They just shot themselves in the foot. Well, good.

[quote]I recently joined the Socialist Rifle Association and reached out to my local chapter to join, trying to make some like-minded friends with similiar (sic) interests. I was really excited, and thought it would be a good chance to build a social group around things I’m passionate about. As part of applying to join the local chapter, I had to do a 45 minute interview with two members, which I thought went pretty well, and I was looking forward to being made a full member.

Then, yesterday, I got told that my application to join the chapter was denied, because I’m in the national guard. They said they currently have a policy against letting servicmembers join their chapter.

To be honest, I get it. With everything going on with how the military is being used currently, I understand not wanting to let servicemembers join an organization like that, but it’s really frustrating I got told AFTER paying for a membership, and wasting my time on the interview. Granted, I can still be a member of SRA as a whole, and participate in their online forums, but the whole reason I joined was to form some in-person relationships with my local chapter.

Sorry to rant a bit, but I do actually have a point to sharing this. If anyone else here is a liberal servicemember, thinking of joining the SRA, do so with caution. Reach out to your local chapter and make sure they don’t have an issue with your service before wasting your time and money.p/quote]
