[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That reminds of the bar fight scene in [i]A Bronx Tale[/i].

Sonny: "Now yous can't leave."

I think inner city people are just much tougher than small town people. Why? Well, we've had to get along in smaller spaces with people from all different walks of life. Small town people just shun and ostracize people. How do I know? My grandparents moved to a small town when my grandfather retired, and the women were NOT nice to my grandmother at all. My grandmother missed being able to walk to her Catholic church, go to the market, and visit with her neighbors.

What exactly is the country music video suggesting? More than a suggesting, it's don't come to our small town because we don't want you here. If they're so tough, why didn't they get into their pick up trucks and drive to the city where the so-called problems are, and do something about it?

We are urban and rural interconnected with each other.

Ugh. Hate it when someone this dumb agrees with me.

Your Bronx Tale analogy is abysmal. Your anecdote about women being mean to your grandmother? Nonsequitur at best (in actuality it’s a tale about a presumably urban woman moving to a rural area and getting her feelings hurt, so runs counter to your alleged point).

“Inner city people” are not remotely tougher than rural or small town people. 95% of both groups are meaningless, ineffectual drones of one type or another. More than half are fat. But the military is drawn almost entirely from the latter. And regular people in rural areas, even the obese ones, deal regularly with a lifestyle that requires a hardier makeup… physical labor, sweating outdoors, bugs and animals, using tools with your own hands. The list goes on. A far cry from ordering DoorDash after yoga.

The song remains shockingly bad and stupid. [/quote]

You are not entirely correct in the assumptions you are making about who is joining the military.

Military recruits are most often middle class people from the burbs - some rural, some urban, but mostly the burbs and from all over the country. Quite honestly for all of its shortcomings our military has always been on the forefront of diversity and is more representative of the country as a whole than any other organization - as it should be.
