The US in pretty much split and I'm not sure it's reparable at this point. A split in the union is becoming more and more likely. We don't have any decent leaders and the two running for president are about as inspiring as sticks in the mud. I hope I'm wrong!
I agree, true leaders unite. Having been in the military I saw this all the time!
It is the same up here and that is by design as far as I am concerned. If they can have us spend our attention in religious debates, we have less time to focus on helping each other and recognize the system fleecing us.
Military must be an interesting place these days.
It's definitely not the military I knew and I only resigned my commission five years ago!
