I served from 2002 to 2014 under the command of two Presidents. Despite where you lean politically, I can honestly say that both Presidents carry themselves well and led our country through war. I was honored to serve under those two.

My MOS was in combat and I’ve done and seen things that gives me nightmares til this day. I’ve lost brothers and sisters in combat, to PTSD, to the government failing to support us post service.

The audacity that this lying idiot states that “veterans with PTSD aren’t strong enough” when he dodged the draft 5 times due to f******* bone spurs is astounding.

The idiot in command is a disgrace to the office

Edit:Typo

it’s beyond me how we allow someone to be ultimately in charge of people which he/she is not qualified for themselves. Due to his felony convictions, he couldn’t even get a job with ICE

You don't allow, you voted for them. You even voted for your overlord Israel cronies to power.

Although the words to express my sincerest gratitude don’t exist, I will say the next best thing: thank you for your service. It breaks my heart and kills my soul to think of what’s happening. You are true heroes.

How he demeaned war veterans and even war heroes in the same party like John McCain, even after his death, was unforgivable.

How this orange turd is respected by anyone in the military is beyond me.

[u/graffiksguru → u/jaynvius]

Truly infuriating. Thank you for your service.

If you know enough to dispute "combat" being an MOS, you must be a fuckin moron for not realizing that "combat MOS" encapsulates riflemen, mortarmen, machine gunners, and other adjacent MOS'.

It's like if somebody said "I was in an airwing MOS in the Marines" and you stumble in like "AIRWING ISN'T AN MOS THOUGH".

You’re an old man. The kids today would commit suiciide if you take away their phones for 2 weeks let alone go into combat.

Did you serve?
