Why do you believe being in the armed services is a great contribution to our society? What about your service improved our country?

I don't think our military has been used for anything decent, productive, positive, etc. since ww2. Vietnam and spreading capitalism/stopping communism wasn't a good use. We just went over and fucked up some villagers for mystery reasons. We ambled around South/central America and the Middle East doing nation building or whatever for corporate interests, ending up with some pissed off people that attacked us....and we then went in again to nation build.

Somalia was good, but I honestly don't see our armed forces as a positive. I think it's an arm of corporate interests that don't have the nation's interests at heart.

Oh so he did the very same thing that all Americans do on both sides of the aisle. Is that supposed to make him some sort of patriot? And just to let you know I got out of the service and worked as an electrician until the injuries I suffered defending this great republic forced me to retire. But do I live off the government? No sir my wife is still working as a nurse and I support myself by living smartly and saving my money. I see you have turned into one of those people like fogdog. Have no legitimate points to offer so must resort to the same tactics.

You keep espousing your military like we owe you
I got out in the 70’s
No one ran around thank anyone for their service but you seem to think your entitled to that
You aren’t, and all vets are not patriots
Get over the entitlement

Im going to ignore you, by not using the feature provided, but then use the next 5 posts to whine about how you are treating me bad and then spread more 'RIU' is being disrespectful post?

And yes you did ghost my thought out reply to you. In your response to Fogdog pointing it out, you basically said that it is cool for companies to false advertise? Do you actually believe this?


So you think that it is a good idea for the military to allow their soldiers to not get vaccinated and get sick as shit from all the nasty preventable diseases they come in contact with as they travel across the planet?

Also they still have a choice to not get it like you said. Again nobody is forcing anyone to get a vaccine.

You said that you were in the military, did you also refuse the vaccines back then?

But still do you at least understand that there is not a 'vaccine mandate' and that it is a choice for businesses to make if they want their employees to be vaccinated or test if they have over a hundred employees? Do you not understand that a business may not want to take chances on the employees that they rely on getting sick with a mostly preventable disease and have higher call off rates and costing them more in insurance?

Feel free to name some of these 'left wing extremists'. Because when you scratch the surface you will see that it is just more propaganda. That is the genius of the attack that the right wing is doing right now on our society. They catfish from the 'left' and attack you into thinking it is 'both sides', and it is not.

I don't buy into the snow flaking about others posts. This is the internet, if you are on it, you are getting trolled. The trick is to figure out what it is that you are so worked up about and how you got to that point.

As I am sure you can tell I am not worked up. I am simply stating my opinion and answering questions that are posed to me. As far as the trolling part goes you are correct. There are trolls everywhere including here. I am only looking for an honest and respectful discussion about politics. I do not expect to agree with everyone nor do I expect everyone to agree with me. That is why we have discussions and discuss things.

No one owes me anything. I did what I did for my own personal reasons expecting nothing in return. And I agree not all vets are patriots some of them have totally went off track. But I thank you for your service. I know the sacrifices you and your loved ones made. And where did you get that I felt entitled to anything? Just another dart to throw that obviously missed the mark again. But it is nice of you to take up for your buddy fogdog. He obviously needed your help

Maybe not 'worked up' but possible over stimulated. I will wait for you to actually response to some of the questions in my posts when you are able to focus on them without feeling the need to snowflake about others who are not me and have nothing to do with my attempt at a conversation with you.

Because as of now, the only real thing I think you have said makes it seem like you are ok with someone being able to lie to sell their agenda/product, and I really don't know if you meant that or not.

tRUmptards are big on stolen valor so I doubt he was in the military, he probably LARPs in military gear.

Nope wrong again. I was in the US Army. But I can tell by your response that you were not. Not a bad thing just making a point. But you still have not asked any questions or made any valid responses. You have only made accusations and made up shit to say to try and discredit me. That is what people do that have low morals and intelligence. But please do not let me stand in your way of showing how (smart) you are.

Ask me any question you want and I will give you my honest answer. And as far as people telling lies to push their product or agenda I believe that takes place on both sides of the political spectrum and in all business practices. Not saying it is right but it does happen.

Feel free to show me one of these 'both sides' lies that the Democrats have spread using their office, and then had propagated through a Democratic donor's media empire and then sold to people online using a network of trolls (foreign and domestic) and their 'news-esque' websites that spam the same stories on all their platforms to make it look legit.

I will wait.

Glad to hear it herbs. To make it clear I am not against the vaccine. I am only against being told I must get it. The crazy thing I was planning on getting vaccine until it was mandated.

You showed them, quitting your job and not to get vaccinated.

Smart.
