LOL military appreciation nights

[lil'mo]

If any soldier thinks he's fighting for freedom or safety of the USA then they must be pretty stupid. You also aren't fighting for your family. You're fighting to keep the rich rich and to protect a lifestyle.

bingo

[PingPong]

The freedom offers great opportunities. Too bad the ex-military aren't skilled or literate enough to get them.

I'm not thankless. I'm just no more thankful for military personnel than I am any person that does their job.

You gotta be kidding, what you're saying is completely insulting and thoughtless. I'm thankful for anyone who puts their life on the line for my benefit. Military, firemen, police, etc. And for the record, these people aren't unintelligent, the people who put them in harm's way for their own misguided reasons are. The men and women of the military are following orders.

Everyone of you people disparaging veterans are disgusting. Spend some time with the ones who come back from war with missing limbs, horrific burns and mental disorders before making your off-hand remarks about them. I guess the firemen who went up the stairs of the two WTC buildings to save lives were stupid too, huh? They had to be unintelligent to risk their lives for others right? It's gotta be because they were incapable of doing something else , right?

Unbelievable.

The massive military budget is necessary because America's economy operates outside the bounds of sanity and legality. Our massive debt can be called in any moment and the only reason it isn't is because the world fears our military might.

Lmao most of the US debt is to ourselves, and the most of the rest is to China. Those Chinese midgets depend on our economy for their economy to flourish. If they decide to demand us to pay then we'll just cut off our import/exports with them.

[313]

God, that was poorly worded but oh well

[313]

Let's compare to yours to be more specific:

Him: Get up before dawn, kevlar vest, primary weapon, side arm, full battle gear, possibly a ruck.. convoy of tanks or armament, moving though hostile territory where people are trying to kill you.

You: Get up before dawn, put on your Taco Bell manager suit, drive to the local convenience store for cheap coffee and gas, go to Taco Bell, panic because most people called in again, lock yourself in your small office and post on ST about your home in Breck.

Yeah, I see a difference.

[Biernutz]

LOL trust fund baby's living in mom's basement acting edgy to impress each other.......

[Solid D]

Consider lil'mo's insecurities exposed.

[milkyway21]

rofl, I'm too smart to enlist in the military

Huh! You not just ruling out the importance of the military & saluting what they have done for you country, risking their lives, you are also implying they are not smart by serving for your security, genious.
I love the NBA but : Military>NBA

I agree with the jerseys though. Eye-sore

The same lifestyle your relatives swam the Rio for, walked miles across private hunting leases carrying water jugs and uncooked beans, set up shop in ty parts of town... that lifestyle?

Don't say it. Nowadays, a impressive number of U.S. military are latinos and black people. The illegals can get a green card serving the army.

Nice try fatass. My family isn't from Mexico.

[lefty]

Nice try fatass. My family isn't from Mexico.

Well if they speak Spanish, they are from Mexico

[RD2191]

Well if they speak Spanish, they are from Mexico

Yeah, because we all know if you speak Spanish in the US you must be Mexican.

[lefty]

Yeah, because we all know if you speak Spanish in the US you must be Mexican.

it's automatic!

[PingPong]

Like some people in latin américa call any english spoken movie or song 'american', even if it's australian, irish or swede.

[DMC]

Yeah, because we all know if you speak Spanish in the US you must be Mexican.

Right, you're from Spain. Sure.

[lefty]

Right, you're from Spain. Sure.

That Mexican can tell who is Mexican or isnt

[superbigtime]

Like most sane people I appreciate the military. Military appreciation night is cool in a military town like SA. But the jerseys...they suck. Why does there have to be a different jersey on military appreciation night in the first place, much less camo jerseys.

Dude come on now "TACO BELL MANAGER" your giving this fool way to much credit.

The military and ex-military get socialized medicine then vote to deny it for the taxpayers that fund it for them.

[xellos88330]

The military and ex-military get socialized medicine then vote to deny it for the taxpayers that fund it for them.

Wow.

You might want to get your facts straight before you state something so ignorant. Military personnel pay taxes. We are taxpayers too. Would you vote to have even more money taken away when you already have a job that provides the service? The military member doesn't make very good money unless you are a general or something and that could take a load of years in service to achieve.

We have already put our lives on the line, why should we vote to pay more of our money to help you all out? Your remarks and this thread don't make things any better.

EDIT: I forgot to add in that the Military does have a strict code of conduct that one must follow. If you up just once, you could lose all of your benefits as well as face difficult times outside of service. Good luck trying to find a job that has a big fat "Dishonorable Discharge" from your service. You will be doomed to working with lil'mo at Taco Bell for the rest of your life.

What part of the Iraq War did you benefit from?

[xellos88330]

What part of the Iraq War did you benefit from?

Do you have a car?

Whether you like the war or not, if you have anything that uses oil, you are benefitting.
