re: What motivated you to join the military?

This is false. Civilians pay military tribute a lot, but rarely do you find a military member demanding civilians to respect him for serving. I appreciate days like Veterans Day and when people thank me for my service, but you'll never see me approach someone in real life or on a message board asking for attention and appreciation.

Military seem to think their lives are more valuable than civilians

They ARE you ignorant self absorbed fool. They signed up of their own free will and the fought and died to preserve the very freedom that you have right now in being able to make much more money than you are worth while playing on the internet. Don't you know ANYTHING about this subject? Don't you know that this very military is a deterrent to aggressors that would happily own your arse right now? Don't you know you wouldn't be able to pay for their benefits if you were living like the people in the Ukraine right now?

No, you don't know even this simple stuff because you think you know it all. You have never served but you know all about it. You SHOULD have worn the uniform. You would be twice the man you are today. As it stands right now you aren't worthy to stand near the grave of a fallen soldier.

So give your sympathy to the kid that was gunned down in the street ... and consider not the so many more that enjoy life because of the brave. As for me, I'll be sad for the innocent kid and it's family BUT I'll salute the fallen soldier and I'll thank all my brothers for what they have done to preserve and assure our freedom.
