"Don't criticize what you can't understand."

[GROUCHO MARX]

This is a line from a Bob Dylan song as most here would know. It was part of the anthem of the '60s.

I find it interesting that I think this way of our military personnel. For all the criticism they get from some quarters, it is beyond my comprehension the sense of duty to their fellow citizens they possess. Without people such as these, not the people who send them to all corners of the world, I wonder what condition the Western World would be in.

The pay is hardly adequate, the working condtions can be horrible and your life can be in jeopardy in a moment's notice.


I'm not critical, but as I am with many good people, I am amazed.
Thank you veterans, you perplex and shame me at the same time.

We would be in a way worse shat hole if not for our vets. We Would be a stinking door mat for the scum who just somehow think their lifestyle is so much more superior than ours.

 

[SteveSRT8]

absolutely. God bless every one of our vets and active service personnel.

The only thing that keeps us safe is the ability to kick arse when needed!
