I'm pretty ****ing sick of seeing old men walking around with hats saying they served on some military ship. I live in a navy town with the largest naval base on the planet, so this is fairly regular. They seem to think it should be their primary identifier as human beings.
1. You served on a ship. You didn't go up the beach on D-Day. You probably sat on your ass even if you were in a war, and in 2018 you probably weren't even in a war that was notable for the Navy. Why are you insisting on everyone knowing you were a veteran at all times unless you just want free recognition even if you were just a plumber for 99% of your life?
2. You served in a military whose prime function is to maintain an imperial force to subject the rest of the world to the will of the United States. You are not protecting my freedom. **** you.
3. The entire reason you probably served was because you wanted a free education. Congratulations, you got what you were promised for doing your job. Your job. Your ****ing job. Stop asking for free respect for sitting on a ship and getting free job experience for the degree that was the only reason you signed up in the first place.
4. If you signed up for patriotic reasons then you are stupid.
Seriously though you have no idea how many of these gomers I see every single day all day with the same ****ing hats that I'm sure they never wash.
