When I got to my ship in SF in 1980 the bars in the city still refused to serve military. When I lived in a 30 man berthing area for 2 1/2 years nobody thanked me. Friends of mine that came back from nam were spit on. People say that shit to make themselves feel better. And no. Some E-2 peeling spuds on KP duty stateside is not a fukn hero!

Thank you for your service.

Here's my response: Don't thank me. I don't need your platitudes. Go thank the guy missing parts. Go thank the guy that's so fucked up in the head, he tries to drown out the voices every day. These "wars" didn't benefit the USA and you can't convince me, a USMC veteran that was in Darwin on 9/11, that we benefited from any of our actions since 9/12. It was never about terrorism, if it was, why are we importing them as refugees?

I don't know how many throats I've shoved those jagged red pills the size of an NFL football down, but in that moment, that's the one they deserve.

It is horrible how many people got fucked up because of the USA's BS military operations. And for what?
