I give you all you are due....The same thing the Home Depot/Lowes cashier says to me whilst I get my 10% discount for being a vet...."Thank you for your service"

I hope it swells your breast....I know it doesn't mine
You mad bro? Salty enough to come to some other person’s defense for a categorically ridiculous statement made to a bunch of veterans? How much did vax pay you? Or is that your alt account?

Agree in principle but there’s a little more to it. Like the burden of gold star families? Of a giving nation faithfully pouring massive aid into the arms of those millions lining up to receive what for some is surviving into next week? The contractors, civil servants, shift workers feeding the ravenous intake of the procurement pipeline? Whatever happens, heroes are where you find them.

Can you not see how ridiculous it is to hear something like this from some civilian that never had the courage to serve?

come on man, be better
fact checked…. Less than 69 posts…. Spreading misinformation.

nope, due to Covid censorship ( which I’m opposed to) the “vax” part created a dilemma for mods. … fact checked… you are spreading misinformation

Theres a reason I don’t go to bars with other pilots with your mentality. When sh!t hits the fan you’ll cower like a bunch of weaklings.
Press a position is what previous administrations did. And one got a deal
with Iran that allowed restrictions and monitoring. Outright assassinations govt officials and bombing the country is not “press position.” That is war.


Ironic, your second part. SHTF in this country in March 2020 and some of you couldn’t be bothered with a vaccine or a mask. So please don’t start on cower like a bunch of weaklings.
