The people who need to hear this don't give a shit about what this guy has to say. Trying to reach them and have a dialog with them is just a waste of energy.

USAF veteran. Same here brother. I've felt alot of things about my service, but this is the first time I've ever been disgusted that I wasted 6 years of my life upholding this shit-bag of a country!
MendoncycleSmith
I didn't think she was the right choice, but I voted for her anyway because I was more interested in preserving America, than in expressing my personal feelings on how fucked up the leadership of the DNC is. I'm sorry man, I tried, I really did. And thank you for your service.

Combat veteran with a service connected disability. They tried taking away our benefits during Orange Hitler’s last term. Not surprising they’d try again. I regret having ever served too.

Republicans are a plague inflicted on the American people!
johnvictor
A lot of them still don't believe this will happen because they don't think anyone in power would have the audacity to do so. They don't realize when Trump talks about harming people, he's being truthful.
notsurewhattocallthis
"He says what he means" people say that he doesn't mean what he said....
WhyDoThis
Its funny because they tried once already and the Dems protected the vets. Now that protection is gone. I'm sure they will somehow keep blaming the Dems though.

They're constant victims, it's someone ELSE'S fault, not theirs ever.

The "plan" for healthcare is to let it fail, and get taken over by the "free" market. Insuring a steady labor market for the big boys.
Cheap old labor that HAS to work to survive is the goal.

As a German, we tried to warn you. Loudly....
Im sorry to hear your situation and wish you strength.

WE tried to warn us. They don't care. We were ignored. Now we will all pay the price for their ignorance, their selfishness, their stupidity and greed.
Boeserbob
Unfortunately our political landscape looks similarly bleak at the moment... lets just hope the education on our past prevents us from falling into the same delusion that got us BREXIT and Trump 2.0
MmmmmSoup
Their egos are so massive that they think us non Americans warning them were jealous and lying
BlackHoleSon01
50 years of republicans underfunding education has created a surplus of stupidity in this country. We got so much that we just elected the sultan of stupid to be our leader
BavarianGuy
Lead paint did the rest, I have read a study that lead paint lowerd the average IQ in regions with widespread usage by around 3 points.
BlackHoleSon01
I live in an area where lead was once mined. There's so much of it on the surface because of mining and refining contamination. Not coincidentally, the level of shit-for-brains-stupid in those areas is off the charts. Needless to say, they're all Trump voters.
sunnytater1
And the thing is, it's 100~ later and information is meant to be more prevalent now, theoretically being able to avoid this type of thing by learning global history.
Unfortunately, it's a Brave New World...
xFlenserx
Actually it's kinda Brave New World/1984.... Christofascists in control and ruling by fear while people are lulled into not caring/apathy through entertainment.... tv, games, internet, phones.... it's like those books were plans and they used both to cover all the bases
sunnytater1
It's not 1984 though, that was lack of information. Brave New World is what we're talking about.

As a vet in hiding I resigned in to say.. I'm with this guy.
MrHorseManBaby
I think Kamala ran a near-perfect campaign with the time and resources she had available. Biden thought he'd just waltz into a second term, until it was clear to the public that he shouldn't. Biden's dithering on whether to drop out cost us a real primary as well as the precious time Kamala needed to get her message out. Democrats also failed to calm frazzled nerves regarding the economy. People paying attention know it's doing great, but that it not the perception the rest of the public has.

Magats will mark him a "traitor". That's what fascists do when objected... all traitors and terrorists.

