There is absolutely zero need to mess with Veterans Day. None. There is no issue. He is creating an issue out of thin air, again. He is drunk with power and just wants to screw with anything and everything he wants. I hope this a-hole croaks soon.

Amen.

Memorial Day is the day that matters to me. The men and women who *didn’t* come home. Their day is what matters. I’m fine with my Purple Heart tags and 10% off at Home Depot. That’s enough recognition for me.

The people who suffered and survived matter to me, not only the people who died.

And you can think about us anytime you want. That’s kind of you.


But you don’t need a paid holiday to do it.

How do you make money? You sound miserable.

How do I make money? Odd question, but I’ll humor you:

You pay me! I medically retired as a E-8 from combat related injuries, specifically hearing loss from gunfire/explosions/helo engines, and my left patella, which is probably still in the rocks somewhere in Pantarkush, courtesy of a taliban DShK. Don’t feel sad for me though. One day I’ll have to get an ocular implant (you’ll buy me that, too!) and my titanium knee cap works just fine and only aches on really cold days. And I killed stacks of guys during my tours before I finally got hit bad enough to get separated. So I have a comfortable-enough pension, with SRD payments on top of it, and I have a double-dip career that I really enjoy. It’s not as exciting as riding on Bradleys or Chinooks and shooting BG’s, but I still like having something to do during the week. Plus I really like working with young people. Gen A is really going to turn this country around - they are sick of your BS.

I figured. Your statement came from someone who is out of the work force or doesn’t need to work/ has an hobby job and that is why I asked.

My husband lost his leg and the patella on his other leg when a tractor on his family farm overturned on him. He doesn’t get the pension you do, but still lost limbs. Farm accidents are very common and many people lose limbs and lives because of the huge equipment involved. Your handicap came during your service, so you have access to a pension and can make fun of people who need to work and would like holidays to thank you for your service and to take a little time to relax. Phantom pain is no joke.

Best of luck to you, even though I think you are being a jerk.

There are always jerks out there. Being a vet doesn't exempt someone from being a jerk.

That’s for sure. The military is every bit as diverse as the country, and has the same problems as any large organization.

“Socialism for me but nothing for you! HaHa!”

Screw you.

Awwww, you haz a sadz

I’ve earned every one of your dollars you’ll be paying me the rest of my life! And all I had to do was kill some guys, and get blown up a few times, and shot. You could’ve been there next to me. No one was stopping you from joining and fighting for your country. But you didn’t. So you get to pay me the rest of my life for the stuff you wouldn’t do yourself. I think that’s a fair trade.

“Fighting for your country” is just the BS brainwashing that the elite and powerful use on young men like you to convince them to get “blown up” instead of having to do it themselves. You are a tool for people who don’t give a crap about your life or safety. If they cared then they wouldn’t have started the pointless wars that would cost you your health and wellbeing. Then they pay you off with money and hero worship. You are too stupid and smug to understand any of that truth so whatevs. BTW you are paying as much tax as I am so you are also paying for yourself. Fool.

How do you feel about the billions of taxpayer dollars our government has sent to Ukraine and the loss of life there?

Ukraine is a noble cause to support. Ukraine was attacked by a foreign authoritarian in an illegal land grab and innocent civilians are being targeted en masse. No US troops have been deployed. Sending money and weapons is the least we could do. The loss of life is directly caused and perpetuated by Putin and even The POTUS in recent memory.

Iraq…not really comparable.

Obama and Crimea agree.

Trump called our military, suckers and losers.

No, he didn’t. And he also didn’t say he was doing away with Veterans Day.

Finally, some facts.
