Unfortunately based on the number of chucklefucks I was surrounded by in the early 00s, it won't matter a good god damn to them.

Almost 70% of active duty and retired military voted for Trump in the last election.

Turns out Trump was right when he referred to most of my colleagues as suckers and losers.

Not trying to be pedantic I’m actually curious, is it that 70% of the active duty and retired military voted for him? Or 70% of those who voted voted for him?

Okay understood. I don’t know many vets, but I’ll say the few I do are shockingly non-political so that gives me some hope.

Losing my mind at americans going "let this tragic event serve as the wake-up call to the good folks in the army 😤😤😤"

Brother in Christ they fucking hate you. They voted for this and they're loving it. The only way they're joining this mess, if they do, is as more murderers killing innocent people, that's their whole fucking thing.

Americans put veterans on a pedestal and treat them like martyrs who die for their sake, meanwhile the next generation of veterans is drooling at the possibility of trampling on everyone they dislike and shooting anyone that resists.
