Hot take: Let’s expand the definition of ‘veteran’ to include social justice warriors
Twitchy ^ | September 29, 2018 | Brett T.

he found himself behind a military veteran at the veterinarian’s office and noted how the veteran was given a discount because of his service to the nation.

That got Blumenfeld thinking about the word “veteran” and how it’s unfortunately tied to the military and nasty military things like wars. Isn’t it time to expand the definition of veteran to include those who advocate for change through peace?

When Civil War II breaks out they can call themselves “veterans” while they cower behind street barricades as we real Veterans shoot them down like the dogs that they are. Might cut off a few of their ears off too.

Hot take: How 'bout lets expand 'U.S. Citizenship' to mean any able bodied person over 18 who has successfully completed 24 honorable months of military service with at least one confirmed kill?

Social Justice Warriors apply at the back of the line.

He may need more than his academic bowel unpacked.

“Do libtards have a think tank somewhere to come up with this bull $***?”

I’m pretty sure they do. Back in 1979 when I graduated from college, I was approached by a group known for high IQ membership.
I took their qualification test and they were delighted to extend membership to me.
On my second day with this ridiculous think tank group, they decided they wanted to protest ROTC on campus and invited me. I quit their organization the same day and have never regretted my decision.
I’m a veteran, a fact they overlooked.

I think I’d be okay with classifying “social justice warriors” as veterans if we were allowed to shoot at them.

So now the word “unpacking” has a new meaning. Is this another example of Marxist corruption of the language?

By the way, I believe that they do. Being deep thinkers and all that.

This is perfectly in line with who they are.

They loathe themselves. They hate the military.

Of course they want to classify themselves into something they hate even more.

Well, if the war comes, they are going to find out how well their veterans perform.
