OK, so the "Current" member of the armed forces is only current because in the military you need to be active duty in order to be in detention.
I'm a little confused as to the wording here. Typically detention is in the brig and if they are in the brig regardless of what rank they went in as they are busted down to private.
I understand artistic liberty but it seems they are intentionally stretching this. And i while heartedly understand that there could be some active duty Marines that are neo nazi's. The examples given are a stretch to me.
what makes it a stretch?
Is a private not a serving member of the military?
I think he means that they're only 'active' because they're in detention, but they're not 'active' in the sense that we normally think of it as in actively serving in a role.
Sort of like saying that residents of a town are gang affiliated when they're only there because that's where the prison is located.
