The soldier should not be seen as the pinnacle of a democratic society. Obama a few months back mentioned the soldier ideal as something every citizen should aspire to (paraphrasing, don't have the exact quote on hand). Guns and the military are two things that are deeply, deeply linked and ingrained in the American conscience, and military strength is prioritized over just about any type of social strength in the country.
I don't agree with you. Explain why you don't agree with me, and I'll respond.
