Total tools, imo.

The first two are gone.

Hopefully, the last one will follow suit.

Your job doesn't make you a hero. A fry cook who pulls someone from a fire is a hero. A soldier who stalks a young girl and rapes her, afterward slaughtering her and her family is no hero. Are burger flippers heroes too?

If they didn't get paid, then I would give them all the praise in the world. They are doing a job they signed up for, just like any other profession.

So every other day we should not recognize these veterans? Noted.

It's a good thing that they're fighting for something far bigger than your respect. Get a clue.

sleeper;972797 wrote:Why should I give someone praise for doing their job? That was the point. You must be in the military, because logic isn't your strong suit.
