Do you respect members of the armed forces?

Question

KostasKouvalis · Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, NO. I have a bad history with them, especially at my old job. Okay, the ones that were drafted, I can still at least justify, but the young ones and ones that enlisted by choice, they act like they didn't know what they were signing up for. But generally speaking, the most assholish and entitled people I've had to deal with at work were military people. I already disliked them because of all the stuff I read about war crimes and The Night Stalker's brother. Then I was threathened and cyber bullied by a Navy guy for telling his psycho niece to leave me alone. And then my treatment at work was the final nail in the coffin. I read a story of one in Australia who threw a hissy fit because a girl wouldn't give him his veteran's discount because he was American! US soldiers are the only ones I know who act like entitled brats.
"Wounded WARRIORS"? What about Wounded LOCALS?

They raped French girls in WWII. They raped Korean and Vietnamese girls. They raped Iraqi and Afghan girls. They rape Japanese girls on Okinawa. They can't keep their tiny circumsized dicks in their camo pants.
Read about what Richard Ramirez's brother did in Vietnam. Then they were shocked they got spat on

Nope unless they earned my respect, and volunteering for that work does not earn my respect.

nolabels · Answer

I do, unless there is cause for me not to respect someone, which pretty much goes for everyone else, too.

Knowing that someone is a veteran of service to their country is an automatic 'tick' towards my greater respect for them than someone I might know nothing about.

Some yes. Some no. There are a couple million people in the US military at any given time. They aren't monolithic clones. Gangs have infiltrated the military. Batshit crazy Evangelical End Times Christians have infiltrated the military. There are dumbasses and geniuses in the military. But mostly they are pretty ordinary people.

Yes, but I don't respect politicians throwing men's lives away on unnecessary wars or unnecessary operations involving boots on ground in said wars.

With drone warfare and stealth bombers, there is little reason to ever use troops on the ground ever again in warfare. You can attrition your opponents supplies by attacking their production and energy markets. The way to win a war is through attrition, not by "fighting enemy troops".

Considering that 85% of US military personnel are males, is it any surprise that so many females voted no, they don't respect them, since they owe their free lazy asses to the blood, sweat and sacrifice of men and are getting a free ride on their backs? What a bunch of ungrateful lowlife leeches.

Only to a point. If they obey illegal orders, they're taking part in criminal activities. I respect those won't commit crimes and say I was just following orders, even at personal risk.
