Kirk Hinrich, Chris Kaman, Nick Collison and Kyle Korver were also in that draft. A solid draft in both top tier talent and gritty players.
Very cool watson thinks not participating in unjust and immoral invasions is being a pussy as he joins the reserves and takes the fast track to being an officer. Very cool very smooth brain.
in a debate on whether or not you’re being an internet tough guy, you go full internet tough guy. Really a sad state of affairs for the party at the moment.
Does the Washington Post's reporting on him demanding that the wall be black with spikes on top stand?
Yeah I was, but well, I wanted to go to college and I am a pussy who didn't want to go to war for a bad reason. Now had there been a draft and I was chosen I would have gone because my parents could not have paid off a Dr. Also, I'm not THAT big a pussy.
Going to die in another country that is not a direct threat to us to show your toughness is an interesting take. But lets be honest, this page is full of a lot of middle class white kids, we were not seeing the draft for awhile if there was one.
Even a worse excuse, because by the time you graduated college Afghanistan would have been heating up. Of course, you would. That's incredibly easy to say when you had no threat of actually going. If you think Iraq was a bad reason (It was), I can't even imagine what you would say about Vietnam where our involvement was literally to make the quality of life worse for the Vietnamese. At least in Iraq we indirectly tired to improve the quality of life for the average Iraqi.
The draft in Vietnam didn’t quite work like that, countless middle class kids were drafted and died over there.
Yeah, this current conflict probably disproportionately affected the lower class than Vietnam because it was all volunteer.
Look pal. I did my part. I bought Toby Keith albums and streamed Daryl Worley “Have you forgotten!” Repeatedly. I even bought Dixie Chicks albums so I could smash them. #MissionAccomplished
How dare Frank Martin use the name of America’s Coach while utterly obliterating what was once a great thread with 2+ pages of absolute dogshit?
This keeps happening.... “centrists” and their corporate overlords will ALWAYS choose fascism if the alternative is progressive
Do people really not understand the difference between faking medical deferments and being a conscientious objector? I’d love to see how Trumps life would have played out if he had just said he didn’t want to go to Vietnam. He would have spent decades being called a Communist sympathizer
National guard and reserves have a similar part time commitment. Nice job threading the needle of being a troop but minimizing the risk exposure. What’s worse: “dodging” our forever war or becoming a literal weekend warrior so you can pretend you’re “not a pussy”? At least you can play a hardo online and get 10% off at Home Depot. Have you been flashing that DoD card to get all the free meals at Applebee’s this weekend?
Got it. I’m caught up now. I have that guy on ignore because he has a weird fascination with sex crimes.
I already admitted I pussed out of Afghanistan and Iraq in this thread. Weird how you and the other guys are playing the tough guy role right now. It's this intellectual dissonance that's sad.
This is more pathetic than sad. "Can we just ban people who point out when we're wrong?" That's a great strategy in life and one that will do wonders for progress.
Watson one of the problems with being a blatant nihilist is that your appeals to notions of "progress" or "truth" ring extremely hollow. Hope that helps, buddy.
Pump the breaks. Trump went through a personal Vietnam far worse than the actual war - he managed to survive the 80’s without an STD.
