You are race baiting, thread high jacking troll POS. I think I found the first person to block on here because u have nothing but trouble to offer everywhere you post. Unbelievable.Wasn't trying to troll. I was thinking in terms of soldiers' honor and respect for one another even across allegiance lines. Not ISIS or other irregular terrorists we've been fighting. I know ex Wehrmacht soldiers some of them emigrated to the states after WW2 and became friends with their former battle enemies. Do you hate the German grunts too or just the Nazis giving the orders?
Ya I hear you bubba, I’m just being my cranky old f*** self as usual, even when I’m being a dick I’m usually chuckling to myself as I talk so please don’t take me too seriously. I’d rather just go sit in the woods with a fire and a case of beer and be left alone.God bless ya cams. The limited Veterans Day menu of precooked shit they put out nowadays sux. I would just rather order whatever I wanted off of the full menu and paid for it.

I was thinking that just today. All this "thank you for your service" nonsense yet we provide our veterans with bottom of the barrel medical care and staff it with MD's who are unemployable in the private sector.Fix the f***ing VA system.
The VA prolly killed more people than the war.I was thinking that just today. All this "thank you for your service" nonsense yet we provide our veterans with bottom of the barrel medical care and staff it with MD's who are unemployable in the private sector.
No pun intended. lolRanger TV is a sure fire cure.
The best doctor I ever had at the VA was a pain specialist and he started a Acupuncture clinic. He was killing it! Helping out a lot of guys get off Meds. Because the VA wants zombies and he was actually helping guys they got pissed at him and ran him out. The VA basically fired him, let him resign so he could still get Gov employment alsewhere.I was thinking that just today.

The VA will wait for people to die. Here's the thing civies don't get. The VA isn't there to give out money like they think they are. The VA is there to protect government liability.

I hate it when corporate America thanks me by sponsoring free meals at chain restaurants I wouldn’t feed to my dogI said this last year: it grates on me when people thank me for my service. I won’t rehash it this year.
It’s been a good day. Got my leaves raked.
BullshitYeah I know I meant former soldiers of enemy republics who are now Americans too. Didn't mean to offend or trigger anyone sorry guys America First.
Jesus...Beer and MRE’s baby. The way life should be. lol
Spot the eff on Chad!I was thinking that just today. All this "thank you for your service" nonsense yet we provide our veterans with bottom of the barrel medical care and staff it with MD's who are unemployable in the private sector.
One can only hope....I said this last year: it grates on me when people thank me for my service. I won’t rehash it this year.

JHC! I was up on the roof cleaning my gutters today in the rain and watching a 'Fans Only' "gutter balls" feed. Is this how you envision heroes?
Delay, Deny until the veteran dies! That’s the VA’s mottoThe VA will wait for people to die. Here's the thing civies don't get. The VA isn't there to give out money like they think they are. The VA is there to protect government liability. That's that.
I admit to copping a few free meals many years ago, but not for at least 20 years now. It just seems shallow. The one thing I never want to be is one of those "professional veterans" who wears mismatched uniforms from different branches and different times, and advertises "veteran-ness" at all times. (Many of those guys are highly suspect, by the way.)I wanted to reply to this thread yesterday, but was so tired from work that I dosed off after dinner...
Yes, we were open yesterday. People give me shit about that every year. But, we trade Veterans Day for the day after Thanksgiving, so that my people can have a long weekend at Thanksgiving with their families. And I am the only Vet at the company. My new book keeper asked me yesterday why I didn't just take the day off? I am the boss and can do what I want. I told her it was because that wouldn't be fair, and I am not special.
Dad was a WWII Marine in the Pacific
Brother was a Viet Nam Marine
I enlisted before the ink was dry on my high school diploma
All three of us 03 Marines. All three with CAR's. All three saw different jungles. I was the only one sent to a desert.
A couple of things I just realized that are pretty cool... All three of us qualified/ were issued 1911's and all three of us would have fired the Ma Deuce.
I will never accept a free meal or discount from a corporation. I refuse to be a part of their BS, fake concern publicity stunts. When you really care about shit, you don't have to announce it with a nationally advertised, feel good promotion. Applebees probably spent more on advertising their free shit than on the actual food they gave away. How bout you just STFU and spend that money directly, and quietly, on Vets in need?
Nah
#MeTooWell, we all got Tinnitus for free, anyway!
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.Educate yourself.
Veterans Day is an American version of an international holiday celebrating the end of WWI. Other countries, the ones who were involved in WWI, celebrate today as their Memorial Day. It’s why you see Canadian hockey coaches wearing poppies: the poppies are intended, in those countries, to honor the dead.
We already had a Memorial Day. So we call this one Veterans Day. It has a different meaning here than it does in other countries.
And yes, the Germans (our enemies in WWI) celebrate the Armistice too, but they do it on an early-November Sunday as a religious occasion.
I usually smile and reply, "Thank You but you paid me" and the DOD is still paying me.I said this last year: it grates on me when people thank me for my service. I won’t rehash it this year.
