I wouldn’t really call it socialist because it’s not self-funding. The 99% of non-military people put a huuuuuuuge amount of money into the military community to fund its creation and existence.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a meritocracy either because it's way easier to buy your way into being an officer than any E-to-O program and because who gets promoted in a difficult rate can get very political very quickly.

So it's neither of those things.
