Was getting gas this morning, and it was a Vietnam vet pumping gas. All of a sudden this random middle aged cac approached him and is like "Thank you for your service, sir". OG gave him this look like :comeon:. What is with CAC's and this love affair with anything in uniform? There hasn't been a serviceman or woman in my life time that has fought in a war that has had any impact on my freedom or rights. If anything the erosion of civil rights/liberties is coming from within. I remember seeing some breh's in uniform visibly uncomfortable with random people coming up to them shaking their hands.

Whether it police, fire, or military Cac's are always ready to lick the boot. No disrespect to any Coli service breh's, but I don't get this shyt.

interesting question tho…I was watching “catch me if you can” the other day for the first time and was a bit surprised how much pilots in uniform were revered in public back then

I could honestly understand if it was a selfless endeavor. But if we’re being honest here most people aren’t joining the military because they want to. It’s for the benefits that come with it.

Man shut the fukk up with that nonsense. yoU dOn’t vAlUe stRucTure caUSe yOu aRen’T a bOotlIkcER liKe me!’
No.

I was more so thinking, “you don’t value structure because you’re a bum that doesn’t own shyt that comes from a long line of bums that never owned shyt, that’s why your worldview is stunted, and it’s too late to change.”

but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.

Assumptions are for women. I really hope you don't conduct yourself like this around men in your walking life. You can't hurt my feelings because your position is so far off it can't even be taken seriously.

It’s Odee but at the same time you being cynical af. It doesn’t matter why someone served, they still served. Some people have great respect for that sacrifice
It is cynical. I'm not critical of anyone that served, I'm critical of the people who go out of their way to thank people. It just comes off a bit contrived sometimes. Especially the interaction this morning. Older breh had the reaction he did because he knew that man wouldn't have said a word to him without the "Vietnam veteran" hat he was wearing.

Millions have been brainwashed to believe evil lurks and everyone hates America. They are also brainwashed to believe every conflict the US has ever been in, was directly protecting freedom in America. Why do you think the defense budget is so high and nobody questions it?

I'm not gonna lie growing up I drank the koolaide, and it wasn't until I started traveling that I realized that no one really gives a fukk about us outside of pop culture references. They didn't hate us. They didn't hate our freedoms, and we spent vastly more time thinking about them, then they ever did about us.
