I served for 10 years and deployed once, not for lack of trying. The whole "knew what he signed up for" is incorrect in many ways. No one signs up so they can die in combat. To quote Patton, the object of war is not to die for your country, it's to make the other poor bastard die for theirs. I signed up because I wanted to serve my country. Because I felt, and still do, that the values and freedoms listed in the Constitution are worth defending, with a chance that it is to the death. But to claim that it is an expectation that you will die in the service is the claim of someone who doesn't understand the military, and in this particular case, someone who doesn't actually give a fuck about any of the members of the military beyond their utility for conducting war.

I think it is very weird that you are acting like "knew what he signed up for" does not mean that he joined the military to protect his country and that could entail dying for his country.

So much spin in these topics its hilarious. He never said you signed up to die. Lmfao.

Why you all can't just attack him on actual merits instead of trying to spin every last thing said to what it wasn't so that it sounds worse is funny to me.

And Republicans will never hate the military.
