10:1 odds this guy didn’t serve himself.

It looks like 'behind our troops' is waiting for takeoff confirmation.

if you can't stand, feel free to stand

That's very nice of the man.

I think people forget that conscription ended years ago, and military personnel do get paid.

At least here in Australia, not one person I know joined to "serve their country". It was literally for lots of other reasons

They get paid well. They're doing a job and people should respect everyone equally, including waiters or even people working in stores

Most people in the military feel the same. Everyone I knew when I was in hated being thanked for their service. Most didn't join to serve their country, they joined for the benefits that come with it.

So stand between the troops and the Ram?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

No, you stand behind the troops, so he can hit them first

I have personally helped two veterans out of a downward spiral. One I helped from homelessness all the way to being the foreman to a crew of dedicated home remodelers (he made $60k+ per year). I bailed them out, multiple times, and paid their legal costs because our system of "justice" is abusive and designed to prey on the poor. I NEVER thank a service member for their service and I never do any symbolic theatre like the dipshit on the photo who I guarantee you has never done a thing to help a vet in his life. People that really want to help, just do it. People like that asshole just talk and pretend.

PS: After years of drug abuse, the vet I helped got clean and got his life together (the foreman), because life is a sadistic fucker, got diagnosed with chronic heart disease. It was because of his past drug abuse (meth). His heart slowly failed, so he had time to ponder and he knew it was coming. Please don't judge me too harshly but I've never been able to help anyone else like that since. That just sucked too much. Rest in peace Tyler. You deserved better.

Thanks for helping when you could. (Not that you need the thanks). A lot of time the people that need help don't get it because they don't know how to ask. I know veterans like to keep quiet about shit, so that must have been tough for you to get him on the right track.

His body might not have been able to recover for a longer life, but you helped him end his life on a more positive note. Addiction is rough and we all make dumb mistakes, but not everyone can get back on track. Any of his friends/family that talked to him after he got clean have more loving memories of him because of your help. That's a good thing, but I understand the toll it takes on you as the helper.

You rock! 🪨

I'm against how our troop are used and abused then largely dumped to fend for themselves. Usually with the approval of dipshits that put messages like that on the DUI king of trucks.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this person has never once done anything that would actually help service members or veterans.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's because "Support our troops" has never been about supporting the actual humans in the military--it's always been about supporting the wars those troops are fed into and the administrations that wage them.

To be generous, some of it might also come from memories of shitty treatment of returning soldiers in the Vietnam era. But for all of my adult life, it has just been a rebuttal to people expressing anti-war sentiment. The exact same way that "Back the Blue" is a rebuttal to people protesting police violence.

And they support Trump who publicly hates veterans.

To be fair, he stood waaaay behind our troops. Because of those debilitating bone spurs.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever met a single person who has something against any military personnel for being military personnel. Just the war machine they're a part of. We ain't in post Vietnam anymore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Im not in the US but I've heard many people argue that joining the military (beyond mandatory service) makes you right wing. My country's military doesn't even leave the country.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's even worse because of the huge misalignment. Tape some guidelines at least?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How am I just now hearing the literal use of "guidelines" for the first time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

So many words evolve, and if you're not in an industry that uses the original way, you never learn it. There are toooons of words like this.

It has a nice little rhyme. So cool that this dude is sharing his poetry with everyone.

Jesus Christ I'm so tired of having to take these absolute morons seriously. In their tiny pea brain they think they're making a brilliant point here. "I are good guy, you am bad guy" Maybe democracy really is a mistake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The biggest argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

You cannot have proper democracy without proper information channels, so do not disqualify democracy for something it hasn't done.
