I'm no longer able to see these men as defenders of the United States of America.

They're pussies who signed up for lifelong benefits. Maybe 1 out of A thousand is an actual hero. Stop worshiping the military that one day will come exterminate your entire blood line

Unfortunately accurate. My cousin (love him to death - he's probably on here) and his whole unit have lifetime full disability pay. 40k a year. Kids all get free college. All because a few guys figured out how to scam the benefits by claiming ptsd. Most smart guys go into the military as officers, but I see infantry the same way I see youth pastors. Guys who couldn't do much else in life so they went easy route that doesn't vet applicants thoroughly.
