     @lpheathen2 "ha ha these dumb kids they wouldn't EVER fight for their country."

     "oh you fought?"

     "well no I got a deferment, because I was in community college at the time, working on my communications degree I would have but vietnam ended before I could finish"

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @lpheathen2 Plus, Vietnam was France's war, the US should've aided Rhodesia in her hour of need but instead here we are

     @Rhodesian_YuKari @lpheathen2 I know, I just have to fight for their honor to a small extent, because most the boomer generation skipped vietnam if they had any sort of money/plan/status. It was basically fought by drafted slave legions of guys without a support network, but the way they post on facebook makes it sound like they all served as tunnel rats.

     Kids today are soft and gay, but everyone was surprised by how the kids stepped up in 2002 - those poor bastards went through the ringer a number of times, and the olds said they couldn't hack it then, too. Nobody really mentions that the dogshit treatment GWOT vets REALLY hamstrings any recruiting you'd expect today too.

     If it wasn't for all the other reasons not to join, one look at your cousin's utterly ruined knees (b/c the military forced him to overload them for years as a show of authority & force) is enough to make you apply to an apprenticeship instead

     @poastoak @Rhodesian_YuKari @lpheathen2 We only had ONE man in the family go out into that 30-year span of war, deploy, and come back alive.

     An uncle once said "we already gave uncle same the better brothers" when I was a teen, really stuck with me. Every time I'm disappointed in one of the family I wonder what we let them prune away
