The draft ended in, what, ‘73? I’d hazard a guess that the vast majority of troops had a choice. Now, if your argument is that these troops were misled as to the nature of the job by a taxpayer-funded propaganda campaign, I absolutely agree!

The GOOD stories, where the people who volunteered to go murder other people aren’t so damned traumatized by it!

We can do two things.

I hear that flag is now filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Orange Julius.

I mean, standing is the least you can do. If you really wanted to respect the troops you’d softly caress a flag, then pull it closer and tell it all the things you’d like to do to it, noting that your daughter is the only thing you’d like to touch more. Tell it that you’d spangle its stars until its banner couldn’t…

And fund the VA. 

And also the pride you feel when you see 60,000 fans at a sporting event raise their cup to you and your service brought to you by Budweiser. 

I’m probably the problem since I make it a point to get a beer on the concourse when the national anthem is played so I don’t have to deal with that pretending to stand out of respect for the troops crap. 

He’s a junkie, too.

Something tells me they are not, in fact, playing nth-dimensional chess and that the thoughtless tweet had nothing to do with Russia secretly having control over what the US Army tweets and everything to do with a broad assumption by the civilians in charge of such things who haven’t actually faced war themselves that…

Uncle Sam is a pimp. The facts:

Seems like the best way to support our troops is to vote against these imperialist warmongers.

But so many people are standing during the National Anthem now. You mean to tell me the troops need more support? I was told if we got rid of kneeling athletes all of our troop related problems would go away.

if you now, like me, cant stop thinking about rats, check out robert sullivan’s book. it’s really good

I mean other than an incredibly precise laser, or an actual assassin on the ground, this seems pretty damn effective. If someone isn’t completely against any form of conflict I’m confused how they could be against this.

FUCK THAT GUY AND HIS ILK FOR RUINING THE PUNCHING GAME FOR ALL OF US

All evidence points to GM not actually being interested in making any sales in the USA.
