This is sad America

Don't like the military? IDGAF. I will still protect you and your family. That is my duty. My heart goes out to all active, guard, and reserve units in all countries and all branches.

that is why meritocracies are superior, if I were in power of Canada, I would have the population hold soldiers, firemen, police, etc in the highest regard!

I joined to Serve, I didn't join to get money. If I wanted money I wouldn't have joined, I love my country, and I will die for my country. I will never make millions a year, but atleast I can say that I served my country with Honor, Courage, and commitment. HOOYAH!

They Both chose their lots in life,they both had a choice and they both make it.And just to make something clear,if we didnt have our soldiers over there do you really think america would be taken over or destroyed,REALLY?There is no fucking line the terrorist have to cross.And whats even better is that THOSE people weren't terrorists when they were fighting the Soviet Union...they were freedom fighters then.

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. I am an American and I love this country. I am willing to die for my country at any given moment. God bless the USA.

i see nothing sad about that, any quarterback that spends his life going toward one dream the superbowl, through endless training diets and HUGE amounts of risk deserves a parade. Not a man most likely a drop out of school going into the military because he wants to be a "hero" doesn't deserve shit. When you enter the military you know exactly what it means to enter, it means killing it means doing war crimes. Sure poeple could say that its "protecting this country" but WAR is what is endangering this country. People who work their whole life for something deserve a just reward, not some one looking for athority with a war to cover their ass for the shit they did.

I can disagree. He was more probably pulled in the fucking hell of the war. Besides, you cant just pop out of nowhere, and become a soldier. You need to work HARD to do it. I know it since my father defended my country, and he always keeps talking about it to stay sane. Their commander gave them a very simple training. Everything that was not our should be shot down. With only that he had to go to battlefield. He had luck that a veteran trained them while they werent fighting. So, cut the crap. He also had no choice, because his family was probably in financial shit. So, have a nice portion of STFU.
#1534 - trololotrollytroll (02/12/2012) [-]
Please explain to me why da fuck did he go to the war, or did he kill anybody there? I am not being a Jehovas witness, but isnt one of the ten god`s commands that we must not kill?

because you are defending the army (I hope) I will thumb, but cmon, lets leave religion off of this channel
#1470 to #1534 - cbjunior (02/17/2012) [-]
That's your argument? People like you don't deserve to have your lives and freedoms protected. Every person who puts their lives in danger to protect my family, my home and my life deserves a parade. They deserve a parade every day for the rest of their life. Go fuck yourself.
#1471 to #1470 - trololotrollytroll (02/17/2012) [-]
and for who are they fighting against? explain me that one. for what? they killed as much as civilians they could in iraqui war, and the only because your president bush went to the blody war in the first place. he did not want to attack saudi arabia, because ladens are saudi. and why? because saudi have almost a 1,000,000,000,000$ in amerifat banks. so go get raped by a white shark for your retardacy. thank you for being so fucking amerifat inteligent, better said completely brainwashed. i cannot blame u for that.
#1473 to #1471 - cbjunior (02/18/2012) [-]
Oh, and I don't give a fuck what the tyrannical Judeo-Christian god says. The Abrahamic faiths have brought so much suffering and hardship to the world, and you're quoting one of the ten commandments to argue AGAINST war? You, sir, are an uneducated, blind retard.
#1472 to #1471 - cbjunior (02/18/2012) [-]
Okay, so you're under the impression that every single person who joins the military is immediately accountable for the decisions of politicians. And I'm the retard? Makes perfect fucking sense. I'm not justifying the war, I'm protesting the belittling of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women who felt a duty to protect their families and homes. Also, learn to fucking spell.
#1475 to #1472 - trololotrollytroll (02/18/2012) [-]
well, for your fucking information, you dumb retard, da fuq are they defending thousands of fucking miles away? somebodys fucking oil. you amerifats cant live without it. but, does that mean that if you lose oil, that you lose wars and your financies? yes, because americas main income comes from taxes and oil. and without oil, less shopping powers, less taxes, less funds for army. and that is the only reason why you did not attack saudi. they own 25% of the world oil. you are having 25% of the world oil consumption. so stop being fucking brainwashed. activate that small little gray spot between your ears that is probably already dead. and you may freely suck your dick if you can strech your back so much.
#1477 to #1475 - cbjunior (02/19/2012) [-]
Once again, LEARN TO FUCKING SPELL, you brain dead moron.
#1476 to #1475 - cbjunior (02/19/2012) [-]
I don't care what your opinion is about the politics behind the war. That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. We're talking about the people who didn't make the decisions but became involved because they were in the military. Your scope of the world is so contrived that it is impossible for you to see that not every single person in the United States military thinks and believes exactly the same thing. I agree with you about the politics, I AM AGAINST THE WAR, but that isn't the subject of this discussion. How fucking dare you call me brainwashed. You are hiding your lack of a real, cohesive, justifiable argument by repeating the same sequence of insults over and over again.
#1482 to #1476 - trololotrollytroll (03/13/2012) [-]
MY GOD. I am so sorry. My little bro took my acc so he could acess NSFW section. I am so sorry for the bullshit that he wrote to you. I can never apologise for this, but I had a car crash, and I was in a coma for several weeks. Dude, please forgive me...
#1483 to #1482 - cbjunior (03/16/2012) [-]
Apology accepted. It was no trouble, it was entertaining watching him try to argue his side.
#1481 to #1476 - trololotrollytroll (03/08/2012) [-]
Well, why did he GO to the war? because of the politics that made him poor. So lets blame ALL the politics for that, shall we :) And, finally someone that accepts the theory.
#1517 - anonymous (02/11/2012) [-]
That entire war was a joke "oh but we were only avenging 9/11" No, our government who doesnt give a fuck about those people who died or the people supposedly protecting this country only used that as an excuse to get cheaper oil   
   
