Liberals generally hate the military institution because they assume it’s conservative. Mostly its conservatives that assume the military to be conservative.
Here’s the reality: There is almost no religious freedom. All churches are non denominational, religious symbols must not be visible on your uniform. Gun control, No soldier can carry a gun on or off duty except when issued one, and the same with ammo. Going to strip clubs and prostitutes is a common pastime even among married soldiers. There is no capitalism among soldiers. All soldiers are trained to think and act the same way.
I knew plenty of liberals in the army, but mostly nobody talked politics. I had the impression that the troops didn’t have a clue about political issues anyway.
I dont know why some feel they have to justify the rules. The point of my question was not to critize the rules, its about political perceptions of the military.

US Army Training Film on the XM16E1 rifle, the first mass-fielded version of the M16 rifle. This is the version with chrome-plated bolt carrier, no trap door in the buttstock, no forward assist, non-chrome-lined chamber, and three-prong flash suppressor. Somewhat notorious for reliability issues in the jungles of Vietnam, it was upgraded into the much more reliable M16A1 in 1967. Most of the basic information in this video is just as true today for the M16A2/A4 and M4 carbine.

If I have an expunged misdemeanor of domestic violence, will I be qualified to get a federal firearms license? (The punishment was set to doing 43 hours of community work.)
Having such crime expunged would restore gun rights and thus the rights to enlist in the army. How would a firearm dealer do any more harm than a soldier?
Answer carefully!
The misdemeanor is from Norway (Europe) and expunged in Norway, many years before moving to USA.

Diana B: To reply your answer, a Federal Firearms Dealer would be under the supervision of the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) and several Law Enforcement Agencies.
Robert > The problem is, what I did back in Norway according to the court of law, was not and is not considered a crime. BUT I still commited violence.
So what I did was written in that register where speeding tickets go. Not the register of crime. So did I commit a crime in Norway? No. Did I break the law, yes. It’s less than a misdemeanor. So it’s like… a "Speeding ticket" of domestic violence.
