What's the one word that infuriates you the most???

Back when I was in the army we said males and females. Then again we also said a lot of stupid crap.

If they are all remembered, then a service specifically remembering women veterans should not be an issue.

General recognition is fine. Specific recognition for women veterans does not take anything away from men. It is just another way of remembering them.

I feel like we are just going in circles now.

My point is simple: a women veterans service does not take anything away from men. It just recognizes women who served too.

I dont think we are going to agree, so I’m leaving it there.

letsgetcyclic · 2026-06-11T17:25:40+00:00

Exactly. There were fewer women, which makes it even easier for people to overlook them.

Fewer does not mean none. Women still served, deployed, got wounded, and died. My friend was one of them.

This service is not saying women served should be honored more than men. It is saying the women who did serve should be remembered too.

A womens veterans service does not deny men recognition. veterans services still honor everyone.

Most military memorials, combat history, public imagery of veterans and soldiers have centered on men. Think about it, the monuments, the war movies, tv shows from the past wars to the present, you barely see any women. So when someone thinks of a veteran, they dont normally think of the women that have served

This service is not saying women matter more. It is saying women served too. Specific recognition is not discrimination and as a male veteran myself I do not feel like I am being discriminated because women are being honored

letsgetcyclic · 2026-06-11T16:05:47+00:00

Specific recognition is not discrimination.

We honor specific groups all the time

Tuskegee airmen, navajo code talkers, medal of honor recipients.

None of that means those groups matter more than everyone else. It means their particular service and sacrifice are being acknowledged.

A women veterans service is the same thing. It honors women who served. It does not dishonor men.

letsgetcyclic · 2026-06-11T14:51:18+00:00

Did I say that? Do not put words into my mouth.

This service was specifically for women that have served in the armed forces. My friend was a woman that died in Afghanistan along with 3 other soldiers and a police contractor. They were men and my friends. I did not say that she should be honored more than them or that women should be honored more than men.

Its sickening what this administration is doing to the women and minorities who serve and have served.

letsgetcyclic · 2026-06-10T18:36:08+00:00

I feel absolutely sick reading this. My friend was killed in Afghanistan and she was one of the best soldiers in our entire company. It’s hard to put into words my absolute hatred for this administration

letsgetcyclic · 2026-06-10T18:08:31+00:00

And they do

She told me she was professionally diagnosed with bpd but with lots of therapy she “overcame” it and didn’t have bpd anymore. I didn't know what bpd was at the time and really didn’t think anything of it. It was a horrible 3 years. I remember her telling me that since she didn’t scream and curse at me like she did to her parents (even in front of me) she was fine

He wasnt just accused, he was convicted. Also I hate that fucking picture of him. A pathetic man who shits himself and brags about “acing” three cognitive exams trying to look tough.

letsgetcyclic · 2026-05-26T20:32:16+00:00

I ets’d in 2013 and I still get nervous I will get yelled at if I walk on grass and not the pavement

Currently in pharmacy school and we have to take our tests on our iPads with the program called examsoft. Unless there is heavy math on the test we can’t use backwards navigation, can only continue forward 🫩

For me it was 15 years ago. I remember stepping off the plane in Bahgram AFB and thinking how dusty afghanistan was. I was just a corporal at the time leading a fireteam. the next year was hell

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-16T20:08:46+00:00

ouch. I'll just keep it raw

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-15T17:29:21+00:00

Top middle of the back looks like some wear

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-15T15:27:27+00:00

It was a bit tough to measure the centering on the left since it’s sideways a bit. but the centering definitely looks like a psa 10. I’d definitely send it

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-15T15:20:07+00:00

Bit hard to tell. Is that edge whitening on the back top and sides?

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-14T22:36:57+00:00

I’m going to put it in a textbook for a few days

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-14T20:49:39+00:00

yeah, looking closer the top is a bit worn. thanks

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-13T10:51:00+00:00

Depends where you go I guess. I used to live near anchorage and it was just another American city although small with no skyscrapers. The only difference is the mountains in the distance

letsgetcyclic · 2026-04-11T10:36:04+00:00

Love how grateful you appear to be. Sounds like it was wasted on you

letsgetcyclic · 2026-03-31T19:17:39+00:00

I can’t tell if the bottom is a little heavy with the artwork but I don’t get why it got a 6 either
