Seriously, they are both former military, my dad was in for like 30 years, how do they like the drunk secretary? I get that he saw combat, but being in combat doesn’t automatically make you qualified for… well anything except therapy and medical care.

    It takes a certain type of fundamentally fucked-up personality to consider that killing and maiming is an acceptable career. The military then spends vast sums on further brutalising those people until they kill on command without question. Violence and cruelty stalk their lives. He is One of Us, therefore he is better than One of Them.

      they also spend alot on propaganda, in putting it in a positive light, ever notice how movies/shows with us military never are the bad guy, its because they lease out thier equipment on the conditions they must be good PR, not negative, there is some wiggle room though. plus they need the military propaganda for recruiting cannon fodder/ selecting from officer schools/rotc through these movies and shows.
