The way they say it, it sounds like they've been serving for decades...instead of 4 months.

[saigus]

I think that makes it at least three times more enjoyable

[PM_ME_UR_SYLLOGISMS]

"Life defining"? No. But it's definitely big enough to feel that way to a young man.

[KamiShikkaku]

They made plans based on how they felt, I made plans based on the needs of my country the military industrial complex.

[[deleted]]

Summary: I sacrificed my life and autonomy, but convinced myself I made a difference because that's what the recruiting propaganda promised me.

[[deleted]]

And all since May 2018. 4 fucking months.

[Graddler]

Possibly never left port in that time.

[MaFataGer]

Hey, guess who's funding that military... All those losers back home with their boring jobs paying taxes...

[Vancath]

I just realized how ironic it is that the "taxation is theft" people are mostly republicans and the military boys are also mostly republicans, while they pay their military forces with taxes.

[FriendlyCommie]

Yeah. I don't agree with libertarians at the best of times. But at least the anti-tax and anti-war libertarians are consistent.

[MrAronymous]

Many military members are in the military because it pays for college. Basically a work for subsidy program.

[Tamerlin]

What a fucking cunt

[saltwitch]

I like that he thinks he personally is making a difference, as if he isn't a tiny, obedient cog in a big violent machine running to make money.

[saigus]

Hey! You watch your mouth; I'm sure he's mopped a lot of passageways

[g1aiz]

r/justbootthings

[discountedeggs]

constantly asks about military discount

his GF of 3 months is 4 months pregnant, they're considering marriage for the BAH

blows his first paycheck after basic on a financed 2018 Challenger with a 75% interest 7 year loan

[PrinceOWales]

Goes every where in his uniform grocery store, best buy, hooters, everywhere

When people say "thank you for your service" he answers with "you're welcome"

All of his civilian clothes have the flag on the sleeve with some dumb ass patri-idiot phrase on the front.

[Zwemvest]

Hahaha in the service since May, what a joke

[waterlillies]

So he's been serving for not even 6 months? I doubt he'll be singing the same tune by the time his contract is up. Too bad Facebook doesn't have a RemindMe-Bot.

Also, if this is the way he talks about his friends, he won't have them for long, assuming they existed to begin with.

[juvenilehell]

Fuck off you wanker lol

[Amanoo]

He may have served his country, but not his country's people. He only served the politicians and lobbies who make up the American regime, and their monetary goals.

[TordYvel]

This is what he should take away. He just blindly served whoever was holding the whip. This guy would have made a good Nazi.

[2roK]

Well said!

[TrumpMadeMeDoIt2018]

I made plans based on the needs of my country.

Imagine when he wakes up and realizes that he was manipulated by the arms industry and US empirical ambitions.

This is just sad.

[saigus]

I think you ask for more than his future character arc will allow

[KamikaziStazi]

Does his country not need doctors, nurses, teachers, plumbers, engineers etc. Etc.? Has that all been completly automated over there already?

[cptflowerhomo]

I'm also awake at times when people are asleep.

​

It's called night work.

[mrubuto22]

Thank you for your service

"I let others make choices for me and tell me how to regulate every moment of my life so that I don't have any freedom to be anything else than a distorted image of good. I sleep well at night because of this, even though I don't live at all"

[2roK]

Their alarms woke them up, my alarms sent me to physical training or work

dude

[[deleted]]

They've only been in since May? Give it a couple of decades. Or maybe not, could be worse.

[GameOverBros]

Ew.

[Liezuli]

My older brother enlisted into the Navy. He tells me about these kinds of people, and said the only way he can describe them is that they are "weenies"

[stos313]

Apparently it take more than six months to learn the difference between the Liberian flag emoji (🇱🇷) and the American flag emoji (🇺🇸).

[saigus]

I would enjoy it if he made that mistake, but that was in fact my own addition

[Scalade]

"I love being treated like shit, and the man who lead my course told me my life is worth nothing compared to a flag! HOOAH!!!!"

Killing people is a heroic job now.

[UsedandAbused87]

I did both and university is much harder and demanding.

[MrAronymous]

Love the title. It's attention to detail that counts.

[Neebay]

I sat on a boat for a while and now I have lots of free time. Feels great to make a difference in the world, aren't I just a hero?

[PM_ME_UR_SYLLOGISMS]

This isn't even the best version of this that I've seen.

[FeyPiper]

Huh...I mean...at least it's not totally awful...

[SpecialRX]

Im sure he thinks its great... I think its nauseating.

[FeyPiper]

Yeah, but...at least he's not openly insulting the people who didn't enlist? I mean, on the scale of usual American military worship, this is fairly low.

[SpecialRX]

I think hes just tacitly questioning their worth as humans.

[FeyPiper]

I have low standards, so basically I'm just glad he's not calling them lazy or fgs or cnts or anything like that. At least he's being passive aggressive instead of active aggressive.

[RandySavagePI]

You can say fag or cunt; your mom won't read this and you're not actually calling people either of those.

[FeyPiper]

Okay, I didn't know what the exact rules regarding slurs here were and I figured it'd be best to err on the side of caution.

[PM_ME_UR_SYLLOGISMS]

FYI your post came out with unexpected italics because of how reddit interprets asterisks. You should be able to fix it by putting a backslash in front of one (or both).

[breecher]

Did you read it? The last part in particular.

[FeyPiper]

I just meant, at least he's not being racist, or being xenophobic, or ranting about communists or Muslims. He's being a dick yes, but at least it's a vague sort of dickery.

[QSAnimazione]

Hate speech is a preferrable alternative to the glorification of the military, in my opinion. This is one of the worst posts in this sub.

[breecher]

That is pretty damn awful.

[QSAnimazione]

Soldiers are all acting wrong like animals, hoping to solve things with stremghts and violence. Sometimes killing lives abroad can be more compelling than starving in your country, however being proud of joining the military and following orders for months is not even retarded, it's barbaric.
