Maybe he was making the money to pay for your paycheck? How much profit did you create as a soldier? Someone needs to fund the military, yes? Or were you a "true" volunteer, serving your country without asking for any pay? Wait, you mean you accepted MONEY for your service? What are you, some kind of mercenary scum?!?! A TRUE patriot would have refused his paycheck as being unworthy of him. He would have served just for his duty to God and country!!! Thanks for proving the general adage that those most ready to engage in a d*ck-waving contest are usually those with the smallest "investments."

I haven't seen such a disgusting post in years, it was also as childish as they come, especially the part about GIs having the least invested in serving in the military.

If you had a point or an insult to make to that poster, you proved grossly incompetent at it.

Read his original post that I responded to, pal. First of all, he’s making a lot of assumptions about the folks posting here (as to who has or has not served). Second of all, if you needed a sarcasm tag, I’m sorry I didn’t post one, but I thought it would be obvious.

We could all narrowly define what we thought was and was not “patriotic” based on our own personal choices (if you haven’t run for political office you’re not a “true” patriot, etc.), but to do so is hypocritical. Moreover, actually read the thread. A poster asked what PT stood for (joking about the acronym usage) and got a nice demeaning reply (followed by attacks on other posters based on their lack of military service). If that’s the hill you want to die on...
