Nah, that ain't it. It's the shit-heel comparing two dissimilar groups and generalizing an occupation they likely couldn't, and wouldn't, be able to join. What sucks about people like you is that if you've lived through a natural disaster in the US, it was likely local military who helped after the fact, or attempted to mitigate damage before it struck. But sure, it's the racism.
