>mfw an american thanks an american soldier for his """service"""
Why is american culture so cucked towards soldiers?
They literally kneel and kiss the feet of people who have """served""" in the military, and it's so fucking funny that those people walk around in their army outfits even when off duty just for free respect.
>>59729272
well their military actually held off the british
>>59729272
Propaganda. There was a spotify ad the other day "the music you love brought to you by those who fought for your freedom"
It's literally everywhere you can't escape it.
>>59729286
What an unexpected ally!
>>59729320
This
>>59729320
So what's the social punishment for saying that soldiers are welfare queens? What wouldvthe average american say to that?
>>59729433
>why don't you go to argentina and see how well THEIR military defends you, aye?
>>59729470
But we don't need defence since we don't have any enemies
>we're here to honor those who served to protect us
Ok
>in Afghanistan
I don't understand it either. So fucking what you took a bullet from hafez ali the goat farmer turned mercenary spamming a 30 year old rpk at your position, the large majority of "insurgents" or "terrorists" are more interested in local conquest than flying halfway across the planet to bomb us.
>>59729433
Most people will just get upset and shun you for a while. Mostly you'll just get the "they fought so you could say that" speech.
I mean nobody gets lynched or anything if that's what you mean. Just a lot of butthurt and defensiveness.
>>59729489
That's true, it went down with the pride of your navy.
>>59729433
All of my friends in the military would laugh and agree, they hate dumbshit soldier worshipping civvies
>>59729489
You can't trust chileans though, they are like the jews of South America.
>>59729569
What went down?
Isn't Singapore a british colony?
>>59729614
They'd never start a war against us
Their self-steem is too inferior compared to Argentina. We could laugh at them into submission. They exist because we recognize them.
>>59729637
Yeah, just like the Falkland Islands.
>>59729637
>tfw Singapore is one city with 1/8th of Argentinas population but has half of their GDP
>>59729637
Indeed, but I am not the one arguing about the lack of appreciation for a country's military here.
>What went down?
previously your military, now your economy
http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21596582-one-hundred-years-ago-argentina-was-future-what-went-wrong-century-decline
>>59729687
lets not be too harsh here, maybe if argentina was just buenos aires they'd have 1/3rd of detriots gdp
>>59729674
>>59729687
>>59729743
Sounds like a little question got a lot of folks riled up
>>59729832
too bad your democracys arnt
>>59729286
but they lost against canada
>>59729272
It's extremely shameful criticizing people that serve in the military here. You'll be seen as an anti american commie
>>59729940
Canada was founded 50 years after that war
We held off the British empire
>>59729272
Because the military consists primarily of Southerners who hate lefty politicians and love freedom. You'll notice democrats and the lib media shit on the military regularly.
>>59730563
It consists primarily of absolute fucking idiots who were too stupid for college or even a skilled trade and signing their life away to the government was literally the best option in their life
So yeah, in other words, southerners and people who hate leftists
>>59730599
As usual what they lack in brains they make up with brute force. Because we have a shitton of those we were a military superpower.