as for professional sports i couldnt care less

If my friend and I go rob a bank, and the cops try to shoot my friend but I take the bullet for him.... am I a hero? No.
If the miltary invades a foreign country in order to get cheaper oil prices, and I'm killed by someone defending their homeland... am I a hero? No.

1) Soldiers to get parades.
2) The fact that you "don't give a fuck" whether the citizens of America support what you do (as a soldier) demonstrates the level of ethics in the military. You should be VERY MUCH concerned if the people you are "protecting" don't want you to do what you are doing. Not, not giving a fuck.
3) Professional athletes get paid millions of dollars because they are the absolute best at what they do. Any asshole can join the military. Literally. Think of some asshole you know - that guy could join the military. There are child soldiers doing the same thing. Anyone who goes through the 8 weeks of training can be a soldier. You don't have to be skilled physically or mentally. That's why soldiers get paid $38,000 and pro athletes get paid millions. They are skilled labor, and soldiers are just anybodies who are willing to kill whoever they are told to for an easy paycheck.
4) You are not protecting me. No one is invading America. YOU are invading a foreign country. And it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, you do it because you get paid to do it, regardless of whether its right or not. America had political/economic interests in the middle east, so we invaded them. WE are invaders. People who are in the military agreed to do that in exchange for a paycheck. If you want respect and parades, you should help the world find peace, not make war. If you want respect you should absolutely give a fuck when American citizens are telling you that they don't want you doing what you're doing on their behalf.
User avatar #1505 to #1503 - godsxnosx (02/11/2012) [-]
Actually, you have to be very skilled, physically AND mentally, to be in the military. Have you ever killed a man? It takes a lot of balls. I mean, take the Navy, for instance, one of the tests you have to pass to be in the Navy is to be dropped a mile off coast into the ocean and swim all the way back to land. That's with all you equipment on too. Why do assholes like you even comment on stuff when you have no idea what you're talking about...
#1518 to #1505 - anonymous (02/11/2012) [-]
>"Have you ever killed a man? It takes a lot of balls"
#1509 to #1505 - anonymous (02/11/2012) [-]
Killing someone does not equal skill. It does not take balls. It takes a person who is willing to sell their ethics, or doesn't have a problem killing a fellow human in the first place.
Being in the military does not take skill mentally or physically. Sure, if you can't count you can't do it and if you can't lift a bowling ball you can't do it. But YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION to join! Is that what you mean by "you have to be very skilled mentally"? That completing junior high school demonstrates a high level of mental skill? As far as physical ability goes, the military is certainly more taxing. But, ANY able-bodied person between 18 and 25 who is healthy can pass the tests easily. ANYBODY. If anybody can do it, it's not skilled. It's normal. You don't tell people that you're physically skilled because you can tie your shoelace. Anybody can. And anybody who is healthy can pass the military's test and be a soldier. It's just like the test for a driver's license - sure it's possible to fail, but as long as you're not an idiot and there's nothing wrong with your body, you can pass it. Anybody can. There's nothing "skilled" about it.
And swim a whole mile? A whole mile?! Oh geez, yeah that's pretty awe inspiring.

