I’m employed, I only get 3 of those things.

But the catch is that I was in the army. And did a tour in Afghanistan. 100% disabled as well.

If I served my country and got all 5 of those things, why can't the USA make it universal?

No profit in that.

Cool, you served imperialism. Not the flex you think it is.

[–] Hellsfire29@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was making an example. Not a flex.

But I do have something you can flex, thou. Friendship.

Hopefully like my friend who served in the marines in afghanistan you came out leftist.

Your comment is kind.

I don't like our president any more than his predecessor. Nor the replacement. Our government failed us.

I served under Bush Jr, and then he extended our tour. So I've been mad at him ever since, along with his other decisions.

Did I come out leftist? I went in right leaning and came out more centrist.

To be honest.

Glad your friend came back alive. Afghanistan sucked.

It’s the truth. If you want “free” anything as an American you have to serve the imperial interests of the capitalists who own the US government and philander the rest of the world.
