It is worth noting that in "Full Metal Jacket" the drill sergeant gets shot by a mentally unstable recruit who then turns the gun on himself. Not sure that's exactly the message of a "successful" military training program that Trump thinks it is. And also... we lost the Vietnam War.

Lost the Vietnam War? Looking for consensus, please? Out of there! War's good for nothing. ЁЯжЕЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ▓ЁЯжЕ

We sure didnтАЩt win it.

And some wars are absolutely necessary, like WWII and the Civil War. Others are pointless and absurd, like WWI and Korea and Vietnam.

As with many things, itтАЩs not a black or white issue.

I find the people who valorize that guy tend to be armchair warriors who spend a lot of time thanking me for my service and then supporting the guy who called us 'suckers' and 'losers'

I hate when a magat thanks me for my service. I want to scream at them to shove their thanks where the Sun don't shine and question why they want to destroy our Constitution that I swore to defend. When it happens I feel my wife's hand(either physically or in spirit) on my arm and her whispering, "don't".

My dad was in the Army for a decade and is MAGA through and through. My son-in-law served in the Army for ten years and is a liberal Democrat. Go figure.

I can barely talk to Dad but my SIL says heтАЩd rather people saved their thanks and just stopped saying that his ten years of service were because heтАЩs a sucker and loser.

Yep. Typical uneducated Trump voters whose impression of life in the military is 100% from the movies with no basis in reality. If we want to go back to that era how about mandatory serviceтАжTrump kids go first!
