At Bronx Latino Festival, the Army Sponsors the Music

NYT. The subtext is all about “How DARE the ARMY approach OUR underclass?! Don’t they realize that these people ought to be manning the barricades here at home, not driving around freeing people overseas?!”
Unfortunately for the Brahmin caste, many of the underclass are determined not to stay there. They rightly see the military as an environment where they can get paid a decent wage for work that needs doing, from which they can get a leg up into the middle class. This doesn’t sit well with the People of the Crust, of course, whose power depends upon an uneducated proletariat steeped in Identity Politics whose votes can be bought with taxpayer money.
