It seems like every unit in the military today says they are "Elite." Elite: "a select part of a group that is superior to the rest in terms of ability or qualities."
But the average soldier is just that: average. And in a day and age when so many think the country is going to hell in a handbasket, it's reassuring to know that these soldiers are clear about the democratic ideals we value. And one of those values is tolerance. In a way, it's surprising anyone thinks this soldier's response is anything but ordinary.
Some interesting comments prior but skip ahead to 4:40 if you just want to see what happens with him. Note that the "Muslim" clerk and the bigot are both actors.
