In my short couple years as a soldier I was never in danger but was in a support role training for the possibility of needing to keep a combat communications center operational. That training was my first experience with anything computer-y. I met great people, learned a lot about a lot of different things, challenged myself mentally and physically, and am glad I played a small part.
Forget Trump for a minute and say thank you to a veteran. Chances are if you aren't one someone in you life was or is.
No. Soldiers agree to be a dictator's henchmen, just like a gang with massive resources. When that president/government -that owns the army too- decides to beat the shit out of somebody -and call it foreign policy- their soldiers -sorry; his "henchmen"- jump in out of nowhere like idiots to form a human shield around its ass butchering and blowing any person who comes close to the leader. In blind almost crazy loyalty.
It was proven during the time of "Bush the son" that blind loyalty led many American soldiers to die without a cause like waste, for a lie called the WMDs. Other examples are numerous.
So do you blindly thank the older generation to contribute to a president's/government's mad commands?
