* Anyone who\u2019s served in the Army and Marines has met dozens of Natives. Modern Native culture is *INCREDIBLY* \u201clittle c\u201d conservative. It\u2019s almost amazing, it feels like you\u2019re talking to a character reenactor \u201cplaying a 1950s guy\u201d. They join the armed forces in vastly disproportionate numbers, they are genteel and polite to an almost fault, they still hold on to lofty American values almost everyone else abandoned. Every one, to a man, I met did an amazing job of simultaneously holding two identities, Tribal and American, without cognitive dissonance or (((loyalty problems))).

She married a white guy and has a good life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
