My experience was quite the opposite. While I certainly wasn't a racist by any means before enlisting into the military, I grew up in a very white community. I just wasn't around other ethnicities. But in the military I was living with them, working with them, drinking with them. And not just other ethnicities, but people from all walks of life. The military completely burst the bubble I had been living in my whole life. And in that regard, at least, I feel I am a better person as a result of my time in service.
That said, I did see plenty of racists in the military who didn't change for the better. But I doubt many people become racist as a result of their time in the military.
I don't think much about your posts, Caine, and that fits with what I think about the tool bag's opinion piece.Becoming A Racist: The Unfortunate Side Effect Of Serving Your Country? | HuffPost A tool bag of a "journalist" for the "Huffington Post" decided to write an entirely opinion based article that essentially suggests that our service members are being turned into racists during their tour of duty.

True story:
We get to RTC Great Lakes, get moved around fast, get put into a "company" and marched to barracks. As soon as we get a couple minutes, a guy from sticks down south walks up to the biggest black dude and says "Are you black? I never seen a black person before except on TV! Is it true you like fried chicken, watermelon and have a big dick?" Every one stepped back. Then the black guy(wish I remember his name, he was hilarious 24/7) says "Well, I do enjoy fried chicken and watermelon, and I bet my dick is bigger than yours.", then he kinda laughed and we all relaxed.

My experience was the opposite. Not sure why anyone would believe the tripe in the article, unless they're pushing an agenda.
Adria was another story. She didn’t get Howard’s humor at all and thought he was a misogynist. It didn’t help matters that Howard wanted to be able to ask the girls to kiss each other if we came on. He didn’t care whether they did or not, he just wanted to be able to tease them and get some good radio out of it. Adria refused. In spite of promising the crew, made up of her friends, she would do whatever she could to promote the final product, she ultimately sank the entire ship, single handedly.
