Comparing the Abrams and t72 is basically like comparing a Korean War era Mig to a f22.

I knew a contra and a white guy who fought in the Rhodesian civil war if that counts. The contra guy actually got charged with some war crimes stuff, but ended up getting pardoned, iirc.

If it wasn't for the military, poor people wouldn't have gotten the skills they needed to contribute to society.

There was a kid in 6th grade that gave a book report on "Starship Troopers", but had to admit he didn't read the book and just saw the movie instead.

That's like all of Canada - ex-pats who couldn't hack it in the motherland. Pretty sure the only real Canadians are Inuits and fur trappers.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Had a friend who joined the army and did a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan. Was really pissed he didn't get to "kill any sand-niggers".

Another guy I knew in high school was borderline retarded and was a football star who enjoyed fighting people and pissing on furniture at parties. Joined the marines. Last I checked still a scumbag.

I know several vets and all but one of them is a raging rear end. The one who isn't is a bitter alcoholic. Pretty cool guy besides that but incredibly negative attitude all the time.

American troops have not "defended our country/freedom/democracy" in nearly 80 years.

Grenada was a "success". Other than that I got nothing. It really isn't the troops fault they are put in lovely wars with lovely plans because Boeing or something wants to make more money for those sweet kick-backs for congress. Did I say kick-backs I meant jobs. There ought to be a law where no one can vote in congress over wars unless they have kids in the service. I am not talking some desk job either, on the front lines or GTFO. That said, the way we treat the soldiers coming home is appalling and the republican party would have them die than get treatment, because "it costs too much". Every 80 minutes a soldier suicides, it has overtook the combat casualty rate for almost a year now.

That said, I bought a soldier a few rounds earlier today and he told me SoP things he shouldn't be saying. It's hosed up over there is all I am going to say. Also, he actually saw a pallet of 100 dollar bills. He told me any sane soldier would have done the three kings thing and bribed themselves over the border, sans refugees.

if he's smart he should get checked out by the VA, even if it takes forever, so he can get him some disability government funbux. and go to school. because there's nothing better than living off the government teat while getting a degree for free and staring at yoga-panted butts.

I'm in ROTC, and it's amazing how basically the military has done a great job of eliminating all appeal it might have to educated people by cutting benefits. So all you get is desperate people and people like me who just don't want a job while going to college.

I'm 1 of 22 STEM majors in my 150 man battalion lol.

nobody fucks with america or americans, pax americanus, vox americanus, tax americanus, lax americanus, max americanus :v:

know how a great nation needs idiots willing to die because they're just smart enough to know they're useful in death if led by mediocre mid level state college grads in a senseless war? Well I'm proud to have been one of those idiots, and I still love america, my fellow idiots, the sjw cliff baby faggots we're begrudgingly protecting by birthright, and even the coloured boy in the white house.

there is nothing in my heart but a love of going to bing searching for "nubile casting" filtering to "long 20 min+" "Resolutionr 720p+" and j/o'ing to some awesome poo poo, then talking about how much i love america and hate terrorists here.
