what about those who wash out of basic? isnt there something else they might be able to do?
:shrug:
From that kind of point of view I'm not sure if it'd be accurate to suppose that they don't deserve it, or that they didn't really want it in the first place. All I know is many vets and others would say that the way to deserve the same benefits as a vet currently gets is to go through the same hell the vet did as the vet earned it and you can too~! :downs:


You know, instead of making sure everyone gets those benefits and vets get extra special treatment (Which in today's world they barely get any treatment at all.)

Thing that people always get wrong re: imperialism/leftists/authoritarians:

Imperialist genocide is always worse than auto-genocide. Leftists decry imperial murder because it is really hosed up. Also, as Chomsky said, as US citizens we should be primarily concerned with what our own terrible government is doing.

Night raids where we use robot death machines to kill innocent people are so much worse than Assad torturing political opponents in his prisons (oh yeah we do that too).

Hill Folk repeat Trump supporter proganda

http://observer.com/2017/07/republican-party-smear-campaign-bernie-sanders/

quote:

Several media outlets have run with the story that the FBI is investigating the role of Sanders’ wife, Jane, in regards to bank loans Burlington College received while she was the dean. Bernie Sanders was implicated in a smear campaign that claimed he used his political office to pressure the bank to sign off on the loan, though there is no evidence to corroborate this claim, and the investigation was incited by Trump’s campaign manager in Vermont, Brady Toesning. A recent report revealed the claim was predicated solely on hearsay from Republican State Rep. Don Turner. Despite this revelation, the investigation has dominated coverage of Sanders for the past few weeks, especially since Politico reported that Jane Sanders “lawyered up.” Disgruntled Clinton supporters have joined Republicans in perpetuating the smear campaign. Clearly, his political opponents are grasping at straws.

Toesning has filed frivolous complaints against Sanders before, and his consulting firm has a reputation for mud slinging. Part of his accusation was that Jane Sanders’ oversight financially damaged the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, but this claim was debunked by Vermont’s Bishop of the Catholic Church.

Incredibility dishonest, of course not surprising that Hill Folk would stoop so low given how they treated President Obama

lol, so the problem with the holocaust was mainly that it wasn't limited to germany?

the reason why american droning is so awful is primarily because it has nothing to do with improving security, it's just something done to keep up appearances, to kill people not to look weak. so it doesn't prevent dictators from killing their people, it doesn't stop terrorists

Hillary's actions, like Zuck's, can be easily explained away as the simple result of blind egotism rather than careful political planning

the problem is that perhaps the same could be said of all presidential campaigns

I honestly would not be surprised if she made another attempt at it. There's also more than enough institutional power still backing her as well as intangibles like tarnished pride, spite, and fear of the left that she could make a strong showing in the primaries.

Also the hillfolk are craven sickos, so that helps.

her point is that it was disrespectful of Trump to speak ill of the intel community while standing in one of the US "allies" in the intel community

an ally which the US picked up during the invasion of Iraq and harbored CIA black sites for them
