The military is just about one of the only governmental institutions I still trust.

I don’t even trust law enforcement, too much corruption anymore.

This is the result of 60 years of slander against servicemen.

Huh? Are you sure that’s aimed at me? I was in the Army, my father was a career Marine (World War II, Korea and Vietnam) and my grandfather was in World War I. I won’t even go into the Civil War.

I was in the military for 20 years.

I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s a lynch mob forming above you.

"I don’t trust anyone who was in the military."

That's no surprise. Neither do the local police, teachers, regulators, politicians, government-linked business folks, government pensioners and defense contractor pensioners in my Republican majority County (like Democrat majority counties--all sides socialist and un-American).

In contemporary politics and business, we see the bad and ugly. There's no good, and there are no real conservatives.

But I know that I did something good and that doing good does matter.

I have no respect for the disrespectful regardless of their income brackets or positions. Don't tell me to move. Get out of my country.

RE:”It saddens me to hear that. The best people I know are former military. They are hard working, patriotic, conservative Americans. It’s a shame you don’t know anyone like that”

????

I personally will vouch for 2DV.

He is one of the best posters here,

I trust the military. I do not trust the post turtle in chief or political hacks willing to “earn” another star by promoting homosexuals/transgenders in the miltary, women in combat/special forces, and designating Republican states as hostile in military training exercises against civilians like Jade Helm 15.

The current leadership is trying to destroy the military from within, hurting morale in the ranks, while creating distrust among civilians.

Actually, lots of people around here have a dislike of the current military. On a recent thread about Jade Helm a bunch compared our current troops to the SS and SA. Convinced the troops have been purged and all are gay or Obamaites. Sickening.
