Is that a stupid question? Like aren’t most people negatively impacted
I imagine that they’re fishing for compliments regarding leadership training, job placement, etc.
“I taught this guys wife how to fuck 10 guys.”
Should’ve said nine.
Well hopefully their social media PR person learned a valuable lesson- Don’t ask a question on the internet unless you’re really prepared for people to give you an answer you’re not going to like.
Nope. Most people in the military aren’t combat troops. A military the size of the one the US has requires a fuck ton of non-combat positions to function.
I think it was The Onion that made an article promoting a new Call of Duty game where all you do is fix humvees and wait on watch.
So you get booted for smoking week?
I was friends with a military guy who used to hate the whole “thank you for your service” thing. He was like “I work in a fucking office in Dallas”.
“Thank you for your service” seems to be what people say when they claim to support servicemen/women and then try to defund the VA, Tricare, and post-service mental care.
For most service members the Military is basically just a guaranteed job with a REALLY good on site gym membership
This made the rounds at the time, I think on veterans day. Most replies was negative and brutal. The account ended up apologizing.
Some poor army private had a bad day that day.
Eh, military has a lot of jobs outside of combat situations, so idk if “most” ex-military are negatively impacted although I imagine anyone who’s seen combat is.
I doubt most are negatively impacted overall. Though those who are, are often extremely negatively impacted (PTSD, serious permanent injury, death).
I see a lot of service members in my job… trust me a large percentage are negatively impacted…
I’d think death would extremely negatively impact a person.
Wow - never seen just how, while tragic, low the death rate is.

So many self inflicted! And plenty of illness.
What especially sticks out to my laymen self is the trend where active duty numbers decrease over time, but self-inflicted casualties continue to increase.
Additionally, the 2nd last page - from 2010 ~ 2019 the total deaths trend down from 1,485 to 893. Impressive! However, self-infliction continues to rise. :(
Thank you for sharing!
It is my (possibly flawed) understanding that because of improvement in personal armor, armored vehicles, etc. deaths in combat have in general dropped, but the psychological repercussions have not. So you still have plenty of people with severe PTSD that end up being part of that terrible ‘self-inflicted’ statistic.
No. If you look at all the bad shit, and I’m including rapes, active duty PTSD, etc by high estimates you are taking 30%. If you take that as the worst case scenario, consider the past and education is easy to see most have an improved life.
So so so much of the military is logistics who will never see fighting.
Oh man that question backfired on them so hard
Military family. I’ve seen and experienced firsthand how hard the MIC fucks each and every member over.
It’s nice seeing new generations realize it’s bullshit
Preach.
Sorry, I’m not familiar with the acronym “MIC”, what does it mean?
Military industrial complex. It’s the system that keeps USA running. Aka the meat grinder. Feed young men and women to the beast, harvest their blood sweat and tears, reap more tax dollars every single year, interfere with foreign nations and profit from their suffering.
Interestingly, Eisenhower in his original draft of the speech called it the “military-industrial-congressional complex” but eventually scratched out “congressional”. It would have been even more prescient had he left that in, not that it would have made any difference.
from “Hetero, King of Incels”
a lot going on there
I mean it all kind of adds up.

Well he picked his handle and 10 is a lot of guys for it to still be considered cheating. Mr Hetero’s vibe doesn’t scream date my sister even if he doesn’t break her heart with another man.
Unless you’re talking about the statistic around civilian spouses and infidelity because those numbers are very much not incel.
Don’t forget about all those great VA benefits and after service care that Congress likes to cut until there’s PR on them.
“Support the troops! Fuck the Veterans!”

Yeah buddy…
Becoming an incel was another way serving affected him

Only 10 guys? Musta been an ugly lady. We heard stories about a Major’s wife who was hitting triple digits.
“Now Jodie’s got your girl – that’s right”
I think someone wrote a little song about it. A jaunty rap f you will.
At the same time?
I’d be kinda impressed, but then again it’s not much different past the first 5
gimmie that good 'ol marine corps spirit!
I’ve always found it weird that the Soviet Red Army also did the “oo rah” thing. It’s even weirder that “gung ho” is Mandarin for “pull together” and started out as a slogan for the Chinese Communist Party before migrating to the Marine Corps via Evans Carlson in WWII.
Boom.
“Injury unrelated, claim denied. Thank you for your service.”
And we’re shocked when veterans who experience physical and/or mental pain turn to alcoholism, drug abuse, or suicide when the VA and society fail them.
Honestly I’m surprised how surprised most folks are by military spouse infidelity
It’s an open secret they only got together for the housing benefits. At this point it’s almost expected as the dues ya pay for ditching everyone else in the barracks.
