A Horrible Story

[DamnYankee]

But he was a Marine, he served his country in time of war. Much more than you can ever say about what you did for your country. America will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

And what is most fucked up, is I don't believe you HAVE to serve in the military. but you talk more shit about men and women that have placed themselves in harms way. When you do that, then I want to know, WTF did you do?

Actually, I talk shit about assholes, whether they served or not. You seem to think that your service gives you an out, but you are sadly mistaken.

No you talk shit about service members in general. In this post alone you think that Soldiers are committing sucide because their parents were too soft on them. You say this having no proof, no evidence to point to and NO FRAME OF REFERENCE. You are nothing but a shit talker and a demeaner of people who served their country and did not come out of it whole. You pretend to know what they went through when you have NO IDEA. You can't know because you did not serve. Lots of people did not serve, but usually the kind of shit you talk about those that have served was heard from the mouths of Vietnam protesters who called vets baby killers and war criminals. You and the hippies are no different. You didn't serve, you have no idea what it meant to serve but you feel it is appropriate to demean those that did serve.

Actually, what I said was:

I think a lot of this is due to the way parents coddle their kids these days.

Your extreme hatred and misunderstanding of social conservatives cause you to translate a simple sentence into something else entirely.

Seriously, I think a lot of this is due to the way parents coddle their kids these days. Lots of jobs are stressful. My parents- both of them- would have said "deal with it, kid".

This is what you said. You compared service in wartime to "lots of jobs". You infer that these combat vets were coddled by their parents and that is why they commit suicide. And NEITHER of your parents would have said shit because, as I have pointed out repeatedly, you did not serve. You judge without knowing shit about what they went through. You will NEVER know what they went through and have no right to judge. You should keep your mouth shut unless talking about fightin' down by the crick where you leave instructions under a bridge on how to git to you.

Yet again, your argument is destroyed, this time by the facts presented in the OP:

The reasons are complicated and the accounting uncertain

Yet somehow you claim to know the exact reasons, all because you heard some popping sounds while you were in uniform in a far off place...

"Deal with it, kid"? That is what you think would save the suicides?

The stresses of being in the military are very real, especially in wartime or times of significant threats. There have always been suicides in the military. There was a time when many were covered up, but they have always been there.

Perhaps if we took a tiny % of the obscene budget for the military and spent it on taking positive steps to help these kids we could lower the numbers.

Here’s where the money needs to be spent. Watch the video “Specialist Tad Donoho on joining the army”.

When asked why he joined the military he said he wanted to jump out of airplanes and travel. Perhaps before anyone joins the military they should be obliged to watch a video of the real thing and and how people deal with civilian life after returning home.

He has accomplished more, and proven himself more in his short time here than you EVER will.

Don't worry about him Soc. He's just jealous because I've accomplished more during my morning piss than he has in the past 40 years.

Unless being an internet coward is an accomplishment now, then he'll have me beat.

Lol failed life? I want to know what standard he has set for 'failed' life.

Living in Detroit and a drunk.
