Question prompted by Vet's Day...

GTFO with this nonsense

and FTR, USAF vet checking in

What a fricking joke of a post.

USMC 0311 to 0321 to 0372 you're welcome for keeping you safe on your ship.

Navy the poster is my dude though he seems like a real man unlike OP

Thank you for your service.

Your thread sucks almost as bad as your politics.

I MAGA'ed as a combat engineer US ARMY

OP, Thanks for your service!

Calling out people who haven't served is a classy move.

You know, as someone who never served but came from a military family, I get a little sick of this notion of military elitism that's come out the past 15 years or so. This idea that one is looked down upon because they didn't serve. I buried a brother 15 years ago, who was killed in action in the Navy. I buried another good good friend who was a Captain in the Army.

So, thank you for your service, but you can take your self righteous attitude and self righteously frick off.

A Navy guy would be a Hillary fan

What would you say is the % of Poli Board posters who are abject chicken hawks who never served their country?

I happened to mention on FB that some hundreds of Syrians were relocated about 5 miles from me and that I didn't like it.


This immedaitely appeared:

"They will probably keep to themselves. Don't be paranoid."

And:

"i understand your apprehension, but the best thing you can do to prevent any conflict is be respectful and welcoming... when people don't feel welcomed, the cluster in groups of their own which reinforces their negative stereotype. If you want to make a positive difference let them get assimilated...."

Both responses from women. Of course. They don't have the right frame of reference.

God knows I tried....I tried to enlist in all five but was turned down because of my eyesight (very bad vision in one eye). This was in 1998-1999. Tried once more to get into the Air Force before I got too old and was turned down again. I'm just about the only male in my family who hasn't done some length of service, but no one gives me a hard time about it. It still irks me though. Not everyone who hasn't served isn't because they didn't want to.
