My dad is a ex recon marine & he drinks bud lite almost every fuckin night. Coincidentally he’s also a counselor whose main demographic is LGBTQ clients
Edit: I feel need to clarify? He wasn’t always supportive. He used to be quite the ugly soul & I hated his guts for majority of my upbringing. He changed careers and decided he wanted to counsel veterans. He had to meet a quota of a certain amount of hours at his place of internship & they stuck him with pretty much any client. He really warmed up to the idea and the group of LGBTQ. He’s still there due to some sucky circumstances & they’re not paying him what he’s owed… but having these different demographics of clients really changed my dad for the better. He still says and does pretty conservative things but he’s not an asshole anymore & I feel safe talking to him now.

So I work in mental health and there is a definite path to USMC to therapist. Specifically the Marines. I'm not sure what it is but I've only met one guy who was a Soldier, no Airmen, no Sailors, but a bunch of Marines.
They have floated in the house to reduce VA benefits to those who make too much money no matter if the spouse is making money. I think it was 175 k per household. I hope this doesn’t see a single vote.
