THE NIGHTMARES OMG UNARMED CIVILIANS HAVE BREACHED THE PERIMETER>I’ll need $4500 a month tax free, pls, I can’t work! I’m a 22 year old broken vet! When is this grift gonna end? It’s a common scheme among military entrants (namely blacks and women) to enter the military and get 100% disability. Not to mention, the ones who complain the most and go to sick call to skirt work, get more benefits than the people who suck it up.
part of the reason why boomers were so fucked up is because their parents, returning WW2 vets, suffered from severe mental trauma
>>64686650My WWII grandpa wasn't too fucked up and pretty chill overall but he was an alcoholic. By the time I was old enough to ask him about the war he couldn't speak because he wrecked his voice from liquour and cigarettes and would scribble notes on a pad. The worst things he recalled were coming across a Nazi concentration camp and his battalion getting rocked by German air attacks that resulted in deaths of people near him (he was in the anti-aircraft)https://youtu.be/CAYHD5mAsfo
>>64686650>part of the reason why boomers were so fucked up is because their parents, returning WW2 vets, suffered from severe mental traumaNah. Op is correct on the memes. Modern vet disability checks are prob 95%+ scam, and if you are a vet and not scamming for extra 5k a month for rest of your life, you are just retarded. It is what it is.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xJ-CKieicrcI literally know couple of guys from afghanistan who are the luckiest sob-s in the world, they just loved the action and shooting niggers and hanging out with dudes and making shitton of money.
>>64686629I feel like I have PTSD from watching so many ziggers getting drone'ed on a daily basis for 4 years straight. Like I legit get flashbacks when I'm at the grocery store looking at a piece of broccoli and sudden see tree zigger guy's inrails getting launched into that tree. I'll be watching a pleasant charismas fire in my living room then suddenly see the crew of a BTR stumbling out on fire, burning to death. I'll be cutting into a juicy thanksgiving turkey and suddenly see the guy with his chest blown open, heart still beating. Every time I see a mound of dirt all I can think about is that "Steady" drone footage of the trench filled with dead and dying mobniks. Every time i see a piece of sushi all I can think is meat cubes...Where's my fucking disability package?
>>64686629Fuck where the other 9 World wars?

>>64686744you are an honorary janny. you did it for free anon.
>>64686629>any shot is basically fatalI'm rewatching BoB rn and people get smoked big time all the time and rarely die
>>64686718I enjoyed my deployments, it was big money, good times with mates and I never shot at anyone that didn't absolutely deserve it.Only fuckups I have are dreams about being late for something or running out of water. I'm also not real keen on garbage on the roadside but that's passed now and I'll still do the once-around a car to make sure its good to go before we leave.
