None of you guys can even comprehend what African Americans deal with in this country.

elaborate. You act like no one on this board other than you is black, or that no one on this board can relate to what african Americans deal with in this country unless they are black (news flash - kaepernick isn't black but he can comprehend?).

Struggle isn't unique to color, my friend. Struggle and oppression are felt by women, those below a certain socioeconomic level, below a certain education level, etc.

This country is far from perfect, but it is the best option for so many. the opportunity and freedoms we have here are unique. I've lived in other countries - not all great places. We've got it better than most.

Thank you for your service. Coming from a military background, I appreciate the unique perspective members of our military have on a variety of societal issues.
