Today when I got off duty I went to a local surplus store and a woman approaches me with her two sons who look about middle school age. She then ask me "Are you really in the military?", granted I am in full ABU's. I reply "Yes ma'am I am". This lady then informs me that she had to ask to make sure I was not an imposter and that she has encountered many before.
I have had my fair share of "thank you for your service" and "let me shake your hand son" but I have never had a lady ask if I was an imposter. I couldn't make sense of the encounter at first but then it sank in, there are people in this world that put on a United States Military uniform, spend months away from the ones they love, leave their world behind to keep this nation safe for a population they have never met. Theses men and women of all ages don't ask for the glory and praise that they deserve, most are humble and reply kindly to those who thank them but they do not seek it out. Then there is the scum and dirt that half ass put on a mix matched uniform and parade the street as imposters. Lying and spreading stories of false valor and bringing shame to the uniform. This bastard breed of people should not be allowed to breathe the same air as those who have put their life on the line for this nation. They should not be allowed to walk on the ground that has been paid for by the lives of the ones they imitate. If you do not, or have not served this nation, then do not disgrace the uniforms of our defenders.

until soldiers fight in a non-zionist war, people are gonna continue not giving a fuck about stolen valor faggots. they aren't our problemo. deal with them yourself, crybaby. you're essentially asking for other anons to invoke the welfare queen meme.

I see guys in military uniforms every weekend, whether it's over here or in Helsinki. I've never even seen anyone talk to them, I don't understand how people in the US can just go up to a stranger and start talking to them over some menial nonsense like the clothes they're wearing.
Blake Adams
What I hate is 80% of the people serving right now want their ass kissed and hate stolen valor even though they will not and have not seen combat. The bulk of their work is watch or paperwork. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

I agree. My wife's son joined the fight to further our country's capitalist globalist Jewish agenda and I can I am truly proud to have funded his upbringing from my cuck-shed in my wife's backyard.
Fortunately his father came from a hardier negro stock, so he is well built to call in drone strikes on Pakistani weddings.
God bless our troops

after basic training you generally get a choice unless you're pants-on-head retarded or excel in any field.

Stfu with your "stolen valor" nonsense and sit down GI joe.
John Harris
This is exactly why I hate most military faggots who parade around like they are worth half a shit when they don't know pain or loss at all. Stolen valor doesn't mean a damn if the military itself is full of politicizing shit heads and commanders who can't effectively command simple combat missions.
Ryan Price
This isnt 2007 anymore. Unless you join the Army you are not getting a choice. Even with a sky high ASVAB score. You will get to choose off a short list of bad jobs, and get kicked out of your DEP program if you dont choose one.

You get to choose whether to present yourself like john rambo landing under sniperfire in bosnia when all you did was file paperwork.
Look, a job is a job and you could very well do a aggod one, just don't be surprised when people look down on you for being prideful about an occupation which is often, on the whole, about as dangerous and useful as that done by the average cubicle drone.

I was in the Marines. I never met or heard of anyone in the service that was looking for a pat on the back. I'm sure they are a few out there, but 80% seems like an extreme exaggeration.
Most just want to do it or are in a position where it is an attractive alternative so they do it. I always wanted to be a Marine, so I did it.
I am more violent than the average person, enjoyed fist fights, very good in the woods, very good with a rifle, very athletic, and have a high tolerance for pain, so seemed like a good fit.
If anything I feel weird when people say thank you or make a big deal out of it. I don't know them and didn't join to help them. It's thanks I don't really deserve but it's nice to not be called a baby killer or spit on at airports.
Are there plenty of immature people in the military? Yes, without a doubt, I was one of them. I saw the military as kind of like a continuation of high school but with guns and danger.
I enjoyed my time in and enjoyed the friends I made. I signed the dotted line and fulfilled the commitment, that is all I ever expected.
The military is a great place for those that haven't quite figured out what they want to do. It motivated me to finish college with an Electrical Engineering degree and several years after graduation went back for an MBA, mostly paid for by my employer.
It may not be for everyone, but it still serves an obvious purpose and is still a good fit for some.

I had known vets before that told me all they did was move money and kill civilians, and I just took them for brain damaged conspiracy tards.
after that experience i don't know anymore. that thuggish nigger just laughed in that old guys face, he wasn't proud of anything. he probably did nothing to be proud of, I don't think any of you military fags have.

How old are you?
It was an article 15 to wear anything other than Alphas or Charlies off base when I was in. You could wear cammies if you didn't stop anywhere between the base and home.
Now I see all branches of the service wearing cammies everywhere. I get letting them wear them coming back from deployment, but around the base in town is just not how it was when I was in.

You're full of shit. The wait time for nuclear officer is 2+ years right now. The only way you'd be going into it is if you changed rates and are a Mustang, which is a slim to none chance of that or you're going in as enlisted and you're lying on a Mongolian horse posting board. I hope it's the second. If I see you in one of my classes I hope you were good at proofs in school because you'll be doing a lot of them.

Nope, just think unabomber looks odd. It was one guy and he was a bomber uni bomber seems like the right word.
Funny I didn't even remember that the press dubbed him unabomber. Leave it to the media to find a catchy name for a lead story.

I'm 20, navy fag though. Only time I wear uniform to do anything off base are my dress whites/blues when doing charity events that require them. Other than that I was in cammies once off base when grabbing some food for myself and coworkers. As far as I know Navy and Marines still follow this, but its not unusual to see soldiers and airmen around in their cammies.
