[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a combat Veteran and I’m totally fine with that.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

How do you make money?  You sound miserable.[/quote]

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  :P 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.

Awwww, you haz a sadz  :cry:

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. [/quote]

“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.[/quote]

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

I don’t beg for praise about any of my life choices so I am not asking for any laudation. I work with children all day and hopefully am raising the next generation to be kind and empathetic and decent people. I also vote, pay taxes and am engaged in civic life. I contribute to my community through volunteering. And I don’t ever bring any of that up (especially to random strangers) in a bid to lord over others or taunt people. I am a flawed human being just like everyone else. [/quote]
