertain this answer than simply presume the response to be favorable to your position? I think you do a disservice to those in uniform by presuming they all think alike and never criticize America, via hyperbole or otherwise. Just because you and Wright disagree, why do you then think he won’t defend to the death the right to do so? Isn’t that what America’s really about?
