I wish I do not wake up every morning and the first thing on my mind is I sure am thankful for all the individuals laying down their lives for the freedom I get to enjoy this day didnt equate to un-American.

You also don't wake up every morning thinking in German, guess who gave you that privilege.

Maybe they should have more attractive qualities to employers.

Isn't serving played up as a way to build strong skills you can take into the civilian market for a quality white-collar career?

You do get good skills and they can help with a resume. But a lot of them haven't really had any real world expierence. And being in the military is like being a kid all over again. They treat the members like children. It's hard for a lot of them once they get out. And you can still get a degree and all that. For free, too, depending on branch and status...

And I wish being a Bible-believing Christian didn't equate to being "homophobic", but if we got everything we wished for, my wife would be a 10.

Troops don't fight for our freedom. If anything, we have lost several freedoms since the war on terror began. So they either suck at their jobs, or they were never fighting for our freedom in the first place.

Soldiers and the military in general are also just as much a drain on tax revenue as welfare recipients, so one could also argue that they should thank me for paying their salaries, instead of me thanking them for their 'service'.

To be fair, a lot of the loss of freedoms is occurring because we vote for it.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier was right.

One of the reasons the military has to use more money is because of the cost of everything. When the military is buying it, the cost of things is usually 2x-5x mores than normal. Just because it's the military...

That and the fact they change the uniforms all the time for no goddamn reason.

If you write your resum correctly it is. Veterans have lots of resources to find work. I literally got hired because of a resume that I had done through one of those resources and rephrasing my military experience into shit that was applicable.

Babysitting grown men to make sure they go to their dental/medical appointments = experience micromanaging personnel to ensure operations readiness

Yeah. Though that's not as bad. They give like 2 uniforms. The rest you buy. Either with clothing allowance(only once a year). Or your own money if you want even more... Haha...

As for the resums, the classes they had were pretty good...

I'm talking about the army switching literal patterns. I was only in for 5 years and saw three different patterns, which makes three new sets of uniforms/rucksacks/camelbaks/everything else that has patterns utilized. I used my clothing allowance for booze.

I didnt even use the resume classes they had. I had a nonprofit that does resume/interview help for veterans.

Wouldn't the best way to support the troops be to fix the military's internal budget mismanagment?

Ah. I see. I'm Air Force. I was in for 8, but the only uniform change for us was when they made Summer and Winter weight versions for us. I did sometimes use my money for other things, too...

This

Everything the military buys costs ten times the normal price because congressmen have buddies who supply products to GSA.

Money gets wasted on gear and vehicles that never gets used.

If you want to help vets you should vote out all the fossils who are beholden to these corporations, you'd be helping yourself as well.
