@LucasWitt15 I doubt that you get straight A's. You write like you never got out of tenth grade. Maybe you are still in high school (hope you learn something before you face the real world).

Gee...I wonder why there are so many dislikes? Oh that's right; it's because hippies and protesters can be some of the most smug and pretentious philosopher-wannabes ever.

@TheEagerMcBeaver What is smug about trying to warn people like you not to run off and kill someone (or be killed) in a senseless war. If we were smug or pretentious, we would just say "good riddance to you."

[TheEagerMcBeaver]

@fnogs Hipsters today have a fetish for using college tuition, brainwashing, poor grammar, and calling people who want to join, "sheeple," to argue their notions. When it all comes down to it, they pretty much have the same attitude: thinking that they're somehow more informed than others and that they truly know what's best for other people. You're right; it's not smug. It's condescending and annoying.

@TheEagerMcBeaver I am anything but a hipster. I am a retired vet who served in Korea. I would like to keep young people from being maimed (both physically and psychologically) in a series of foreign wars being fought to make a few rich people even richer. Your characterizations are just foolish.

The first thing they do in the military is take your rights away. Then in boot camp they brain wash you in to kill foreign or domestic. The first foot in the door to kill us citizen. Then lavish you with tax payers money like welfare with free this and free that. US politician are always taken a big ....shit....on the constitution then call on the brain washed military to protect them when true US citizens protest. Then trample some more on there rights that they swore an oath on to protect.

This was literally one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. I'll be joining up when I'm old enough, regardless of what hippies think.

Either invade and occupy the rest of the world or "erase" our military. There must be a few more choices than that.
