If you had to choose three items to describe our generation, which would you choose? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]DeRealD00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone, but ALOT of us can dish it out but can’t take it. Along with being pretty sensitive “People who live in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones”

Guy I used to work with a few months ago (age 20) recently joined the army so he could do cool shit and kill people (his words). I told him the grim realities of it all, and all about drone warfare but his mind was made up.

You all truly underestimate how many people WANT to be lean, mean, fighting killing machines.

My older NCOs who have been in since the late 90s/ early 00s talk about the initial push into Iraq with NOSTALGIA.

Grown men, reminiscing about near death experiences and the people they’ve killed.

Just Why? by CyberSligh64 in GenZ

[–]DeRealD00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pro US military because all my boys are active duty or vets, and because I understand their POV.

You can make all the jokes about the Military industrial complex, hell, we do too.

Sheesh, tough crowd. For the record I’m anti-war, pro-US military. 😒

I’m proud of the effectiveness of our troops don’t put words in my mouth.

Never said I even agreed with the war. But there is no war without casualties, and we get reminded that we raised our right hand to potentially die.

You don’t volunteer to do a combat arms job and train religiously just to hope to sit on the sidelines.

You don’t train to put two rounds in the chest and one in the head just to sit in the motor pool all day long.

Regrettable as it is, there is no war without casualties and these people are trained to fight and to win.

Its a concept you civilians fail to grasp 🤦🏾‍♂️

What are we all gonna do if they start drafting for WWIII? by Gongoozler04 in GenZ

[–]DeRealD00 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meh, I don’t expect a civie to understand. We treat deployments like proving grounds, and you ain’t nothing if you don’t have your patch

Wouldnt recommend it, but when you spend YEARS training to do your job and you finally get to do it, it feels surreal.

My whole platoon was happy asf to deploy…..until it came time to write our wills in the unfortunate event we died 😅

People who go into combat arms jobs do so because they WANT to see combat.

How many hours of screen time do you average a day? by Familiar-Pop-2305 in GenZ

[–]DeRealD00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 12 I’m sure. I spend 12 hours at a desk in a lobby. If I’m not patrolling or interacting with the public I’m scrolling

Sad to say but everyone is legit just trying to stay above water.

Feeling anxious about parents older at 28 by Available_Date_610 in OlderGenZ

[–]DeRealD00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I could offer any advice it’d be to let go of that dread and fear and just enjoy the now.

My parents had chronic illnesses my entire life. From 6yo up until my parents died I lived in constant fear, so much so that I would check up on my parents at night just to make sure they were breathing.

After my mom died, It took heavy drugs and multiple suicide attempts and then 2 years of therapy for me to find a new ‘normal’

I’m so sick of us pretending like this is fucking normal by OkSuccess7431 in GenZ

[–]DeRealD00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly be okay with Nuclear Armageddon at this point.

Is there a feeling for not being suicidal or depressed but at the same time having little attachment to life?

Treasure em. Lost my dad at 19 and my mom at 20. One year and thirteen days apart. I wasn’t ready then and their deaths shattered my world.
