Related: About this forumI love the I almost served crowd as a vet
I ran into a wannabes maga vets standing in line at grocery store dude had on a jacket with military patches the only two I recognized was a submarine badge and senior Drill sgt badge from army a pumpkin patch seeing the awards as former Airborne infantry to me at 56 its not adding up I had to ask and his trumpig 2024 hat. So I asked this wannabe turd sporting badges and he told me he never served yet hes all about 2A yet his two uncles served.
And here DU vets we actually enlisted and served when we could have just walked around in a jean jacket with awards we never earned dumb asses we were.

I want to tell them: "Dude. I lived it. And you don't see me playing dress up and pretend like some idiotic shit-show."
Then I remember: Idiotic; that's four syllables. They'll never grok what I'm saying.
Which is why these festering bungholes are never for the 1st Amendment, only for the 2nd. They're only capable of flexing their index fingers, and even then, only if they can remember the necessary sequence of muscle movements.

(4,185 posts)of addressing one of these MAGA goons, my first question is always, "What branch did you serve in?"
That's usually the end of the conversation.

(3,334 posts)We moved to NC near Camp Lejeune. We would go out for dinner and when we asked for the check we were often told that some Marine had already paid it. So we would ask for the check of a Marine family. We still buy a Marine family dinner when we go out.

(33,403 posts)I worked for a defense contractor. We had an arrogant manager who mouthed off to the wrong people...he was a Nam vet and claimed he received the DSC. The two people he bragged to were a retired 06 and an 05. This guy pissed off many people and the retired 06 & 05 checked out his claim which turned out to be false...he was terminated on the spot.
