No, but I am.

The point of my comment in stating that I know “a few” people who don’t fit into your broad generalization is well supported by your response. The POINT is that I am only one person and can only know SO many people. The fact that I know a few people who don’t fit into your generalizations means that there has to be a LOT more people like the people I know. The chances of me knowing the majority of a minority is pretty unlikely.

You really need to educate yourself about the election. Your opinion would mean a lot more if you did so. Nothing you say suggests that you’re doing anything besides regurgitating the opinions of your friends which are based on stereotypes not INFORMATION.

I’m not saying that there aren’t a bunch of ignorant fucks out there voting for the wrong reasons. I saw a “post secret” post card today that said that if the girl’s conservative bf said he loved her before the elections that she’d vote for McCain. There are tons of bullshit, arbitrary reasons behind people’s decisions to vote, on both sides of the board. I simply don’t think that spewing commentary that further supports that behavior is helpful and your hateful, ignorant sounding words are the perfect thing to motivate people to shut their ears.

We need to make sure no one works to fire state troopers when they drink in their patrol cars, poach animals, shoot their own children(in law) with tasers, threaten to kill their fathers-in-law, and beat their wives.

Yep, can’t be having that, now, can we?

Still doesn’t change the fact that you tacitly implied he was unamerican because he didn’t immediately eat up your “i’m a vet what did you do for your country” bullshit.

Of course hard-working, tax-paying Americans should leave the cesspit. People should have every right to leave a failed state. I’m just gonna remind you right now that unless you’re Cherokee or something, your ancestors came from a failed state to find better opportunities. Now that America is a shithole, the smart ones will go where the opportunities are, and paying for unemployable rednecks – even for four years a piece – is not a fucking opportunity.

To receive any sort of pay from Uncle Sam after you leave the Army, the following conditions must be met:

AT LEAST 20 years of service. Keep in mind that in today’s military, 4 years of service alone on active duty status practically guarantees 2 deployments to a combat zone.
OR
Suffering an injury while in the military which is sufficient enough to serve as a ground upon which to end your contract. I.e., losing of a leg, arm, etc.

So, in other words, the only way for somebody to really leach off Uncle Sam is to do one tour, get hurt, and then get out. You don’t get anything for 4 years, like you’re referring to, besides college money.

Again, I’ll ask you to point me to where I said I was expecting “special” treatment because I’m a veteran. I don’t wear my job like some badge of entitlement.

Here comes another random ass retort. Tell you what, I’ll just leave this thread. I know you’ll follow me, you living punchline, you.

And the military-industrial complex’s current candidate? Some guy who’s NEVER held a job and has lived his entire life on taxpayer money in spite of the fact that his rich wife pays the way. How my ai’s tax dollars are going to prop up a man with 6 houses?

Who would want to live and CONTINUE PAYING TAXES in a country where every unemployable redneck can expect to be treated like a king and fountain of expected truth because he’s done his four years?

I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to pay for your sorry ass, leach.

Please, direct me to any time I’ve ever said I’m better than the average, American taxpayer. Good luck finding that post, because it doesn’t exist. My statement was specifically made in regards to awfulintention’s shitty attitude about “leaving the country because she didn’t get her way.” It had nothing to do with me being in the military. I’m referring people who are unwilling to work for a better world. People whose only solution to a given problem is to bitch incessantly.

Blah blah blah, Caio’s all upset because he got his ass handed to him before in the forums and everybody knows it, blah blah blah, stupid flame war, etc.

Caio, I love you.

Everyone knows that the second America pulls out of Iraq, Syria or Iran will march in, and if they don’t the country will break out in sectarian chaos and end up like Somalia in the 90s. That government wont last a minute without American military.

So the other option is to stick around and back an unpopular government while Iraq stays a shithole. 100 more years right? What would you call that? A Bantustan? A protectorate?

If you people had cleaned things up by 2005 maybe people might have been willing to accept a new order but that bridge is burnt.

But talking about you specifically: Yeah you did your tour, did fuck all. Now you’re gonna get a job as a security job maybe? All the while cashing your soldier’s pension.

You’ll be nothing but a drain on the state, no different than some junky on welfare. Except with an inflated sense of self-importance because you think you’ve done more for your country than the TAXPAYER who keeps you sheltered and fed.

You are a fucking leach. They should throw useless people like yourself in the poorhouse where you can die quickly, humanely and in comfort.