I comment because service members always go fishing for respect and praise and acting like they do what they do for the good of the country. They set the system up to treat all people who serve as some kind of heroes, when the reality is that only a few are. And I can't respect any of them because they take paychecks in exchange for killing whoever they are told to without thinking about whether it's right or wrong.

Soldiers saying things like "it takes balls to kill a man" is the reason I comment.
It takes a coward to kill a man. It takes balls to stand up for what is right in the face of adversity.

"Have you ever killed a man? It takes a lot of balls."
I was in the military of my country because I was forced to but I fortunately never had to kill a human. When you write someting like "Have you ever killed a man? It takes a lot of balls." it sounds like it's something "cool", something to be proud of. But every dysfunctional idiot can kill a man. You just need to lower your scruple and be an proud asshole. It does not take that much to be in the army. I see a lot of idiots joining the military because they were losers in school and the most really skilled athletes I know hate the military.
#1512 to #1507 - thepussyhandler ONLINE (02/11/2012) [-]
I think he meant it's not something to take lightly. Not everybody in the military is joining to get a rush out of killing. Some are there for the money, but who can blame them, jobs aren't easy to come by. Some do it because they think it'll do good for their country and it'll make them a patriot. Personally I don't believe they should be risking their lives for what they're fighting for. And I don't agree with whatOH PEEis saying.

I also don't believe they should risking their and others lives for money or "honor". But I agree with you. A lot of young people believe that everything they do in the military is a good thing but they think with emotions and not with their brains.

At least football players don't invade poor countrys and kill. The most who suffer because of war are the civilians. And come on, you don't PROTECT your country by invading a poor country and stealing oil. In my country nobody want to support these fucked up "games" of the power-mad governments but they are forced to fight for the rich government. Also a lot of these so called "Terrorists" have no choice. They either fight or get killed. In some country it's your own choice. So take use of it and don't support war. Not for pride & honor, not for money and not for idealism. There is nothing honorable about it. However, the only people who get a real benefit from wars are the rich and powerful people.
#1499 - anonymous (02/11/2012) [-]
Please think / learn about wars before you post any warhero pictures... Especially Americans who - at least the majority of them - are everywhere simply because that's the easiest way to get recourses ( = money). No war is good, no soldiers are good. They aren't protecting your country.

If you think the troops are for your good, just think why they ACTUALLY even exist...

Its funny because professional sports is a joke and the war is a failure
User avatar #1490 - IcyWiener (02/11/2012) [-]
The reason for this is because football players, or entertainers in general, are paid by the people who pay to come see them. It's the culture that racks up the income for big named people like Eli and Peyton Manning,, movie actors, musicians-whether shitty or not-, Kobe Bryant, even Jeremy Linn of the New York Knicks.

However, soldiers are paid for by the government, or in other words, taxpayers money. Football organizations have billions of dollars to spend on even the warmest of benchwarmers, but it's because that's all they spend their money on. Hell, there's even a salary cap for NFL teams, so you can't just spend as much money as you want on players.

The government has other needs to address besides paying the soldiers millions of dollars, such as trying to get out of national debt perhaps?

Just sayin. Red thumgs inbound

which is also biased. 100% of the veterans i have talked to are all around the nicest friendliest most helpful people i have ever known. and they all say they would never do anything differently with their lives. so be before you make another condescending statement about the military think twice. because those people you are insulting happen to be my best friends, my family, and the people i hold dearest to my heart.
#1487 - problematique ONLINE (02/11/2012) [-]
>implying that people join the army in order to be famous and find recognition through their choice, which no one obliged them to take.   
   
I don't agree with war, nevertheless, I'm sure people don't join war so everyone will cherish them. They do it to supposedly protect their family, which is inaccuraret, but their intentions are pure. Soldiers are heroes, indeed, but brainless.   
   
America's government decided to start a war under false pretenses and while soldiers joined having pure intentions, overall the purpose of the war itself has not. So soldiers are brave yes, but kind of stupid. And they join to defend their families, because they are propably being misinformed about what is actually going on.   
   
Anyway, I started ranting again and that is not my aim, what I am trying to put across is that soldiers join the army not for money, not for recognition, but for the country they love.   
   
So stop making shitty comics like this one, it's getting tiring, and it's also inaccurate.

If every person in the military made the same as Eli Manning's, 9.9 million, we would DOUBLE the U.S.'s debt.

Besides, Eli is paid by a private corporation/football organization. Troops are paid by the government.

A parade though? Sure, that's fine; but every other point is stupid.
