@@pelinalwhitestrake3367 The source is the line of bullshit he’s saying. Fun fact all POG stands for is Personal Other then Grunt. And he is literally a POG because he’s not a grunt. The guy can’t even break down basic military slang without the use of Wikipedia what more do you want? The fact that the DD214 he threw up was missing a few boxes most notably discharge status. Like the whole video itself is proof because he outs himself the whole video.

The reputation reddit has sucks. There are plenty of communities there that are fine, but some shit ones ruins it for everyone.

[@fake12396]

It's mainly the small specialized subs that have the highest % of not being crap, the bigger-but-not-quite-mainstream ones have some that are OK i guess, and the mainstream ones are a lost cause. Sometimes you might see actual good discussions or humor that's actually funny in the comments, but it's surrounded by a sea of absolute crap. Browsing /r/all without a LOT of filtering could might as well be walking in a sewer full of radioactive sludge

[@saitama_thecapedbaldy3489]

"fighting bugs aren't the same as fighting in Afghanistan" - Reddit cringe detective If only there was uhh... a concept that might be invoked in a literary sense, that a writer might use... like when humans get seen as less than human due to propaganda and grievances that fuel or are used to justify violence. Or in a satirical exaggerated sense to draw attention to somethong absurd. No it's just cringe!! Stop trying to think about it!!!

[@AgentB7]

I recently returned to Reddit shortly to engage in a new hobby, and left again, metaphorically screaming. People who can't show anything real, who have no bragging rights over anything in their life, perfect art of dipping in slime anything they come across.

[@Hoovy00]

Short for poggers. Generally you call something Pog when you like it. Unless there is some military acronym

[@johnny13x2]

@@Hoovy00 In this sense and usage, it is a military slang term for someone who never went beyond the wire, i.e. never left base. There is an actual military acronym for Pog, meaning Personnel Other (than) Grunt, meaning generally non-combat roles. Which is where the slang term in this use originated, as it became an insult for enlisted combat roles to belittle non-combat roles, and then it spread to any role that didn't experience any combat regardless of enlisted role.

I thought "POG" meant "Piece Of Garbage".

Late comment. But there's so many cringe vet youtubers that youd have to compete pretty hard to warrant attention for it.

[@JB-ls5pq]

The ptsd clout chasing accusation. It might have been an unintentional implication. I cant tell you which one or if there is such a moment. but i can give an example of how i missinterpreted something another youtuber said. Paul harell said that he was a part of officer pistol education. So i concluded that he was a part of the police force at one point in your life. He wasn't Combination of inattention and human memory being screwy on occasion.

if Reddit says all this real evidence is fake then it doesnt count for anything lol jokes aside, while the video could have been recently made by ai as fake evidence, that still doesnt change the fact that ironically compared to the very first videos the in video quality got better while the thumbnails got more attention seeking. took me some getting used to but if your like me a nerd who wants to learn military stuff its well worth it. also every person is cringe if you just ask enough people, literally everyone has a different view on things and its impossible to make a video where not a single person would call it cringe, even if you only asked people who are part of the target audience. Reddit is great for tech advice or other stuff where you can poke in a circle of nerds and ask for advice but anything else is a massive joke.
