“The most fun I never want to have again” is how the military is often described.

[@capt.raptor4650]

the military is a cult. it really is. _and as much as we hate it, we always wish we could go back once we're out._

[@aprilmason1616]

Would you mind telling me how come? Id love to listen and learn something

[@ArminiusSage]

@@aprilmason1616 Why? Because there is no greater feeling of community. There’s a lot of opportunities as well. But leadership (espeically on the officer side that weren’t enlisted first) is fuckin shit. 98% of them are nothing but politicians doing anything they can to pad their OERs in order to go to school and promoted. It’s a short list. And the padding is done by making the enlisted do some extremely stupid shit. It’s why majority of people get out after four years, hate the military system but absolutely miss their brothers and sisters.

[@thomaswood1158]

@@aprilmason1616 there is no greater feeling than putting your fellow countrymen behind you and saying “stay there I’ve got this”. The camaraderie, the sense of belonging, and the true bonds that we forged during our service is bad none. Where the issue lies is when we look back on what we were involved in, either directly or indirectly, and we notice minimal if any positive tangible change, the main question is always “what was it all for?”. We would lovingly go back in and be with our brothers and sisters again, it’s just the nature of what we did for the past 20 years is still murky. Semper

My dad’s work friend served in Vietnam. He was a helicopter gunner and he fell out of the helicopter into a rice field. They came and picked him up. He had broke his neck and back but just went through the pain. Like twenty years later he finally went to the doctor and got treated. He had also got shot in his butt because someone shot up at the helicopter. Gunners would sit on their helmet to keep that from happening.

[@BigWyattgaming]

@scxrti1942 Yeah that does sound pretty brutal. We always hear what the Vietnamese soldiers would do to our troops but we never hear of what we did to them

[@ArminiusSage]

I don’t think he got lost over there…. Pretty sure he’s been back for awhile… But then again, those pow camps did some heinous shit, and there’s undoubtedly still a a few MIA over there…

[@Marcus96s]

@@ArminiusSage You always tell Vietnam Veterans “Welcome home” because when they first got back from the war they were basically spit on and hated on… they weren’t looked at as hero’s, so not only did they sacrifice their lives and mental health but they came home to be hated. It took like 50ish years for them to even be recognized for what they did for our freedom. So everytime you thank a Vietnam vet you say “Welcome home” because they weren’t welcomed when they came back.
