  1. I'm a far from a Social Justice Warrior as it gets, but the way vets felt about keeping quiet about their feelings and what they went through is "toxic masculinity" at it's worst. People need to be able to open up about this shit. I can't imagine bottling up thoughts of killing families because there was a chance one might be an enemy. No wonder they snap. It's good that you can objectively look at why your dad was an asshole because it's not a black and white thing. You seem like you have a lot of compassion and that's wonderful. Sounds like dad had a great kid.

  2. He's still around and still featured in documentaries so I'm sure he does know.

  3. Amen. The last time America was truly threatened by a foreign power was when exactly...?

  4. News is the least fake now than it's ever been because it's easier to call people out on the bullshit. If news was legit fake, like the gulf of tonkin stuff, for sure America would've discovered WMD's in the 90's, and today it's even harder to fake stuff. We get told about shit that doesn't matter, and it's all editorial now, but that's a different thing than actual fake news.

  5. History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes - Mark Twain (apparently).

  6. No disrespect to your dad, but is that something to be proud of? Your pop admitted that he went and did what soldiers have to do simply because someone asked him to. Not sure that's something to be proud of. It's kinda fucked up when you think about it, that people will voluntarily go to the other side of the world and kill people for something they don't fully understand, not often even care about. That's different from a mercenary how?

  7. "Killing another Human being because someone told you to just isn't natural." The entire history of humanity begs to differ.

  8. Kit, I've seen videos about new medical procedures that save babies' lives get downvoted on YouTube. Don't put too much thought into it because if saving little babies can be downvoted, then anything can.

  9. You saw this and all you have to say is an insult to Trump? Forget PTSD, you have TDS.
