SkynyrdRocker 10/15/18 12:55:21 AM #1:	No one has ever given me a good reason for treating modern veterans like heroes. Let's see if you can. I'll mention that Vietnam veterans were the last veterans to deserve respect because they were the last ones who did not have a choice in fighting an unnecessary war. <cite>SkynyrdRocker posted [p:910547479] in I get sick...

Chewster 10/15/18 2:27:01 AM #5:	I've been thinking this too lately. I mean is every first-world country like this about their armed forces or just the US? I think we go way too crazy with it. Tons of people who serve in the military are awful people. Plenty are also not, but it's treated like a sacred cow that you can't criticize. I think it's at least gotten better in some regard. I remember in the early days of the Iraq War you couldn't get away from "Support the Troops" ribbons and if you didn't support the war everyone thought you hated the troops. Now people have a greater understanding of separating respect for the troops and opposition to the conflicts they're involved in. Though I'm not really sure that's so much a sign of progress as it is just years of people both right and left realizing these engagements in the Middle East have been big failures. <cite>Chewster posted [p:910549900] in I get sick...

You do realize a lot of them were talked into willingly joining up under the impression that if they enlisted they wouldn't go to Vietnam. Of course it didn't work out that way. The line of dialogue was something to the effect of: "If you enlist now we wont send you to Vietnam. But if you get drafted we will. Either way we will get you." This is of course anecdotal evidence on my part but nearly every Vietnam vet I've known has said something to this effect. --- https://imgur.com/w3fcH <cite>Miroku_of_Nite1 posted [p:910550053] in I get sick...

But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless we wore our name tags and you knew the different levels of nursing education with their abbreviations.

Mostly just the US and tinpot dictatorships. You guys have some weird, semi-cultish habits around "patriotism". Like you guys have your flag fucking everywhere, which just looks bizarre. In most countries, you'll find the flag outside government buildings, possibly in sports arenas, and that's about it. Same thing with the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance - you guys do that way more often than everyone else. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
