    Reminds me of this old one that I first saw pinned up in the custodian's office at the school I was working at over a decade ago and thinking to myself how absurd it was. Weird how conservatives love to depict the disabled vet but don't give a shit about them when they're disabled and homeless. Everything just tells on them further

      Alright but if this guy is disabled because he was defending the right to sit during the pledge, shouldn’t he be glad someone is excercising that right?

      Ahh yes, defending America from the Koreans/Vietnamese/Panamanians/Iraqi/etc and their barbaric anti-sitting laws.

    You have to be a real Donkey of the Week to be injured in Desert Storm. The Iraqi army mostly collapsed the first night. I don't blame his ex.

      Reminds me of the old joke about the WW2 veteran who fell out of a guard tower.

      Donkeys are affectionate and loyal and will fight off coyotes to protect their neighbors. They're braver than the troops. collusion

      I think I recall reading somewhere you were more likely to die in a car crash in Iraq then die in combat as a soldier.

    I've met at least two vets, one a fucking former Marine, who admitted they spent most of their time just dicking around on base in Iraq. The Marine guy said he got in exactly two firefights, both of which involved someone shooting maybe five or six bullets from super far away while he was behind good cover and just shot a few bullets back in their general direction. Even Vets will sometimes admit this crap is bullshit.

    Which one is funnier:

    A) The author is not a veteran

    B) The author is a veteran, but just drove trucks or something

    C) The author is a veteran, with combat experience

    I'm leaning B) because it combines both stolen valor with massive divorce energy but some guy thinking getting disabled in a desert is less worse than family court has great wife guy energy

    Beautiful. Reminds me of former libertarian candidate for Illinois governor, Kash Jackson. Brave family court warrior eventually sentenced to prison for threatening to kill the family court judges.
