Does being in the military make you better than others?

[Sleeper]

Most military people I have met, have no real combat experience. They partied, and had fun for 4 years.

The guys who get shot at, and all that other jazz i respect. Mainly not from them protecting my so called freedoms, but that they volunteered for it.

Lets just say, how many proud ww2 vets did you see as a child? Id see a hat from time to time. Most would not even talk about it. Then every tom dick and harry that was in Nam thinks the world owes them something. Its very similar to the vets coming home today. Back ww2 days there was a clean winner. The boys came home knowing they did good.

I think its hard for the Nam vets and the vets of today to say the same. This brings them to cling to the i fought for your freedoms line.

The military is more than a job it is a lifestyle in my humble opinion, I don't think less of you for not serving; however, I do wonder about you when you seem intent on bashing those who served who were not killed in action or awarded the CMH. If this is the case then the fire fighter who does not die in the fire but saves a life should not be held in high esteem? The police officer who patrols the highways for years arresting the drunk driver who may have hit you or a loved one but never fires a shot is not worthy? The soldier who wakes up in Afghanistan and fixes breakfast as a cook for those who patrol but never fires a shot, she is less than too?

I'm not bashing those who served. I'm bashing those who think they should automatically garner a higher level of respect than anyone else.

I see what you did there.

Good, hate me.

Not only are you hypocritical, but you can't read either. I never said I hated you.

i dont give two shits. You have zero clue what honor, courage, and commitment means.

You assume.

You dont know what respect means.

I respect those worthy of it. You have given me no reason to respect you.

I absolutely think the world should respect the military.

But wait, didn't you just say:

I respect everyone in a uniform until they show disrespect or like the world owes them something.

Oh fuck, you sure as hell did. Pick a side, you can't have your cake and eat it too, in this instance.

That doesnt mean kiss their ass,

To you it does.

but show them the respect they deserve.

And they get every ounce of respect they deserve, the same amount shown to any other run of the mill person.

You also dont get to quit the military like a job.

Jobs, generally, also don't have contracts that spell out a length of time you must work there.

You're showing the very characteristics you claim to disrespect. You think the world owes people that served some respect. I don't owe you a goddamn thing. You were compensated for a job that you agreed to do. Does it suck when people are killed in the line of duty? Fuck yes. Don't attempt to elevate everyone to the position of those that have been killed, you're only doing a disservice to the sacrifice.

Congratulations, you are what you claim to hate.

gimme a fuckin break Sean. dont even try to spin this.
You are a true cocksucker if you dont give them the respect due because they signed the ultimate contract(their life).....one that you never signed i might add. Now, if they go around being assholes that expect privilidges and whatnot, that respect goes away. I respect everyone in a uniform until they show disrespect or like the world owes them something.

You sound alot like the little boy that grew up in a military family but could never be in the military do to complications and is now bitter towards them.

Seriously, Dewayne.

News flash. Your job doesn't earn you respect, you being respectable does. Who cares if someone has served in the military? The job and routine actions hold no reverence. When you go above and beyond is when you are afforded some special privileges. You sound kinda like the alcoholic dad from Major Payne, sans alcohol.

This constant "youre retarded" and other shit talk from you directed towards me. That is all you contribute? a comment to me that is uncalled for when I explain my opinion perfectly.

I hate to interject here in your moon blood showing, but just because you explain your opinion doesn't make it not retarded. Many people can perfectly explain extremely retarded ideas.

[ELVIS]

i get mad respect, im in the chamillitary.

god bless.

The last time I saw someone bleed this much was on Las Vegas BLVD.
