        And even after you’re discharged, you don’t disrespect the military or the country it protects. You just complain about “politicians” and “businessmen,” which is fair, but it’s the same logic as bad apples.

      If you think our barracks or on post housing are bad, wait until you see the inside of Ft. Leavenworth.

      Also, kill the CO’s all you want, there’s literally an army full of LT’s waiting for their chance to get an extra shiny bar and sit in the big chair.

      It’s especially funny when they become veterans and complain about “the government” mistreating their soldiers. Never criticizes the officers or generals, and never criticize the military as an institution. It’s just politics that’s sending our boys to die and letting them drink rusty water and hazed.

      I think it’s the difference between being drafted into a fucked conflict versus signing up willingly (which means you likely get a variety of very weird as Hell personality types), that and also indoctrination happens big time on bases with boots told to “tough it up”
