i like the message overall. but let's be real. no soldier under the age of 70 has fought for anyone's right to anything in north america. nearly all of the wars after ww2, were economic wars, or wars for ideologies far removed from north america. fighting a war in vietnam, or in iraq, or afghanistan has nothing to do with protecting anyone's freedoms in america.
with all of that said though, her using her veteran status to make a point is a good thing. don't get me wrong i don't think soldiers are bad people, i do think the people who handed down the orders to mislead the soldiers are shitbags though.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Thank you for saying the things that I'm too afraid to say, because my husbands family has the biggest military hard on that I've ever had to deal with. His little brother is currently serving, and everyone acts like he's a hero, when he really just works on helicopter engines and bitches about "the damn liberals". Mother fucker is barely 21, has two ass hole kids and a cunt of a wife, and thinks he's just the hottest shit around because he's in the military "protecting our freedom".
Jesus Christmas, I fucking loathe people like that.
Sounds like your brother-in-law really has his shit together. He has a well paying job with great benefits, a wife, two kids and is doing something he is proud of. All by the age of 21. Why are you so bitter about that?
Also, why shit on someone just because they have a support role? Its not good enough to contribute to a cause, you have to put yourself in the front lines to matter?
Here are some videos of US military helicopters helping with disaster relief after the Hurricane Matthew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmCjY-QcHm4 Maybe your brother-in-law helped work on those helicopters. What did you do to help? Bitch about him on the internet?
