Boasts about gaming accomplishments to lend authority to opinion in that other thread? Check.
Continuously details military service during elf forum argument? Check.
Videos domicile complete with wall flare modeled after Jesse's pad in Breaking Bad? Check.
That can only end in fiery lulz

All of the kids I played this game with 20+ years ago are making six figures from the comfort of their office or home. Meanwhile I'm still doing manual labor like a dumbass with very limited career choices if I don't feel like being a police officer or prison guard. Being able to say "well, I was in the ARMY" isn't as cool as saying "I went to college and got a degree, and now I have a decent job and career."

Why not use your GI bill to go to school for something if you don't like manual labor? And there are plenty of things where military service, regardless of what you did
in the military, will give you a leg up- most federal and state jobs for example. Also very few of the kids you played with are making six figures unless you happened to play with a particularly high achieving bunch.
