I'm the son of an Air Force vet. I wanted to follow him, but he was very much against me doing it.

@nvanprooyen thank you very much for your service and answering the poll. Is it typical for military veterans to be so reluctant to reveal which branch they served in?

I would just like to remind my fellow veterans that @Grimson stated he wasn't in the military because "he got a real job."

This is the respect he has for you. ?

I don't understand why you're so reluctant to say which branch you served in, other than you lying to us.

Because, predictably, you guys are being disingenuous and do not give a flying eff about my service. The discussion is going EXACTLY how I knew it would go. And it pertains to Ukraine exactly ZERO.

This isn't the Ukraine thread FYI. This is a thread to thank the servicemen/women of CCS. A fraternity that you are not a part of.

That's fine. I'm not apart of it. Back to Ukraine?

I haven't ran into many people who won't. To each their own though I guess.

I mean, you're the one who casually dropped "I'm a veteran" into the argument to help bolster your point (or something?). So you're the one who opened the door...

Because unlike here, it would be taken at face value and shown a little decency.

BTW, your "fake internet friend" @Grimson thinks your Air Force service wasn't a real job.

Yeah. Countering the point that I shouldn't care about who we arm or who we're at war with because..."its already priced into the defense spending." Although I'm pretty sure it's a special budget outside of that.

Funny story: back in the day US Bank mailed me my new card and didn’t let me pick the style. So they chose for me a really patriotic card that had like soldiers and an American flag. Okay no big deal. Until I start using it and every single store asks if I’m a veteran and want a discount.

This one lady at Lowes almost made me take the discount and thought I was lying to her about not serving.

Anyways thanks ccs vets

Thank you to all whomst actually served and FY to anyone that lies about their service!

@truthbedamned
@Wild_x_Card
@SERE Bear
@Bigfoot
@nvanprooyen
@Monster
@fatbeard

And a special thank you to @Black Rainbow for lying about his service. Interesting to know which poll option he chooses.
I have never served and would never ever think about considering lying about service that I didn't acturally serve but I am going to be enlisting inside of the National Guard to defend our country from within its own boarders and serve our fellow citizens in that capacity because when disaster has struck in my past I remember a guardsmen securing my neighborhood and making everything much more safe than what the police could do so I want to literally give back like those guys did as a bonus maybe perhaps i can be taught how to fly a helicopter if the Natty G will let me!
