I mean, they are regular guys. Most of them look like that

I'm sure I can make plenty of AF presumptions about you that wouldn't be flattering, so let's save the military bickering shall we? Honestly, it's none of your business what I did. I did 3 tours and 10 years. It was enough. Who tf are you to judge my service either way? Nobody. That's who.

Nah you don't get to get off like you know everything cause you don't know shit. You mf have no clue what goes on in the Army, but to sit here and pretend like you know is asinine. You were not there. Don't presume you know me or my situation. I don't mind ignorance, but stupidity is avoidable.

Unless you work on the personnel office in the Pentagon or did some serious cross branch study, idk how you know the EMPTO of what's happening in the Army. You claim a lot of circumstantial knowledge that can't be substantiated because you don't know me. Soooo.....

Yes. In fact, one of the people at MEPS knew my people and gave me the options. I didn't choose it because it was really far away from my siblings and the AIT was 2 years. If I knew what I knew now I would have chosen it. So, no. I wasn't bamboozled. I chose IT instead.

You have no idea when I joined so you can't say if that's true. And I chose my MOS. It was offered but I didn't take it. Idk what's so hard to understand about that. They can't make do a job I don't want.

And I promise you it wasn't. They had been chasing me for years. I just let them catch me.

Nope. They needed commo to deploy with. So my orders actually got changed when I arrived in Hawaii. Which sucked. My buddy was in a unit that went to the beach every day.

No you don't understand. It can't possibly cross your mind that I was a OCS candidate with the right scores. Or that my mother was a drill sgt and told me all the things that would happen. I made that choice and the only thing I did wrong was choose IT over biomedical engineering. Gn AF girl.

I will. I am happy with anyone who is too old or unwilling to fight back to be replaced tbh. Change will come from a younger, bolder, more empathetic group.

No. They said I couldn't be a pilot and they said despite my high scores in everything, my eyesight and hernia needed waivers. The Army got a gem on accident honestly. But I made them work for it. I was definitely anti-establishment. Lol

Is she worth it? Will she stand up to Trump? If so, I have no objections and would appreciate it.

You're wrong there. There was no break or time for them to do such a thing. I'm that kind of man. I told no one of my situation, because like you, I come from veterans. My mom is still serving in fact, in the reserves. When the AF said no, I walked across and into the Army. That's it.

Does that mean you like Kamala? Why not just say that? What's the bee for? I thought that was a Beyonce thing.... Whatever man. Good for you.

Idk what that means. I'm 38 years old. I haven't followed a trend since the stanky leg or something. I don't keep up all these new names of shit you guys do now.

Nah that wasn't the point. I was on the streets and needed a place to go. You would think a 127 GT score would kill that, but no. I just couldn't wait any longer and the Army was shipping us to Iraq like hotcakes. So it was just easier than shot or arrested.

And I disagree. I'm not saying he's perfect. But he has the right idea in a lot of places.

I like you best because you are the type that would have voted for a third party instead of Kamala because of Gaza. And that didn't end well.

You guys woke me up actually. I'm actually up and ready. You guys were entertaining. I'm not really a social media person so, to engage in somewhat interesting debate was fun. Still nobody answered my question. All this talk, what's the alternative? So many who feel so strongly should act.

I'm invested, but not THAT invested. Y'know? Like I said, I may come across it again.

Not true. Lol. While you are smarter than the Army, you're not infallible. I'll give you that and I'm not mad. I would've joined the AF, I wanted to be a pilot. But I couldn't see well and would've had to wait 3 more months. The army offered me any job I wanted so I went. Bad choice....

Nah I'm good bro. I don't work for you or anything... Sheesh. If I ever scroll by it again tho, I'll post it.

No we're not. That's how I know you don't know what you're talking about. You must be Air Force. I tend to like y'all because you're efficient, but not the snobby attitude.

Yes. And I explained why. They fought each other constantly. What's your beef with me? If you continued to investigate, you would see that I actually helped her. I understand you're super liberal, but I'm an ally so chill.

That wasnt it

Yeah, cause you know me so well. 🙄

And my experience was unique, as you put it. It's a hell of a tale that I'm proud of because I helped any soldier that wanted it or felt bullied and mistreated. I just saw one the other day and she's in WOC, so I'm happy I helped.

But you weren't, soooo...

So what's the alternative? That's my question. I've dealt with all of these types before and I know who I'd rather deal with. You're all telling me, that in order to win, you wouldn't make a truce with the enemy of your enemy? Nobody said you had to be friends. That's what I'm saying.

It's worse for y'all because y'all eat yourselves. I've had a headache of a time dealing with the women in general. It was simpler with the infantry Meatheads. To your point, the politics are not the same in every branch. So if you weren't in the Army, you wouldn't understand.
