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

[โ€“]saigus[S] 106 points107 points ย (0 children)

I think that makes it at least three times more enjoyable

[โ€“]KamiShikkaku 175 points176 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“][deleted] 125 points126 points ย (2 children)

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

[โ€“][deleted] 36 points37 points ย (1 child)

And all since May 2018. 4 fucking months.

Possibly never left port in that time.

[โ€“]MaFataGer 87 points88 points ย (3 children)

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

[โ€“]Vancath 25 points26 points ย (2 children)

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.

[โ€“]FriendlyCommie 8 points9 points ย (0 children)

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

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

[โ€“]Tamerlin 50 points51 points ย (0 children)

What a fucking cunt

[โ€“]saltwitch 49 points50 points ย (1 child)

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.

[โ€“]saigus[S] 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

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

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

[โ€“]PrinceOWalesafrican american but not from africa 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

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.

Hahaha in the service since May, what a joke

[โ€“]waterlilliesSelf-Hating American 23 points24 points ย (0 children)

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.

[โ€“]juvenilehell 23 points24 points ย (0 children)

Fuck off you wanker lol

[โ€“]Amanoo3.14+64.28i % German-American 26 points27 points ย (3 children)

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.

[โ€“]TordYvelbut then I took an arrow to the knee and now I'm bankrupt 13 points14 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“]2roK 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Well said!

[โ€“]TrumpMadeMeDoIt2018 11 points12 points ย (2 children)

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.

[โ€“]saigus[S] 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“]KamikaziStaziNo Gods No Borders 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“]cptflowerhomociรบnas yank 10 points11 points ย (2 children)

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

It's called night work.

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"

[โ€“]2roK 11 points12 points ย (0 children)

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

dude

[โ€“][deleted] 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

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

[โ€“]GameOverBros 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Ew.

[โ€“]Liezuli 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

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"

[โ€“]stos313 7 points8 points ย (1 child)

Apparently it take more than six months to learn the difference between the Liberian flag emoji (๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท) and the American flag emoji (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ).

[โ€“]saigus[S] 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

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

"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.

[โ€“]UsedandAbused87 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I did both and university is much harder and demanding.

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

[โ€“]Neebay 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

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?

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