>HEY GET THAT UNIFORM OFF WHAT UNIT DID YOU SERVE IN HUH? YOU DONT KNOW? ILL LET YOU KNOW I WAS A 5TH BRIDGADE US SPACE MARINE AND MY BROTHERS DIED FOR THAT POWER ARMOR!! STOLEN VALOR EVERYBODY GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THAT ARMOR NOW!
>>220834267People that complain about stolen valour is so fucking retarded
>>220834834I really thought we were going to leave the military behind
>>220834834They joined the army. What did you expect?
>>220834896chads join the army thoughnavy is for fags
The American military is a glorified welfare program.
>>220834834It's even more retarded to LARP as a veteran for attention
>>220835610It’s retarded that we are so worshipful of the troops that there would even be an incentive to seek it out fraudulently. Even my dad, who is a legit serviceman but just a chair force tech who never saw combat, once got mobbed and fawned over by a family of trailer trash at a restaurant because he showed up in uniform.
>>220835610Isn't sometimes just a guy wearing random camo clothing tho.I agree that the idea of larping as a veteran being retarded, but the culture of dudes making their life mission uncover stolen valour dudes also being retarded
>>220834267TrueI fucking hate it when some retard besmirches my glorious space marine corps. We nuked those skinnies through our blood sweat and tears for the whole of humanity and some tech barbarian foreigner is gonna criticize us? Why dont YOU GUYS put your space forces on the line then?
>>220835610I think it is based to do that, but let us agree to disagree
>>220834267isnt being a soldier just a profession?its not like they defend the country anyway the fight for the governments interesti would respect the people defending my country during war but if their only achievement is to serve the governments economic interest in foreign countries i wouldnt
>>220835797>disrespecting our military js based actually Just for that Sven? We're taking away all of your Somali immigrants. Now you have to fuck all your women yourselves
>>220835824>is to serve the governments economic interest in foreign countries i wouldntTechnically our national economic interests and ability for high intensity organized violence are part of our interests as well. I like being an imperial power who can send a bunch of psychopathic jocks to train militias to overthrow your country on a whim and smart bomb your leaders if you did something like mass murder a bunch of Americans as a national policy. Can you imagine if some 3rd world nation made it a national policy to kill every american in its borders? If they did that we would rape their entire nation like genghis khan. If someone did the same to Germans you guys would probably just be like >we dont do that in Germany and maybe we'll sanction you idk
>>220834267>Old boomer does a spot of larping>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HECKIN DO THAT IT'S STOLEN VALOUR
>>220835963>like mass murder a bunch of Americans as a national policy.but no one would make mass murder of germans their national policy because we dont invade other countries anymore >I like being an imperial power who can send a bunch of psychopathic jocks to train militias to overthrow your country on a whimdoesnt seem to work all the time and when it doesnt you get tangled up in a decade long guerilla war
>>220835824We're supposed to respect our fellow citizens.
>>220836102>no one would make mass murder of germansNormalcy bias. Also youre the 2nd largest foreign supporter of Israel besides us and currently funding NATO which is in a proxy war through the Russo Ukraine conflict and a lot of people to be frank just hate any Europeans. Difference is, if someone did it to us we could kill their entire family and if they did it to you you'd just have to roll over and take it like a good little femboy which to be fair is kinky and right up your alley im sure. >doesnt seem to work all the timeNot always no. We did get Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi and just kidnapped Maduro thoughbiet. Boy did Afghanistan go wrong though, also probably shouldn't have stuck around in Iraq for so long trying to americanize a completely foreign culture.
>>220835610Whats worse are those who are vets by technicality but aren't even combat veterans by any degree but still larp as vets.I know a giga sperg who is in the national guard and calls himself a vet because once a month he plays army. That is actual larp.
>>220836001They sent the fucking police after him? I mean stolen valour is shit, but
>>220836176>take it like a good little femboy which to be fair is kinky and right up your alley im sure.youre weird if someone for some reason did start genociding germans in their country our state would do anything thats nessecary to protect them and get them out of the country but also ask its allies to support us in our endevour + the international problems the country would get would deter anyone from doing it in the first place
>>220836284seethe more, I get my disability payments and free food on veteran's day all the same
>>220836343>youre weird Not as weird as some of the shit ive seen around Berlin. >our state would do anything thats nessecary to protect them and get them out of the countryWhich would be...?>but also ask its allies to support us in our endevourAnd that is what you would be forced to do. You are not an empire that can project itself across the world, what you would do is ask us in specific to do something about it because we actually are an empire than can project itself across the world. Thats why we have so many allies and are involved in so many conflicts that are amoral and dont seem to serve an immediate interest to our domestic situation. Its in service to empire which gives us the ability to project power. >the international problems the country would get would deter anyone from doing it in the first placePeople are not that rational that deterence is enough to not commit acts of mass murder and war, again, that is a normalcy bias.
