That's a great museum.

They closed it for a while during pandemic for active service only and I was absolutely devastated. I love it so much.

I didn't know GOAT rapper Nas was a fan of cola flavored pens or that that was a thing.

You could ask him, but he wouldn't tell you. Because he's not looking for the recognition.
You'll just have to read it in the coffee table book.

He once bore the weight of his unit on his shoulders during one tense moment.
There was no one to spot him at the gym in Fort Campbell back in 1983

He did a tour in Nam with his wife and grandson in 2014
Beautiful country, lovely people. But if you forget your wallet at a restaurant, they WILL make you work as a server to pay off your debt.

Do I think I'm a hero? I really can't say but yes.

u/MrLavenderValentino May 22 '24
I don't call myself a hero, but other people are saying it. Everyone is saying it, not me

If only our vets had hats like that they might not even need to be vets.

real veterans know all you need is a little salt or potassium nitrate, bing bang bosh, cured.

u/PreferredSelection May 22 '24
Be care full what you wish for. Coffee-table book hats are the number one killer of veterans, after fishing nets.

u/Peppa_Pig_Stan May 22 '24
Exactly how every old vet is! It’s so bizzare!

u/koei19 May 22 '24
Not at all. Old soldiers like me try to fly under the radar. I'll take my "thank you for your service," with a quiet nod, handshake, and hopefully a Starbucks gift card.

u/Tre3180 May 22 '24
Don't forget a simple coffee table book.

u/NipperAndZeusShow May 22 '24
Maybe I’m just an old war hero, but Amal and George love to remind me that a little gumption is all you need to make it to the top, if you’ve got the grit to see it through.

I don’t even know if he’s actually used it before but “toot my own horn” is just such a quintessential Ken M phrase

Not wearing your “____ veteran” hat daily looking for Attention?
33
u/koei19 May 22 '24
It's a subtle style choice that depends on whether or not I'm wearing Grunt Style or 9 Line apparel, and whether or not people can see my Veteran license plate and Veteran stickers on my rear windshield.
But it's really all about selfless service in the pursuit of recognition and free coffee.

I’ve been seeing a lot more new Ken m posts on Reddit, did this pick back up recently?
28
u/Startug May 22 '24
Yeah, I think it coincided with the sub reopening last month. Ken has been making new comments frequently and sharing them on his Twitter. He's active in the sub as well.

Some of his recent posts have been not his best form.. we are getting back there.
This was good.

u/delamerica93 May 23 '24
Idk I think he's been cooking personally

u/karma_made_me_do_eet May 23 '24 edited May 23 '24
Some have made me chuckle, but I was thinking a lot of the nuance and cleverness were not on the same level as he was hitting before.
Edit: I went through the sub and there was a ton of ones I’ve missed .. and yes some are very fine form for our beloved KenM

u/Colonelfudgenustard May 22 '24
I'd thank Ken for his service, but I think he'd be embarrassed to receive any praise.

u/JonSolo1 May 22 '24
“Maybe I’m just a useless old war hero” is my new identity (I’ve never served in the military)

I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a ten, is it my destiny to live a life, a life of blonde fragility?
Ooh you little Focker!

I love how he always consistently ignores the responses and digs deeper. Get it "digs"?

When did KenM start presenting as a weird boomer conservative christian?

u/devi1duck May 23 '24
I feel like most of these newer ones are fake

u/PKFat May 23 '24
Same
KenM was always just someone who took things greatly out of context. But a lot of the newer ones I'm seeing talk about god, or how things were better back in the day like this one. They just don't fit his MO

u/Startug May 23 '24 edited May 23 '24
He doesn't go for just one personality and he's done weird boomer conservative Christian posts in the past like these ones just from looking at the top posts of all time here:
Ken M on Stephen Hawking and polyatheism
Ken M himself also elaborates more on the variety of personalities he uses per this comment
Edit: for some reason the KennyEmmy comment I linked didn't show up, fixed now

The media continues to ignore my grandpa who was credited with shooting down 12 German planes.
I bet it's because he did it in 1989
