    …are you making fun of soldiers instead of the administration that deployed them? I feel sorry for your family.

      To give you a perspective from outside the USA: Trump was elected the first time in 2016. Ten years ago. So if you’re a young person currently enlisted in the army, you did enlist voluntarily under Trump1. Or under Biden where you could see for years that that could mean serving under another MAGA presidency. Or maybe you did enlist under Trump2. So yeah, why shouldn’t everybody make fun of those fools who are voluntarily risking their lives for that?

          Did… did you think it’s just the two of you on here and you’re talking in private?

            Did you think I was talking to you? OP’s name is directly under the post title. Scroll up and you can see for yourself. Good luck out there buddy.

              I did see that, and that doesn’t preclude me talking to you, just as I’m sure OP didn’t personally invite you to a closed conversation. This is how a social setting works, and if you get all butthurt to the degree that you get snarky and defensive when other people than you intended have opinions about your opinions then you are overly sensitive, and I thought you deserved to have that pointed out for you. Thanks for the well-wishing, sir.

              do you think the “/s” is necessary? “the Internet … it’s a series of tubes” isn’t something people will take literally. No offense, but do you struggle with social interaction? Let me know please

      Everyone has a choice to participate, even if the choices are really fucking shit.

      Sometimes doing the right thing requires sacrifice of your self. A good person will do that. They show integrity through actions.

      Or in other words you don’t get to claim you risked your life for America if you won’t even risk your bank amount for it.
