Of course it does, you think someone who has sacrificed their life in war is not more Patriotic than someone who has never served. Because you don't adhere to the premises of white supremacy doesn't mean you are anti-American.
Not everybody in the military sees any war. In fact a lot do not. My neighbor signed up during the Vietnam war because he wanted to fight. Never seen any action. He spent most of his four years in Europe. You don't think I have family that were in the military? The only one who came close to being in a war was my cousins son. They armed him with a camera when he went to Iraq. He was a photographer.
It is irrelevant why the joined, the fact is they made the sacrifice that you didn't and yes that makes them a Patriot over someone who just hugs a flag and claims they are a Patriot. Action speaks louder than words.
So you think Timothy McVehigh is a patriot instead of a domestic terrorist that plotted against our country and killed fellow innocent Americans, huh?
Saying that somebody who joined the military for the benefits only is like saying the gay guy who married the old rich widow did so out of his dire love.
