Now don't get me wrong jacked 19 year old boys in uniform definitely get me going, but they aren't heroes or anything. Sure they protect us from the "terrorists" we created in the process of destabalizing the middle east, but when was the last time they protected us from a nation actually waging war on us? Been a while. Alright hear me out here . . . I respect people, but I don't put the members of our military on a pedestal. Just because you got tricked into doing a bunch of morally questionable nonsense for our country does not mean I have to respect you for it. Also I don't think you deserve praise for joining. It doesn't take courage to go your whole life being someone's child only to then sign up to lose the autonomy adulthood would have earned you. Now i'm supposed to innately respect you for signing up to basically have strict parents for 4 years? That's pretty gay dude. Alright i'm gonna drink a few more beers and pass out. I feel like a few of you dumbasses might be ex marines or something and just know I don't respect you go eat some fucking crayola or something.
