"You use the term “serve” as if you did this thing which you signed up to do without a paycheck. This slavish “thank you for serving your country” BS is ridiculous (sic). If the military had accomplished a damn thing in the past 11 years except self aggrandizement I might be impressed"

Aren't you momma's little darling? Clearly, you have absolutely no clue what military service during time of war is all about and you never darkened the door of Bethesda Naval Hospital or Walter Reed when Iraq and Afghanistan were going full bore. You have no appreciation for the guts it took all of those young men and women to give up the best days of their youth to travel to a hellhole and maybe get blown up in the process, all for precious little you so you can hang out at Starbucks in perfect safety.

People like you disgust me - but at least you didn't volunteer, so we didn't have to put up with your whining and incompetence on our flanks.

And you can take that snide, damnable attitude and go post on Dem Underground, you’ll fit right in. I hope you don’t mean Marietta GA!! I’m moving up toward there soon and I wouldn’t want you anywhere near!

Carly boy here has made previous statements that he hates the military [post removed] that we are skinheads and dog killers [post removed] and that we are mercenaries because we get paid [post removed].
He did not defend those statements, and has not explained himself adequately.
As you see by my one post, I challenged him to make a thread about his position on military pay.
Obviously, he should be able to lay out some reasons for it.
So far, crickets.

I hate cowards and cowardice.

Yes, cowards. And definitely scummy democrats polluting a conservative site.

The defeat of communism was at the hands of veterans while those undeserving twits are busy begrudging the cost.

The only time I wanted to see a C5 was if I was hopping somewhere.

Thanks for some history on the poster...at least it’s consistent.

Consistently stupid.

They tied up my ramp every time they came in. Either broke for some nonsense or an 18 hour lay over. They never seem to break in Iraq.
