Fuck JD Vance

47. He's the best example I can think of

For why this blanket 'thank you for your service' bleating needs to stop.

When you say that, you have no idea whatsoever if the person is deserving of it. I'm a vet, and i can assure you that not every service member was worthy of the uniform. Every veteran will tell you that they've worked with just as many idiots and toxic personalities as they ever did in civilian life.

They're people, like anyone else. Some of them have jobs where they get shot at, and those people rate a bit higher, but, in most cases during the modern era, it's still only a job where the difference from what civilians do would be the weird rules we had to follow.

I've worked elsewhere in the federal government, and, honestly, I was prouder of that work, and the job was far more demanding, than what I did for the military. But I don't get any thanks at all for the fed job, other than a cheap certificate after retiring from it.
