What a moron you are. I am a military vet, disabled. My spouse is retired military and my son is active duty. That’s why I see through all of the BS military/vet posts here. Posted by DC housewives who can’t bear the scent of strong candles and fear eating lunch without sanitizing their hands. What a bunch of big mouth idiots. |

“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. |
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.

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

Nearly all the "billions of taxpayer dollars" the USG "sent" to Ukraine are through our offloading decommissioned (or soon to be) military equipment. The government then uses the appropriation to buy new military for our troops. How do you feel about that? |

Exactly the disrespect I expected from you. More like 35 years, you misogynistic troll. You’re an embarrassment to our military. |

NP I’d be real curious to know what grand contribution you make to the country and what you do for a living. |

There’s nothing radical about it. That’s what you don’t get. I’m historically left leaning but have been driven over to the right by the hatred, lack of empathy and ability to get anything done on the left. You used to care about people, social issues, etc etc but now it’s just day after day of hate. Look at this site as a perfect example. So many I know have gone right (and no, not radically). Pretty sure that’s why they lost the election which should have been obvious to the left. |

It's on brand that the Republican party doesn't respect personal sacrifice for our country, on the part of veterans or those who died in service.
Republican leaders are showing their true colors now with the hate for veterans and civil servants. |

Too many military wives who have never served a single day in their lives think they are experts. Such wives give normal mil wives a bad name. Just because you sleep with a military reserve soldier, doesn’t mean you know anything about the military. You are disgraceful, your husband is embarrassed of you and your loud mouth. |

Veterans are a drain on the economy that should not be celebrated. |

No citation? https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-political-military-affairs/releases/2025/01/u-s-security-cooperation-with-ukraine#:~:text=In%20FY%202022%2C%20DoD%20provided,Congress%20have%20now%20been%20committed. Of course no citation. Dcum: military “wives” and housewives who pretend to know things. Security Assistance To date, Congress has appropriated $4.65 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) across two supplemental packages for Ukraine and “countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine.” Of this total, $4 billion has been notified to Congress. The first Ukraine supplemental also provided $4 billion in FMF loan authority and $4 billion in loan guarantees to NATO Allies. In FY 2023, DoD provided $12.1 billion in security assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) in eight separate tranches. In FY 2023, the Department notified Congress of our intent to make an additional $1.1 billion in long-term investments with FMF to bolster the security of Ukraine and 13 regional partners and allies in Europe who are at risk from potential future Russian aggression. These funds will help our allies and partners in the region to backfill military capabilities they have donated to Ukraine, enable new donations to Ukraine, and support longer-term military requirements in both the broader region and in Ukraine itself. On September 6, 2023, the Secretary announced an additional $100 million in Foreign Military Financing to support Ukraine’s longer-term military requirements. On September 8, 2022, the Department notified Congress of our intent to make a further $2.2 billion available in long-term investments under Foreign Military Financing (FMF) to bolster the security of Ukraine and 17 of its regional neighbors; including both many of our NATO allies as well as other regional security partners who are most potentially at risk for future Russian aggression. These funds will help our allies and partners who have provided security assistance to Ukraine backfill their capabilities. On April 24, 2022, the Department notified Congress of its intention to obligate more than $713 million in Foreign Military Financing funding for Ukraine and 15 other Allied and partner nations in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Assistance in this Notification will help NATO Allies backfill capabilities they have donated to Ukraine from their own stockpiles to retain and strengthen NATO deterrence. In FY 2022, DoD provided $6.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) in seven separate tranches. All the FY2022 USAI funds appropriated by Congress have now been committed. In FY 2021, Ukraine received $275 million under DoD’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). This included $75 million in lethal assistance. In FY 2021, the Department provided Ukraine $115 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and $3 million in International Military Education and Training (IMET) funding. Prior to Russia’s renewed invasion, FMF supported Ukraine’s acquisition of a wide array of capabilities including counter-mortar radars, secure radios, vehicles, electronic equipment, small arms and light weapons, and medical supplies, among others. The Global Security Contingency Fund, a joint program of the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, has provided more than $42 million in training, advisory services, and equipment to assist the Government of Ukraine to further develop the tactical, operational, and institutional capacities of its Special Operations Forces, National Guard, conventional forces, non-commissioned officer corps, and combat medical care since 2014. Excess Defense Articles (EDA) On February 20, 2022, the United States utilized the Excess Defense Articles program to transfer Mi-17 helicopters to Ukraine. Since 2018, the United States has provided Ukraine with four refitted U.S. Coast Guard Island-Class cutters. The refit was funded with Ukrainian national funds and FMF. Additional vessels are pending transfer. |
