Board 8 > I totally respect guys in the military, and appreciate everything they do, but..

(+) Yeah! (+)

those pictures that are essentially saying "stop complaining, you're not getting shot at like I am" are annoying. I recognize that your every day tasks are potentially more life threatening than mine, but getting on your high horse about it is unnecessary. We all deserve a forum where we can vent about our stresses, no matter how meaningless they may be at the end of the day. A little perspective is nice, but don't be a self-entitled jerk about it.

If you have friends on Facebook who are in the military, you may have seen some images like what I'm talking about.

I have not actually. I should thank my military friends for not being jerks next time I send them letters.

Guns don't kill people, Kinder eggs do. I saw it in a post on GameFAQs. ~FAHtastic

I have plenty of military friends, and none of them have posted anything of the like. Maybe your friends are inherently just jerks?

Could be that, too. No doubt the amount who are jerks < the amount who aren't, but it still bugs me, especially around finals time.

yeah just let them know that they chose the profession they're in, and they're being heavily compensated for it.

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

Pretty sure military service is voluntary, so yeah...

When service is mandatory, then you can say stuff like that.
