Think about this: if free healthcare is so great, then how come the politicians supporting it aren’t signing up for it?

do enjoy your life and your freedom while a Marine just got killed in Afganistan fighting for that feedom some of the time or not any of the time?

As a civilian myself (for now), I can’t say I totally understand it, but I do still find it hilarious. Maybe that’s just because I spend so much time around the Marine recruiters and poolees.

For the record, however, I’ve never said I hate my job. It’s completely fantastic.

no it’s paid for by YOU the taxes to pay for veterans before and after their service and to keep your liberal dream alive will eventually bankrupt us to honestly show how bankrupt we already are Nixon is laughing at us in his grave, maybe this is why he went to China to open a line of credit…..And reagan tried to hold off the realisation the Dumb way and now we’ll never get to smoke pot legally

Ha ha! Now that takes me back! I swear, monday morning on Camp Hansen in Okinawa, that was like being in a burning brewery or something! I got tipsy just from the smell of the hungover bastard in front of me!

And what about those crazies who smoked BEFORE the run?

By: Jeff

Jeff — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:06:13 +0000

Just about perfect! The stink of booze coming out of everybody’s pores during morning PT, wow. Flashbacks. The part that always made me laugh was how fast everybody whipped out a smoke after a PT run, crazy.

There are some really ignorant comments in this thread. Awesome.

Lighten up man, it’s supposed to be funny. I thought it was freakin hilarious. Especially the part about 4 mile runs with a hangover at 4 a.m.

I’m going to go off-topic here and point out – HOOAH! is the Marines, not Army…

Yeah, what you said.

I work for the campus paper. There are several current or former soldiers. Pretty sure all of them would agree – this is quite amusing.

haha, this was really funny to me. and i’ve been wildly entertained by all the comments. i love all you pretentious “screw the troops” people. i get a huge kick out of your idiocy. im not in the army yet, but i leave for basic early next year. id like to take a moment and thank everyone who is currently serving or is a vet for their service. it means a lot to me that you guys care about your country and its citizens, and want to protect them and their freedom. even the freedom to be a total douche bag. i can’t wait to be numbered among you.

i showed this to my platoon, all grunts, and everyone of them laughed as much as i did, great job

Ya know, I was an MP and this made ME laugh so just chill out and if it’s really THAT BAD…drink some water, change your socks and rub some dirt on it…you’ll be fine.

As a matter of fact I do. I enjoy knowing that members of my family before and after me will continue to defend our great nation so that people like you have the right to bash those who defend their rights.

Do you enjoy all the freedoms you have in the greatest country in the world. Then thank a vet you sorry piece of #*^%

Haven’t been in the Army for 6 years with two Iraq tours under my belt, I can honestly say this is probably the most accurate depiction of how we usually feel. I love it.

Ditto. The only thing better than a free drink from a stranger is free drinks from about thirty strangers!

i considered making one of these relative to being deployed, which i am now, but it kinda fell through due to lack of ideas and what not. good graph i can relate to it as can my company

By: InitialA

Or, as I like to say, if you don’t want to stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them.

Not all liberals are like “lib.” Don’t lump us all together. Liberals aren’t one homogenous group that all thinks exactly the same. My husband’s a liberal and he serves. Also, we live in Boston, one of the most liberal cities in the nation, and no one’s ever given him anything but appreciation and respect for his service.

well said. I don’t support the war either, and I feel the same way.

My husband’s an Iraqi vet and he found this graph both amusing and relatable. He LOLed.

Hey, you don’t want to stand behind us soldiers? Why don’t you stand in front of us instead?

Oh, and no taxes on base goes along with the military discounts.

anti-lib — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:45:17 +0000

I think this “lib” character needs to settle down. I’m sorry the military didn’t take your video game playing fat ass because you probably have something wrong with you or are just, in general, a genetic loser and have something wrong with you. Otherwise, you have the wrong perspective about the military. The act is that the military does not have a political or cultural bias, we just do our job to defend America’s best interests, namely promoting democracy throughout the world so people like you can sleep safe at night, wake up in the morning to post comments like yours on internet sites and go to protests by early afternoon. If it was not for our beloved Armed Service members, you would no longer have that freedom. Try arguing and I could easily use several examples of how we could have lost America AND democracy if it were not for the U.S. Military.

I served for 8 years in 4 continents and 2 combat zones. I agree with this graph. I would actually move the level of fun up a bit across the board. And there is nothing more enjoyable to a vet than to have a complete stranger buy them a drink just because they serve.

Don’t lump all us civilians together!

By: erich

less than 1.5% of the american population will ever experience military life, which is why we get a kick out of it and the rest of them think, wow this isn’t funny at all.

By: erich

erich — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 08:52:06 +0000

you write from the perspective of not being in. everyone i showed this to laughed their asses off. must be from having to be in afghanistan more than 6 months, or iraq for 18.

do they still do pt in the airforce, or is it just when the afn cameras come around to shoot fit for duty. most of the usaf pts i’ve seen via afn were in the office anyway.

Too bad only servicemembers will understand and appreciate the humor of your graph, Xeno. I couldn’t have put it better than Sgt. Mike did. While I am a proud Marine, many a time goes by where I find myself on the side of “the recruiter lied”. If you’re a civilian and you don’t understand this graph, think about the last time you said out loud: “I hate my job”. I can guarantee it was less than 3 hours ago. Then go to work hungover the next morning!