>>220836313In this case there was even talk of bringing in some sort of law explicitly to punish people who do it
>>220836284National guard is pushing it for sure, but traditionally every serviceman gets to be called a vet. It's only special forces guys who whine about that stuff because they're entitled divas who can't bear to see anyone else get respect for anything.
>>220836284Eh my friend is in the national guard and id call him a vet since hes been bombed and shot at several times while deployed in the middle east. He was in that base in Qatar when Iran bombed it after the assassination of Solemani
>>220836473>Which would be...?obviously first diplomatic and economic pressure and later military intervention >And that is what you would be forced to do. You are not an empire that can project itself across the world, what you would do is ask us in specific to do something about it because we actually are an empire than can project itself across the world.but you can only do that because when you are cooperating with your allies and you are worsening your relationship with said allies everyday. you can literally see how weak your ability to project power without allies is in the current iran war
>>220834267This is the exact same way Europeans behave with “muh heritage” Americans
Why is everyone ignoring the obvious reason why stolen valour happens? These people try to scam benefits.
>>220836586>obviously first diplomatic and economic pressureYour response to the ethnic cleansing of your citizens is economic pressure and diplomacy? Lmao. You're also incapable in your current state to have any sort of military response though you guys are trying to improve on that which I can respect. >you can only do that because when you are cooperating with your alliesYes, because we operate under spheres of influence and have an international system of military bases and supply chains we can rely. You know, like an empire. >can literally see how weak your ability to project power without allies is in the current iran warWe have the GCC and Israel and thus far we assassinated the Ayatollah and took out 90% of Iran's navy. Just because Europeans aren't assisting us really doesnt matter much since we've gotten you guys to commit so much to Ukraine which was also an imperial project of ours though im sure most of you have no clue. Also keep in mind we singlehandedly kidnapped Maduro recently with just our special forces like Delta and the Nightstalkers with navy and airforce support. Nah we're definitely still an empire that is very able to project power across the world.
>>220835830It is actually
>>220836747You're just a chud
>>220836961
>>220836981Let me guess, your parents let the doctor mutilate you?
>>220836667At that point it’s not even stolen valor. You don’t want the valor you just want the free meds.
>>220837192Yes and I use my mutilated dick to breed brazillian women. I have AIDS now, rip
Europeans are too bourgeois and domesticated to understand the military culture should be gatekept.
>>220835824Yes but it’s an important profession and should be socially recognized as such. There has never been a healthy or admirable civilization where the military wasn’t revered and a route to the upper social class.
>>220837365A lot of European countries still have conscription so military service doesn’t have the culture of exclusivity that has built up over here in the last half century.
>>220834834Zogbots enjoy certain privileges in american society.
>>220836001>biggest recent British military scandal: stolen valor>biggest recent Canadian military scandal:
>>220837365>gatekeptTo what? niggers, trailer trash and call of duty recruits? European military culture is aristocracy, not recruiters setting up booths in middle schools
>>220837460>European military culture is aristocracyConscription isnt really aristocratic my dude nor is the rest of Europe
I fucking hate americans. Something about the Iran war makes it different from all the other war the US was in. I just can't stop seething about Americans everytime I am reminded of their politics now. Never in my life have I so firmly believe countries to be inherently evil as the United States and Israel.
>>220838082UK politics 100 years ago were worse than this.
>>220834267We don't do that in Malaysia. Due to the Malayan Emergency, a law was enacted (but never cancelled) that made it illegal for civvies to wear any military camo. The reasoning is, if you're not in the army but wear camo, you're a commie guerilla and will get shot. Another law from the era is owning unlincensed guns can get you the death penalty for the same reasoning.
>>220838082>Something about the Iran war makes it different from all the other war the US was inIts really not. We are allying with our crazy theocratic middle eastern allies against other crazy theocratic middle eastern nations to expand our sphere influence which we've been doing for awhile. We were already engaged in a proxy war with them with Saudi Arabia in Yemen's civil war that pretty much nobody gave a shit about and it was also a huge reason we started supporting the FSA and Kurds in Syria. We've essentially been "at war" with Iran for a long time people just dont really understand the nature of modern warfare.
