Yeah, I find the whole, "He's in fatigues! Let's call him a hero." thing boring at this point. I've been around military worship for years. It doesn't reflect whatsoever the caliber of the huge variety of people in the military.

Mhm. It's mostly nonsense. I know some complete lunatics who were in the military in one branch or another. One guy, Army, is a piece of shit drunk and pill popper who got in trouble for beating the living fuck out of his wife... And I don't mean just like smacking her around or something, I mean that's horrible enough. No, not just some smacking around. This was like a half hour of him keeping her trapped in their house, beating the shit out of her, resting for a few minutes, then going at it again, wash rinse and repeat for about 30 minutes. Apparently he threw her down the stairs at one point because she was pregnant. All kinds of fucked up shit. She didn't even look like herself when I saw the photos of her. Of course, her dumb ass chose to stay with him for like another year before they split, if I'm not mistaken.

But yeah, try to imagine how horrifying that'd be.... being stuck in a house for almost 30 minutes while some lunatic refuses to let you leave and just wails on you, punches you, kicks you, throws you down stairs, etc. Fucking terrible.

Another guy, Marine, was a crack head piece of shit. Granted, addiciton ain't no joke, and I'm not judging the guy based on the fact that he liked drugs. Same as the last guy, it wasn't the drugs, it was that outside of the drugs he was a total POS. He was also a wife-beater. Landed himself in prison because he came home to some guy banging his wife one day. Apparently he wasn't dickin her down good enough. Loser, lol. But seriously, so he beats the fuck out of her, and the guy, goes to prison and then gets involved with fucking skinheads or Aryan brotherhood or whatever the fuck. Total racist, wife-beating POS...

The list goes on.

So, when I hear "Support the troops"... well... support them with what? and how? And why? I might have some extra change in my cupholder... beyond that, Good luck and godspeed, dude, cause I don't fucking know you.

You don't automatically get any more respect from me just because you're in the military. Pieces of human garbage exist in every profession.

Now if you joined the military because you really did have this romanticized, fairy-tale vision of protection your country... well I think that's really fucking naive and stupidly dangerous.. but in a weird way, I have some admiration for a decision like that. But let's be honest, a lot of military guys are just like cops. They didn't know what the fuck else they were going to do with their lives so they upped and joined the military, or the police force, or whatever.

Don't even get me started on police lol
