You should never ever blindly thank soldiers for their service. You have no idea what horrible things they have done.

…or mundane things. A lot of the armed services is paperwork, logistics contract/project management etc. You know, the stuff AI was meant to replace.

I basically hold no more positive or negative feelings toward them than any other profession really. Unless I know them personally and their story, I won’t shame them or praise them simply for being apart of it.

I honestly try to minimize the amount of people who know I’m a veteran irl just so I won’t have some casually racist asshole look up to me.

What the hell has Nauru done? Why do they need to be punished
