Anti Veteran rant

the attached article is about a guy who posted a rant about Veterans being used for profit. Please read the article and, if you are anywhere near this guys business, I encourage you to use your own judgment regarding how you spend your money.

Safe to assume his hydrographing business is in trouble.

 

Pretty sad. The guy was only just partly right, but is criticizing the wrong group. Criticize the politicians. They are the ones who screw up everything.

Fuck that guy. He is an ignorant ass, exercising his freedom of speech. To bad he doesn't know what he is talking about. But then again most ranters don't.

 

sorry I offended you

 

This^^^

 

Honestly I'm kinda sick of all the soldier worshiping. Yeah sure, thanks for serving, but I'm not about to make a big deal about it. And calling them all heroes? Please...

 

im pretty sure RockLobster's point was that this article is not even remotely related to 2nd Gen Tacomas and belongs in a different section.

 

Putting your life on the line to protect people like you that don't give a fuck is a hero in my book.

offended? he was saying it was misplaced... you know maybe general discussion instead of 2nd gen discussion... does it go with mods for 2005+ Tacoma?

 

Bold strategy on his part.

I hope his business fails miserably. I do see what he was trying to do but his ideas are all fucked up and twisted.

 

Got any family members who served? Do they know how much you disdain their Service?

 

Go fall down a manhole. We get one day a year.

 

The entire basis of the relevant argument is that our domestic safety is *not* at risk with any of the modern military conflicts. Though I respect most members of the military, I do *not* think my freedom or safety is currently hinging on these overseas conflicts.

 

War profiteering has been the norm in this country for decades, but blaming the soldiers that are following the orders of their commanders is ignorant at best. This guys anger is completely misplaced. Go to the polls and rant with your vote against the politicians that push their corporate interests on the American soldier.

 

^^ yup

 

This isn't going to last long. To many vet's and active service people on TW that are going to unleash on you fucktards that think like this.

 

You should probably not show your face on this forum again. Please standby for the backlash...

 

Why can't we have an adult discussion without resorting to calling people that disagree with us 'fucktards' or 'assholes' etc.?

It really doesn't help your point any. I actually like talking about stuff like this. I usually learn something new and get different perspectives. When it immediately devolves into personal attacks it a) doesn't reflect well on the attacker and b) prevents *anyone* from learning *anything*
