This post embodies exactly what I mean when I say the military is over-glorified. You got people like Rodney here. I don't know you, so you obviously don't know me. You don't know my military history at all, so it's definitely not a subject you can speak on. As long as ignorant fucks can bad mouth your commander in chief, I'll bad mouth the military, and you Rodney, wouldn't do a fucking thing about it. But I'm not going to bad mouth the military. I never have. However I am going to bad mouth you.

It's of no surprise you are or were in the military. Your english skills make it evident you dropped out of high school and thus had nowhere else to go with your life. But that's good. The armed forces gives a lot of young men the direction they need to move forward with their lives. They also help pay for higher education, which you obviously didn't take advantage of, or you would have read my post more clearly and we wouldn't be in the position we're in right now. In some people, the military brings out the inner entitled jack ass that was before repressed. The kind of self-important cocksucker that thinks that because he wears a uniform, he's somehow more bad ass than his fellow citizens.

This is where you fit in. To say you put your life on the line for my freedom, when you and I both know you're not fighting for my freedom, disgraces your predecessors before you who actually did put a uniform on and fought for my freedom. You and I both know you're a washed up lackey. Another pawn in a seemingly endless battle for control.

The ICBM argument is moot. Neither you, nor I have fired one, and its so far from the original topic, it's not even worth rehashing.

So this is why I'm upset at the military. Because there are too many people like you. People who think the world owes them something all the time. Even one would be too many. Just sit back and enjoy the ride you volunteered for. I crack you off a piece of my check every week. I don't think I owe someone like you much else.

Any serving member is defending your freedom daily from foreign hostile forces. If you were to disband the military, do you believe that we would not be attacked by other countries looking to capture our natural resources? Go look at history.

You think the minor amount of compensation that servicemen get is why they put their lives on the line? You think that is enough for them? Your mentality really falls in line with the French philosophy, and we know that they would be speaking German now if it weren't for the US.
