Is the implication here that you, being a member of the military, are somehow doing "shit" to make the world better? I'd continue on this topic, but that would require assumptions that i dont feel like making until i hear your place on this issue.
But dissenting voices are necessery in a democracy, and I'm sorry that you do not see this. Dissenters, from any party, are necessary because all too often we as a nation fall into complacency because its the easier thing to do. Are there better ways to voice this contrary opinion than on a board full of stubborn people who wouldnt admit validity in another person's point even if they saw it? Sure, but you can be sure that if they care enough to bother they more than likely try to make change through voting as well. Of course Its a good idea to do other things as well (letters to the editor, joining political campaigns, going to rallys) but passive politicing is better than none.
