I'm still convinced that this guy is a poser, I don't believe he served in Vietnam, but in the unlikely event he did, then he was one of those REMF that never saw one day of actual combat.

Nah, IF he served, he was a "10-percenter."

49. I Am Appalled By The Mean Spiritedness That Infests The Nation Now.

Mean spiritedness toward poor people, sick people, minorities, gays, or anyone who supposedly gets government help is just plain unAmerican. Veterans actually are 2nd class citizens when it comes to treatment and benefits. A job a Walmart or Krispy Kreme at minimum or low wage is an insult to veterans and even working Americans. Vets make good cannon fodder and economic fodder when they return. And the damaged ones get pretty much thrown aside.

And there is no mention of our KIA's in Afghanistan anymore. I don't care that one asshole called me an embarrassment. They have their head up their ass as far as I am concerned. I wonder if they ever served. If they did then they really do not get it.

The point is that we allow the GOP to attack these people and actually cut vets benefits while they blame Dems or corner them to do it. Then people vote for these DIRTY ROTTEN BIGOTED HATEFUL BASTARDS. I have no use for the GOP at any level. What makes it worse is that Dems seem to have no spine too often.

So what are vets serving for? They are serving so that Koch's and their billionaire allies can rape just about everyone and everything on the planet. Somehow risking coming home for the rich Koch scum is outrageous. America should be about economic and social justice and not about economic pillage of workers.

As I said he needs to repay the Taxpayers for all the money spent on his tired ass if he didn't like getting paid for whatever so called job he did while serving. If he isn't using that training to his benefit then he is dumber then a fence post.

Their constant focus on the Koch brothers reminds me of a mental patient in an asylum that keeps seeing talking dogs. It has to be a mental illness. Come to think of it, with all the admissions of having psychiatrists, mental issues, drug use, etc., I'd say about 75% of the DUmp wouldn't be allowed a vote in the 1800's as they'd all be forcibly committed to asylums.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

What a retard.
I was a friggin supply clerk, about as far from dashing, Spec Ops guy you can get. Never once, have I questioned the value of my service or if it was worth it. You know why? Because I'm not ****ing stupid

You should join DU -- you could be a Black Ops operative, a Green Beret, Seal Team 6, Special Forces -- anything you want! You could create bouncies by the mile!

(or maybe you have?  We know over 50% of the DUmp and at least 2 moderators are us LOL!!)

37. I enlisted in the Navy so I would not be drafted to be canon fodder in Viet Nam.

I was stationed on a troop transport (USS George Clymer APA-27) that hauled marines to Viet Nam. I can still see the faces of some of the marines on board. Some knew they were not coming back. You could tell by looking at them, Kids, my age at the time. We were barely out of the harbor after unloading them in Viet Nam, when we received word some of them were dead already. Less than an hour off the ship - dead. 18/19 year olds. Kids, just out of high school. No chance to live their lives.
No one can tell me Viet Nam was worth it.We finally left and peace broke out there.[\b]

70. I don't think the people that were slaughtered over there after we left would say that

"Peace broke out". We shouldn't have been there in the first place but that place became a cluster**** of the first order after we left. It was only a cluster**** of the second order before we left.[\quote]

This isn't the first time, and probably won't be the last time that I've wondered about Bob and his service record - he LOVES to rant on and on about it, yet when MrDorkio makes a check-in thread on Veterans' Day:

As A Vet I Question The Value Of My Service And If It Was Worth It
It can be answered in three simple words.
"So do we."
There was no value to "your service", therefore it has no worth.
You were a turd in a punch bowl. Go kill yourself.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
