I may not have joined to do the same job as you, but I definitely have seen way more cocks than any of you.





Thanks Infantry.

I saw a recent stolen valor thread, and I saw Longhorn789's thread.  

The US Military is a paying job that you have to sign up for.  You have to actively seek the job, sign some kind of contract, go through some training, then do the job.  Anyone who signs up knows that the military fights and kills other humans in other countries.  So it's not like you didn't see that coming.  It's pretty obvious that the job can get you maimed or dead, because the other humans fight back.  

Okay.  

If you get drafted and forced to fight in a combat arena, you're serving.  

If you volunteer for a school board or as a firefighter, you're serving.  

If you choose to join the military, you're just taking a paying job.  May if you wanna serve in the military, burn all your paychecks.  

****************

I respect anyone who was honorably discharged from the armed forces after completion of a term of employment.  

But some of you need to get off your high horse.  There is nothing seen or done in the military that I cannot fathom.  You can claim special brotherhood or died-in-my-arms or louder-bangs or dirtier-country situations than I could ever understand, but in fact, I can easily understand all of that.  I have a normal human mind.  

Your term of employment in the military does not earn you an exalted status in society.  I'm really sorry, but if you got your legs blown off at your place of employment, your employer should compensate and care for you accordingly, and I will give you the same courtesy I would give to anyone with a physical disability, but I won't fall to my knees and worship your personal sacrifice made while saving my country from certain ruin, because you weren't conscripted and because you didn't save my country from anything.  

Rather, of your own free will, you took a paying job in the military at a time when there was no tangible sovereign threat to national security, but when our govt was willing to send humans to hostile nations to root out and "prosecute" their criminals because they are unwilling or unable to do it themselves.  IMO, this is really bad government.  Why send a single human when you can send a missile instead?  I've never heard of an arab nation that was worth a single American life, but I would gladly send tens of thousands of tomahawks and bombs until whatever perceived threat in that locale ceased being a threat.  

I digress.  

If you're a vet of a recent foreign war, I respect your choices and actions in the same way that I respect the choices and actions of any self-sufficient, self-supporting, upstanding citizen of this country.  But not more than that.  

And some of you should know:  the fact that I didn't sign up for the same job as you doesn't make me a pussy.  Maybe I signed up for a job that paid more money and maimed fewer people.  In fact, I'm not a pussy.  I'm a big mean fast smart motherfucker.  

I owe the WWII vets a debt of gratitude and the highest possible respect because they made immense sacrifices to save the fucking world, but if we're going to be frank about things, until you save my country or save the world, I don't owe you shit.  I don't see immense sacrifices, I see a paying job in a dangerous industry and you chose to take it.  

If you don't want to get shot at and blown up while fighting freedom-hating, women-hating, uneducated, stupid, ugly, inbred, donkey-fucking, little-boy-fucking, neanderthal indigenous guerrillas in ugly sandy shitholes, then get a different job.  

If you do want to do that, then take that job and take that money, but don't come back and insist that the rest of us owe you something.

Go google/Youtube search for Gwynn Dyers' 1983 documentary series entitled "WAR".
Watch the episode "Anyone's Son Will Do".

Some sobering insight into the nature of military service.

Can't commit. I've never seen the man. I have no idea if I'd fuck him or not.

I'll never understand why anyone with citizenship and an education would sign up but more power to you if you did/do. I could never talk myself into taking a job making half of what I could by going to college and then occasionally getting shot at. Seems like a raw deal to me. At least I'm honest about it and don't drone on about how I would've joined if it hadn't been for bad knees/eyes/heart/sick grandma/whatever.



Strangely enough, at the height of it's empire a large portion of Rome's army was brown people wanting citizenship and poor white people from the lower classes who couldn't find better work. It worked out quite well for hundreds of years.
