  1. So you're mad at the army because of something YOU said? Take responsibility bro

  2. @markkelly9621  The point is he's responsible for his actions. The military is in many ways its own society, has its own culture. They are not judjed by the same norms as you or i with some obvious exceptions. There is a code of conduct that has to be adhered to whether he likes it or not. I don't know his rank at the time, but it may have been the case it was not his place to say sth like that. God knows the context in which he said it, which btw he conveniently left out just so that he could play the victim in his narrative Now he bears a grudge against an organization that helped him grow in his career and as a person. All because of his lack of accountability

  4. @heofonfyr6000  😳 OK sooo.... i know even where to start 😂😂 You did bring me up without having the decency to address me so I'll just respond to try and put a bow on this this topic btw you and I once and for all. You can continue to avoid me if you wish Let's start here. First, you've confirmed that given what you wrote it wasn't unreasonable to assume that you were bitter. And this super long rant you gave is yet another indication of bitterness, but then you go on to claim that "you're not that type of guy". Well, from here it kinda seems like you really are "that type of guy". I mean for you to type this long ass thing, it suggests that it's still bothers you no? So how am I clown again? Now, I don't know how true your first story is, but it's pretty obvious to me that it wasn't just that issue that made you leave. There were whole lot of other things that were going on that you didn't agree with and upset you, and those things seem to be of a social political nature. To be totally honest with you, some of those things I agree with and sympathize with you on, and on the other hand some of those other things you mentioned are pretty dumb to be upset about. That's just my opinion The army was 16 years of your life. That's a long time you dedicated to the service, and if I was British I would still thank you for your service regardless of you obvious political leanings. To me as a person, that's not relevant. However, I also feel like you should be able to show some grace regardless of how you feel and the supposed bad experience you had. If what you said was true as it relate to the comment you made about the knife-wielding individual slitting throats, then in some ways it was wrong what happened to you you should never have been demoted for that or threatened with the demotion. But that's life. It can be pretty sh*tty sometimes and here in the States I know and have many family members in the Armed Forces. If you hear some of the stories from the men and women who served in this country you'll even wanna cry given how they were treated during or after their service. I can tell you that they had it much worse than you. They actually have a real reason to be bitter What I'll say is if you really are okay with it, if you say that you really are fulfilled, then you got to let it go and put it behind you instead of coming onto a YouTube comment section and using this as opportunity to bash organization that dedicated a lot of time and resources to teach you the skills and knowledge base to do what you needed to do. It s bad look. At the end of the day they may have taken over wrong turn, but you're still a patriot right? You still love your country right? well the people you feel wronged you also love their country, otherwise they wouldn't serve. Call them anti English or anti British all you like. I guarantee they dont feel that way Remember that your country comes first, not your politics

  5. You all act so entitled. That's your problem. How can you all be mad at the world because you're not getting what YOU want? And then to make it worse, you fill your head with anti sjw rhetoric to make yourself the victim. Smh

  6. @BoyFromBlokM  so he took accountability when he said it's "fast becoming a joke?" That doesn't smack of someone who's bitter to you? And what makes you think they didn't share the same morals? Like I said, we don't know the context of when he said what he said, but I'm sure there's a reason he deliberately left that part out. There's a time and place to say things. Sometimes it's not your place. He should accept his mistake instead of using this as an opportunity to trash the organization just because he's mad they held him accountable

  7. @BoyFromBlokM  The fact that he may have spoken out of turn literally is the point. There was no reason for him to make that inference in the first place. We don't know why they wanted to demote him. We only have his narrative. As I said, he purposefully left out a lot of context intentionally to suit his narrative and justify his bitterness That by definition isn't taking responsibility. If you don't understand that then there's no point arguing about it. And worse, he's using this issue as an opportunity to bash the army So how is "leaving" taking responsibility? In what world does that make sense?

  8. @nicolasandresmartinez-cond126  it was not his place to question the standard. If he wants to have the freedom to do that then leave the army with grace and don't speak on it. Yet here he is bitching abt how they treated him. A total lack of accountability that you're here justifying it God help us

  9.  @nicolasandresmartinez-cond126  he's using his grievance to question the standard. He making it about him over some dumb sh*t HE did and can't take responsibility for
