"Serve" is not generally used in that sense by military people and you know it.

The term service as it is used by military people has tones of duty and honor when they use it. That is fucking bullshit. That duty is self-imposed, and does not exist outside of a monetary contract between you and the federal government. That honor is something you convince yourself of (or allow your recruiter/drill instructor to convince you of) in spite of the obviousness of the truth.

You're trying to use the service-industry style of the term to deflect that, even though you know damn well that particular rhetoric is thick.

ur just being gay by doing the dictionary thing, im sure many words have multiple meanings by definition

you are applying inaccurate stereotypes though to be fair, im sure I know dozens more military members then you and i can think of only 1 or 2 that would try to go to like a bar or something and be all gay and proud with the whole "I SERVED" thing and wear an army knock off affliction t shirt with his dog tags sticking out

even we think those guys are fags

And then have the gall to whine about it when you get your come-uppins and get your leg or balls blown off.

That paycheck was worth it right?

But don't worry, the socialist VA will take care of you on my dime.

what has this got to do with anything, if people cant afford to take care of themselves that is their own fault. and yes government jobs like many private sector jobs do offer you health benefits (most you have to optionally buy into like any insurance plan)

if ur talking about people whos legs get blown off, yes they receive disability just like you would if you were born without a leg

and i guess it would "be on your dime" (soldiers pay taxes to btw)

I'm pointing out that wounded vets are whiney cunts that should have thought about that shit before they signed a contract to possibly kill people. Why the fuck do I have to pay for their bad career choice?

if a nurse pulls her back moving a patient, loses her job and goes on disability you are paying for their bad career choice

yet again, a problem with the average us citizen

seems like you have a habit of attributing common human issues to the military when they can be applied in almost any organization

and yes i agree people that are "homeless vets" and cry for aid (outside of getting disability for actual physical limitations) are faggots, its no one else's job to take care of you are the military enforces that mentality more than any civilian I know
