I'm a 20 year Army Vet and Infantryman who served 4 years overseas, twice in combat, as a sworn oath to our Constitution, in wars directed by our politicians, who don't follow the Constitution.......The irony of that makes me want to fuckin' puke.

I struggle everyday from the consequences of those very same wars.....I know I'm not the only Veteran who feels the same way.

Yup...so shitty man. The military industrial complex and those politicians that benefit from it is truly disgusting

I used to work for big defense contractors, before I had kids. I thought it was really cool and I was proud of it. I'm working on my master's so I can go back, but I then I realized I don't WANT to go back to making war machines.

great point, brother. I now work for a Veteran non profit who helps Vets/Spouses with employment. Each time one tells me they want to work in Defense Contracting, I cringe because I know what they are supporting
