[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 75957564, member: 302807"] I wouldn't necessarily disagree. It's over the top. I don't know if it's hysterical. There's definitely a vocal group of Neo-Marxists whether or not they realize that is the origin of their ideas. Marxist theory is centered on dialectic materialism...which for obvious reasons doesn't take hold in western civilization very well. Neo-Marxism therefore attempts to find oppression elsewhere, either with minorities (religious or racial) or in feminism as an impetus for revolution. So...for the sake of discussion...obviously he can't be endorsing political views explicitly or implicitly as a service member (I'm pretty sure they have a rule against that). On the flip side though....he also can't adopt Neo-Marxist ideas while upholding his oath either (regardless of which branch, I'm pretty sure there's a line about protecting the Constitution from enemies without and within the states). The military is ethically obligated to remain politically nuetral (though arguably it's core ideology is inherently Nationalistic just like any other military). So I suppose this puts him at a sort of rock vs hard place situation in the event that Neo-Marxist ideas are actually being introduced into the military. I don't know if they are, of course, but if they are....I don't know exactly what he should do. [/QUOTE]
