Congratulations to all of you!
I'm loving how there are people responding to this that I've blocked (their comments won't load). I can only imagine what they're complaining about.
In this case, the response you had blocked is worth seeing just because it was weird as fuck:
I hate to double reply... But it's crazy how many mental people are on Lemmy. It blows my mind sometimes.
Try a chan, this is sanity.
I already ate. Thank you though
Oh man. That's sad. It doesn't even make any sense.
"What does congratulating service members have to do with the army things?".
Uhhh
Idk personally, it's a little gay.
I honorably laughed. Oh you
Not sure, who you are congratulating and what does love have to do with army related things?
Damn, that's the shortest memory I've ever seen. I'd give you a medal or something, but you might forget what it is and try to eat it.
I'll give you a hint about who I'm congratulating then:
As for what that has to do with love, I'm sorry that you don't understand what they told that they weren't supposed to tell.
Maybe you need to look up what Don't Ask Don't Tell was?
You can read about the context of Don't Ask Don't Tell on Wikipedia.
Or the article itself also explains why the other commentator wrote that ;)
