Is it Lunchlady Appreciation Day or something?
It is your Job that You signed up for.
You are getting Paid to do Your job.
I don't care if you put your life on the line. You put yourself in that position either because you were too stupid to get a real job or too lazy.
Do your job and stop expecting some great level of respect for doing grunt work that someone else would do if you weren't there to do it.
Is it Lunchlady Appreciation Day or something?
is this in regards to enlisted men/women, firemen/women, police or all the above?
lil'mo's chick must have ed a sailor on a carnival cruise ship
those guys deserve respect. They really get jerked around.

while the OP is a dumbass and there's certainly honor in serving your country, what we are currently doing overseas right now is definitely not honorable.
What an intelligent and well thought out thread post.
"Them military must be stupid or lazy if they're willing to put their life on the line"
You're right, it couldn't be because they value something greater than themselves and are brave enough to serve in that belief.
What's funny is that most service men and women don't expect any praise or congratulations (though when given it is very appreciated!). But, stereotyping an entire group of people as stupid or lazy is just moronic.
Rationalize your decision however you want. But basically what you do is a JOB. Your JOB is as honorable as being a trashman or clothing retailer or mall security.
Your dad must have been a sailor. It's ok lil' mo you'll see him one day.
So you don't feel like you owe any gra ude to the people who fought in World War 2? Do you realize how that altered the outcome of the way the world is today? Because of them, you're able to sit there being an ungrateful little and troll spurstalk in ENGLISH rather than in GERMAN. Suggesting they made the same difference in the world as a trashman or security guard is laughable. Sure, there's honor in those jobs, and someone has to do them, not everyone is cut out to be something great. But stop being a joke.
I support veterans of real wars, like ww2 and vietnam
They were drafted and did not make the choice, in most cases, to enlist.
Then I agree with you mostly and support this thread. Bush is a terrorist by our own definition.
I see your point, it is kind of corny to thank those guys for all that they do if say they're serving during a time when we aren't at war. In that case yes, they're just working a job like anyone else. That I can totally agree with. But even if I don't agree with the war, I've still got to support our troops at the very least. They didn't make the decision to go to Iraq.
That's cool, I don't disrespect or troops but I don't respect them any more than I respect anyone else who does their job.
I agree with 34% of this thread.
I agree completely.
We all know damn well that "serving my country" is very often a smokescreen for the 10s of 1000s of poor people who join the armed forces when they can't find jobs in a bad economy. iow, a bad economy is a great military recruiting tool, as the military understands very well.
I haven't read ANY complaints by about military recruiters not meeting their goals since the economy went to and unemployment soared a couple years ago.
I'm sure there were plenty of bona fide patriots who joined after 9/11, but then the lying Repugs sent them to the wrong damn country.
And given how bad are the decisions by politicians to go to war, and how badly they've mismanaged Viet Nam (Tonkin Gulf was a lie), Afghanistan, then absolutely, criminally lied their way into Iraq (read the UK enquiry into the Iraq run-up, if you have any doubts), I figure you have to be really desperate to join the Army or Marines now and yield your life/limbs/mind to these political assholes to screw up and waste, then get abandoned to oceans of red-tape and delays when trying to medical treatment post-service.
The guys who really needed sympathy but got nothing but abuse from Americans were the conscripted VN vets. I've never understood why people blamed these poor suckers for VN.
I thought your ass was leaving to become a full-time custodian?
Just tell them good job or bad job if being thankful is such a problem for you.
Or be weird and say nothing at all lol
They've never asked for or expected any thanks from self-important little monsters such as yourself, and you show show an appallingly huge ego in thinking that they want or need your thanks to continue to do what they do.
As for this, it shows an equally appalling ignorance on your part.
How am I supposed to know if they are doing a good job or a bad job? That's for their co's to decide. If I see the trash guy doing a good job, though, I'll say so and throw him a coke.
Your opening post in this thread called service members lazy idiots.
What about that statement is not disrespectful?
