Do you mean what do I have against the military and Vets? Nothing except for certain upper officer types including the last 2 CINCs who are worthless POS.

People who shop at Walmart do join the military, but they aren’t cannon fodder.

I mean no disrespect to all the people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their courage and dedication is not in question.

But the absolute uselessness of those extended conflicts reduced them to cannon fodder.

You disrespect all of America, all of the veterans, and all of the military when you label us cannon fodder, and say that we use our GIs as cannon fodder and fight as cannon fodder.

Trust me — it’ll never happen. Draft board members would have to fear for their lives in a scenario like that.
