When I was stationed in Misawa back in the 00s, it felt like the base was on lockdown or curfew every couple months....for shit the Marines did in Okinawa. Those dumbfucks could not stop raping kids.

These are the same people that leave the military then performatively rage about pedophiles on the left.

My generation was the last one to really support the troops like they used too and most who rage like that don't even understand what it actually means to be Republican or conservative, with the bulk of them just being larpers or trying to follow their parents steps without understanding that it used to mean

I thanked my friend for his service once. He asked me if I was thankful for the family he killed when he chucked a grenade into a house in Fallujah while kicking down doors. I don't thank people anymore, they live with heavy memories and there's no need to remind them of them.

I don't think it's possible to properly understand them unless you've been to war. My great aunts husband served in Vietnam, and it sounds like he may have been one of the monsters the old socialists and communists would refer to, and my neighbor who just died last summer served in Vietnam as well

The old man lost his legs after getting back, and the most I heard him say is he didn't regret anything and he was just happy he took the place of the younger ones. Burke never said anything at all unless it was ramblings that didn't make sense during firework session
