It’s underappreciated and no one cares the support the troops stuff is fake. Oh thank you for your service but if feels more like pity. I’m still in the Marines deployed twice to Afghan and currently prepping to try and go to Special Ops I could care less if anyone thanked me I make good money and get to do dope shyt
You bout to go out for Recon, breh?

Both. I think Vietnam vets are the most under appreciated tho. My history class this past semester was visited by a Black Army vet from Virginia Beach who was drafted for the ‘Nam War and some of the stories he told us about the Tet Offensive, the quagmires, the natural environment, the weaponry, the sudden loss of some of his comrades and friends, the racism from this white soldier who was in his unit (who used to terrorize a Black community across the train tracks), the letters to his mother, etc. had everyone like 
Especially when he told us about the psychological and mental effects the war had on him and everybody else who survived it to this very day. He has PTSD and even though it be moments where he literally can’t go to sleep for hours or even days, his PTSD isn’t even some of the more insane ones I’ve heard. Other than that, he’s doing fine with his wife. He’s a pretty cool old veteran and it was pretty humbling to hear what a Black Vietnam vet had to say about the shyt that went down.

Yeah. Physically and mentally, that type of training is no joke. I follow David Goggins and AJ James (two Black Navy Seals). They’re solid dudes. Inspirational.

I'd say over and under appreciated at the same time. I think way more money should be dedicated to taking care of vets. Hell build a special wing of housing even if just like a huge apartment building to house veterans who find themselves homeless or with medical issues.
I say over appreciated for those that did a few years and bounced and want people saluting them. Those the types that ruffle feathers. Those that'll be on their facebook talking about how people should salute them or cussing out restaurants or other locations for not offering a veteran's discount. Or those that throw fits talking about how they protected this country when they've been nowhere near a combat zone and in private talked about how much of a joke their assignments were and how much they were kicking it.
I may be an a$$hole for it but I ain't going to be the one giving a standing ovation everytime I see someone in uniform or giving up my plane seat to somebody in uniform. Part of it I think is living around military bases for so long and seeing how big of a$$holes so many soldiers were.

Yea you might get free college but what if you don't get a job after graduation? What if you get cancer two years after you get out because of something that happened while you were in? Now you're jobless and have to find a to pay for your medical treatment to treat something that the military gave you

when the hell did i say this?holding this country by handing out a ton of fukking jobs? people throw around "the military industrial complex is evil" but completely discount the fact that it pretty much dragged this country out the great desperation and is a pillar of our economy - and rest assured, if it wasn't us selling this shyt then it'd damn sure be someone else. yal don't want those problems. you really don't.
on the other hand we look the other way entirely when it comes to insurance, medical, and even educational sectors openly fukk the entire population sidewaysif you don't want to join the military that's more than okay. shyt, if its a part of your moral beliefs then even better. totally respect that shyt. but to act like the military is directly effecting people's lives in a significant way during their day to day is just wildly offbase. army ain't fukking your rent up, throwing massive loans at you, or making you pay double or triple what some medical product is actually worth. military isn't gonna make you pull a second mortgage, force your kids to look at charter schools if they want real education, or charge you out the ass just to see a doctor.
some specialist in a camaro might fukk someone's wife but that's really about it

Never understood this fascination with the army, I'm not even sure they are worshipped as much in Russia, Turkey, China and them.
It's even stranger coming from a country that seemingly is by nature skeptical of the government...it's almost as if the Army isn't the armed extension of that same government

didn't say you didwhen the hell did i say this?
but those institutions deserve the same energy if not more if people got time for calling out the military
