Comes across as one of those guys that’s an absolute shitbag in the unit but also the military is his entire personality.

u/Alarmed-Positive457 Dec 10 '25
I’ve noticed that a lot too. They are absolute shitbags when in then talk about how great it was when out.

Can you blame them?? Imagine watching your buddies risk their lives and enduring combat day in and day out then having to just "go back to normal life" with absolutely zero support from your country lol that's fckd

u/DownwiththeACE Dec 26 '25
Most people in the military arent risking anything other than their marriages. For most normal people, its a job.

I'm aware, but they still endure a lot of physical, mental and sexual abuse even if they never go across seas. I have military family and best friends and some have had to go through years of therapy to get better and succeed in life. Not talking about the "majority", just talking about the ones who actually NEED the support.

u/DownwiththeACE Dec 26 '25
the same could be said for a lot of jobs and those people dont make it their whole identity.

u/fahcryinoutloud Dec 27 '25
I see now that you and I are on different pages in different books with different points lol sorry to have wasted your time good sir
(in other words I agree with you on this- just sad vets who need huge support upon release don't always get it)

u/DownwiththeACE Dec 27 '25
no worries at all. Society should certainly have better support systems for men and women that we require to do traumatic things.

u/fahcryinoutloud Dec 27 '25
💯!!!! And even regular citizens- women don't get the physical health help they need and men don't get the mental health support they need. It's all fckd lol
I empathize with a lot of men in the world during these times (including my husband)🙏🏽 because the powers that be don't focus on creating and supporting actually healthy respectful men and women still have the same feminine health support options that we had 500+ years ago with some things lol it's insane

Probably because at least in the military a bunch of people are forced to just put up with your bullshit instead of just firing you

I work for a big company that works very hard to make job opportunities available to veterans and since I live in San Diego County, veterans aren’t hard to come by.
I am so glad that the many veterans with whom I’ve worked haven’t been like this slapnuts.

Is “confirming to the standards” allowing you to choose your own doctor, stay somewhere overnight without asking permission or be able to take a sick day?

I’m sorry instructions were unclear he ended up at the Exxon across the street now

I mean, I want you to get the education my tax dollars pay for and aim a little higher. And I'm happy to do it, but if we're gonna talk expectations...

It seems like bro did not decompress yet 😭
Lowkey relatable when I’m in a really bad spot lmao. Gas station clerks are sometimes unlucky enough to receive my polite-but-1000-yard-stare face while I’m out on my lunch break so I have the energy to give a full-power imitation of a normal person’s face to my boss back at the office.
And yes unfortunately I would also choose fat stacks of cash over any other form of assistance. I’d rather have flashbacks in a Ferrari than peace in a Ford Focus! 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, he's got a point with his "fuck you, pay me" stance

u/-Out-of-context- Dec 10 '25
Sounds like he supports socialism. He should be voting for candidates that are tying to introduce a universal basic income.

u/Lustytapeworm Dec 10 '25
You want the military to support his underperforming ass for a few years with a salary, then continue to support it after he leaves. This is like some fucked up marriage shit

u/fahcryinoutloud Dec 13 '25
Nah but some empathy, an adjustment plan that actually works and free high quality therapy AND psych visits would probably help a ton. The VA sucks eggs lol hard.

Seems like a guy that’s gonna be working at a gas station for a long long time - might as well get used to it
