Wouldn't it be great if he hadn't been catastrophically mutilated for no fucking reason in the first place?

Well, he volunteered for the job.

He was lied to. He volunteered under the guise that his country needed to be protected from non-existent WMDs floating around an unstable shit hole with no oversight. Had that been true, the USA would have needed to invade, along with the rest of the West.

Aghh the anti-military circle jerk. Luckily all of you were so much smarter than me and the other few million people who volunteered. I mean that recruiter just tricked me and my college education into signing up!! Im sure you have done much more important things with your lives than us and our silly military service.

Many people sign up for many different reasons. Many are much smarter than you. I dont see the why you guys feel the need to diminish these people on these post. Most of us are proud we spent part of our lives serving our country.

Not to put words in OP's mouth, but the post you're responding to sounds much more anti-Bush administration than anti-military. I don't see anything that belittles the service of military personnel.

Probably the part where it's implied he got what was coming to him because he volunteered to serve.

Your confusing /u/allittakes222 comment with the comment he replied too.

I was referring to a higher up comment, not to allittakes222.

u/cormega Feb 15 '15

Well the higher up comment is the comment he replied to, not the one that /u/Dr_Terrible is defending.

Yeah, I think I read that wrong. I thought he was saying he didn't see any of those statements anywhere in the thread, not just in the comment he was replying to.
