You didn't do squat for my freedoms.
You sure killed millions of people and overthrew governments, though.

Why I did what I did is none of your concern.
We're trying to love you too Sister....you just play hard to get...

Little boy, I don't need/want your type of "love" since it usually involves killing and stealing.

I didn't drink the Kool-Aid either.
No......the military is for a reason...........to protect this country (And You) from enemies both foreign and domestic as well as our interests. You should appreciate our men and women in uniform for the job they do. I see you consider yourself a aging hippie. That explains everything now.

You have protected me from nothing, you've been the aggressor.

I appreciate the military as much as I appreciate anyone else with a job, no more, no less.
They apply and get paid for their job.

The military is welfare for idiots.

Pssst, proper English usage would be "an aging hippie".
Are you saying that I'm not special because I'm an aging hippie? But, but, but, I'm also a vet.

Hahahahaha.

You'd be supprized at the "gray" whiskers of this "little boy".

I also have a knee injury currently.

Want to suck out the water again for me?

I've met the haters many times before. Most never made it past an E2/3....IF THEY were lucky.

Guess you fell asleep on the civics class and military training part where they tell you you get orders from the commander in chief. You know, the president?

The military doesn't go off on it's own and start attacking various groups / nations on it's own. It waits for orders from the commander in chief and obeys those orders.

So, logically, it's the president which is the aggressor and uses the military to carry the president's policies out. I cannot believe I have to sit here and explain this simple concept.

And the presidents you voted for either started these wars (Vietnam, Libya) or worried more about getting his anatomy taken care of so we appeared weak. Yes, the presidents YOU voted for caused the policies you apparently despise. So why are you taking your own failed judgements out on people who have no control over that situation?

They get paid so stop acting like it's a charity service. Pretty sure the majority are going in for the college and not for patriotic feelings of duty.

I can say that I am proud to have taken part in that fight. I retired after 20 years of service.
yes our freedoms were in danger from Vietnamese rice farmers.

There were many who signed up for strictly patriotism after Pearl Harbor and 9-11.
