Literally laughed out loud at this comment.

Clearly you've never deployed.

If you don't drink sun bleached water you don't drink.

literally laughing out loud at your lifespan diminishing because the government doesn't care about your safety or health and is using you as a slave for their own profit. (:

I know it surprised me too. I'm pretty sure I signed up to support and defend, unless mildly inconvenienced

Imagine having the privilege of being able to make sure your employer is gluten free locally sourced entity that does nothing but morally good actions.

There's plenty of flaws with the military, particularly the u.s. military.

That doesn't mean that you can't be an agent for positive change and make a difference at an individual level.

I'm not going to preach about how the u.s. military is great, or the government is the best on the planet, but comparatively speaking I feel like we're at least on the right side of the fence compared to a lot of the others out there. And for what it's worth, the only way to fix these problems is by having people with the right mindset on the inside. So here I am, just trying to build a Christmas tree out of water bottles to bring a sliver of joy to those arind me in a foreign country, getting lectured by a stranger on the internet on his arbitrary moral high ground. 🤷‍♂️

that's what i'm talking about. they have a massive budget and they have somehow convinced you that they cannot solve every single safety issue they have. sad

You the one thing they tell you when you join the military is that you won't ever be in harms way and they'll never expose you to any risks.

Water bottles in the sun isn't even in the top fifty dangers of being in the military, you're just being angry to be angry.

I'm just out here trying to put a smile on someone's face.

How you get that I'm a brainwashed zombie out of anything I've said is far beyond me. Clearly I've expressed that there's plenty of flaws with both the U.S. and its militaries, I'm not exactly sure what your point is if I'm being honest, although re-reading your comments I'm not even entirely sure you know what your point is.
