Before I saw the light of The World of Next Tuesday™ at the end of the tunnel, I joined the evil forces that claim to protect these United States of Amerikkka. Ah, the naiveté of youth. It was a long youth; 22 years, actually. Now I teach in public school, so I am right at home with my fellow communists correct thinking Americans.
But now, now I see that I had served as part of the most racist organization the world has ever known! The U.S. Armed Forces.
It is no better today then when it fought the Revolutionary War to protect slavery. Or when it fought the Civil War that freed the slaves caused Jim Crow. Or when it fought after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
I see now that the signs are everywhere! Particularly in the names of ranks. In the Army we have Master Sergeant and Chief Warrant Officers. The Marines have Master Sergeant and Master Gunnery Sergeants (how violent and oppressive does that sound)! The Navy is not immune, with their Chief Petty Officers AND MASTER CHIEF Petty Officers. Holy Crow! How racist is that! Although, I must admit, the offensiveness is slightly offset by their acknowledgment of being petty. This racism applies to the Coast Guard also. Then there's the Air Force. They put the Chief before the Master and have way too many ranks anyway and way too many stripes on those ranks. But I digress.
I call for the renaming of all these offensive ranks immediately! Except that I have no ideas. I really haven't had an original idea since 11/11/2017, 2:41 pm.