It makes no fucking sense to me, as a non-American, how the people who shout the loudest claiming to be patriots are costing up to bloody Russia of all countries. Germany the same thing is happening with the AFD. When did it go from being patriotic to hate the Russkies to loving Putin? It makes absolutely no sense.
Aelonwy
When the Republican party began demonizing Americans in the opposing political party (for purposes of power & greed) that made everyone else shift to better/purer/more virtuous than Democrats - sorry some call us Demoncrats. Religious propaganda. Then add Russians helping the Republicans gain power & they are going to "scratch each other's backs" in every way apparently. The sad part is a lot of Ds are Christians and/or behave with more Christian virtues than the Rs but Rs don't actually...
Aelonwy
value Christian virtues, they value power, wealth, celebrity, control over others, zero consequences for their actions.
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
It does make sense when you consider that most of the right wing social media is full of russian trolls. Russian trolls reach 140 million US citizens every day. (Source Imgur post about the study of said matter)
jukkatammi
Its a russian propaganda plan thats been going on 20 years. They can't win USA or Europe in other ways than infowars. Polarisation is crowing in every country and its all Russians causing it.
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
40+ years, but boosted very much by birth of social media.
neuronicle
In the US it's some vague "against liberal elites" notion, right wing propaganda successfully scapegoated them for 30 years of "trickle down" failure (caused by the right wingers). Quite similar to the late 20s/early 30s in post-WWI Germany/Weimar Republic when the NSDAP successfully blamed elites and jews for "normal" citizens hardship...
B166ERMaximus
And then nothing changed (for the better) because republicans don’t care. They have the president, the senate, the house and SCOTUS… this dude and his wife are just the tip of the iceberg.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
And many veterans will keep supporting them, because they hate the idea of losing their healthcare less than the idea of someone using the wrong bathroom.
KidCharlemagne524
The Republicans will control the entire government, fuck things up, and STILL blame the Democrats. And their voters will believe them, and vote red even harder. And so the cycle of shit will continue.
ShrokNil
I mean eventually there's nothing left to loot.
shehdbeuebw738373
No, I expect blue to win in 2, and 4 years.
People are dumb. "stuff expensive! Boo!! Change vote!!"
Unless things materially get better for millions of swing voters, they will switch again.
Just a matter of how bad he fucks shit up before then.
KidCharlemagne524
People are dumb, and hateful. As soon as Trump declares that it's all the Democrats' fault, theyll be eager to believe it. Or immigrants. Or the LGTBQ community. Or the so-called "deep state." If things go bad, and they likely will, they'll just find another scapegoat.
shehdbeuebw738373
Idk, why didn't they fall for it in 2020 then? Or hell, 2018 for that matter?
YouThinkImEspeciallyNotAGenius
Fucked up and I feel horrible for this guy and any Vets or people at all that are about to be fucked. A million reasons why we lost but honestly the biggest duo of reasons is people no longer believe the news(Trump’s a felon etc etc), and they don’t understand that economy does not mean the price of eggs.
SquaresUnfiltered
Well, I do appreciate your support if that means anything
BavarianGuy
And they even lied about the price of eggs and nobody said, wait a minute, thats not what eggs cost at the piggly wiggly.
SquaresUnfiltered
The day of the election a big box of eggs at Walmart was just a little over $10. The day after election there are 14 something
BavarianGuy
What is a big box?
First Light Egg Farms Large AA Eggs, 30 Count is $3.48

60 eggs from Walmart when I originally posted the comment was 15.73 up from 10.43 . As of typing this comment they are 17.17.
Do not go off of the image shown in google, go to the actual websites. The price is not reflected correctly.

He's correct and as a veteran, I agree 100%. This country used us and a once great nation will never be what it once was no matter what the current "patriots" say. I'm just trying to survive now and keeping my head down in the hopes that the country survives long enough for me to die peacefully and not in a civil war. If anything gets to the nuclear stage, thankfully, I and my wife will never even see it, because we live in a "target rich environment". IOW, we're toast...

Dude, I've lived on or near military bases ever since I joined Uncle Sam's green machine in 1972. Currently live in the PNW right between air bases, army forts, naval installations including sub pens. Yeah if the balloon goes up, we're toast! In a way, we're gonna be better off than the survivors. Bleak outlook, I know, but that's the plain truth...
AngryRaven
We really need to let go of this "once great nation" myth. We were never a "great nation", we've always been an exploitative colonizer nation. The sooner we let that myth go, the sooner we start healing as a nation and the sooner we can start building to a place where that myth may eventually come true.
BehGehBeeeehh
THANK YOU. America was never great. Powerful, yes. NOT great. The English colonizers committed multiple simultaneous genocide against the indigenous people and the enslaved Africans, and let’s not forget the Chinese that were abused and exploited in building the transcontinental railroad. American history is an abattoir of horrors. Until that is truly reckoned with, this country will never be anything but an embarrassment to humanity.
HappyMirror
But by doing so you are taking away many people's right to treat others like dirt.
JustplainGross
Honestly, that's what it really boils down to, there's a whole group of people mad cause they were asked not to be assholes outside of their house. They can hate who they hate, you'll never change that but Allah forbid you can't call Jimmy at work a fag cause he married a man
Goldensands
The only surprising thing is that the above video is the first of its kind that I've seen. The american military industrial complex has always been a deeply fkd up, unethical institution that deliberately sought out and abused the young, vulnerable and gullible. Yet somehow despite decades of such behaviour the indoctrination of americans have been so effective that it is extremely rare to hear them receive any criticism (in general and in particular as an institution).
Onebigcanuck
It's because a ton of Vets didn't understand the reality. When I talked to them, the answer is always the same. "They can't take that away, that would be illegal." Dense a-holes don't get they have control of the mechanism to determine what is legal and constitutional.
Goldensands
Soldiers aren't chosen for intelligence and the education they receive is not focused on critical, individual thinking either. They aren't just dense a-holes, they are as they were designed to be.
Onebigcanuck
Having been a soldier myself, I would massively disagree with how you just characterized them. What sets the US military apart from other countries is the ability to think critically and make decisions at levels far lower than our neer peers. The problem is that, soldiers are a group of people that have faith in institutions. Esprit de corps is what is trained into us. But what is coming is going to break those institutions and most people can't fathom that.
Goldensands
american soldiers are an indoctrinated cult made up of the poor and unfortunate. Taught to self aggrandise with the best of them and to be as nationalistic as any natzi. You mistake "institutions" for that nationalism, which is by design. Also evideny by americas inherent lack and cultural adversion to institutions. It's not a surprise you disagree with that when you've been a victim of it, but all you've ever served is a toxic, nationalistic culture and it's oligarchy.
Goldensands
Well I can only hope you have or will have the strength of character to come to terms with the reality of america and american military. Goodluck in 2025.
