A lot of vets commit suicide because while they were serving there was a strong sense of community and loyalty with other soldiers in their unit, and they're subsequently unable to deal with the disconnect when their service ends and they return to a society of alienated loners endlessly competing with each other.

Yeah it's a complicated subject and a lot of depressed veterans were also depressed before they were in the military, which is why they joined the military

wasnt there some story that veteran cops actually tended to be better disciplined and less likely to shoot people than other cops

i love the companies that pride themselves on hiring veterans. my company tried doing that and they were all shitheads. the guys from liberty city in miami are better workers.

i think the problem is that guys that leave the military arent deprogramed. they're suddenly left to their own devices so they get addicted to poo poo because they suddenly have nobody to tell them no or a cohesive structure to adhere to. they're just thrown to the whims of capitalism and at the same time told they can do no wrong because they're veterans.

I think we should spend all the money used on armed services appreciation on therapy for veterans instead

Its weird to me that conservative people love appreciating the military but let them just sort of rot away. At least many leftists are consistent when letting them rot away by also calling them real fuckers

Veterans are the one of the most anti-war blocs of people I've ever met.

Most of them are victims, but some of them are true psychopaths.

Internet VFW/GIP might be more anti-war than D&D which says something

But GIP also has a few posters who want to nuke everything, including themselves.

Fascism is a systemic response to the death throes Capitalism. Unless it's taken out at the knee caps, Capitalism will simply continue to generate more and more fascists before imploding into a violent supernova of death.
