Sure, of course now I know this. As an 18 year old growing up in the represseive south where talk anout mental health would bring about harassment and more abuse? Ha. Good luck.

The point is that we have to realize that we all come from these fucked places. We’re all put in these paths because the system is shit. So sure, there are plenty of assholes like the op meme, but there are those of us raises hand that have come from trauma, lived through trauma, and continue to see trauma even without the added help of the military to juice the cPTSD.

At a certain point we should hold someone accountable for their actions, but an 18 year old who just wanted to escape? Let them lie man, not everyone is a murderous shitstain on the carpet.

My family gets kept in poverty by the system set in place.

I gave my body for a country that doesn’t care about anyone. I stated that. I made the case that post-service, I have free healthcare and others don’t. It sucks that this is the society we live in. We shouldn’t live in a fascist utopia like Starship Troopers where “Service means Citizenship.”

So sorry that you think you’ve got it so hard, while reaping the benefits of the society that we all hate and no one will give an ounce to fix.

You’re mass generalizing an entire community. It’s like the antithesis of the anarchist movement. You’re no worse than the people you hate.

You’re honestly terrible human if you think that taking any chance to escape abuse in such a way that protects someone from future harm, while having no knowledge of me or my service.

Because my example was post service, showing that I get special treatment in a society that is unjust when it should be just for everyone? Hoping for universal healthcare?

Dude why are you attacking me?

That’s not shooting and crying you dolt.

Thank you for stripping me of my humanity. You’re awesome. Have a great one and enjoy your privilege.

You’re privileged enough to not have had the only option left to escape abusive adoptive parents as an 18 year old be the military

Nah, not all of us are going to sell you a line of shit. There’s a reason that september 22nd is veteran suicide awareness day. It’s because when it was established 22 veteran’s were opting for suicide over living with either the things they did, or the injustice left in the system.

You think I want to be one of a few people with universal healthcare in the US? Do you know how much it sucks to watch people you love die, because they don’t have healthcare and you do, because you gave your body to a country that didn’t fucking care?

That’s acid etched homie, I’d clean it out with some barkeepers friend and then see if you can polish that haze for a cool two tone bowl
