Did the old guy in my gym locker room turn the tv on fox news? Yes he did. When he went to the shower, did I change it to ESPN and hide the remote?

And the *overly* patriotic crowd in America is pissing me off. Happy to wave the flag. Happy to send other people's sons & daughters off to war. They're most likely the ones to thank me for my service when they see me in uniform. 5/13

This isn't even a complete list. Just a sampling. There are more. Lots more. I didn't even include those who I've known who have succumbed to their invisible wounds. I'd be willing to bet that all veterans and those still serving have a similar list. 13/13

The thing that upsets me is thinking of all my friends, coworkers, and acquaintances who have died. Many in senseless, needless wars. I don't like hearing about "their ultimate sacrifice". Because that assumes their deaths were for some higher goal. 3/13

But many of this crowd who would eagerly send us off to war cannot even identify these places on a map, let alone verbalize what our political end state should be. They are overly fond of using the "easy button" of sending the military out to handle things. 6/13

I am proud of my brothers and sisters in arms who have met death in service to their country. They fought valiantly, and carried the weight of war until the very end. But I have to be honest with myself that many of them died for causes that were ill planned at best. 7/13

I've been on 9 deployments. On last one, I was in Kandahar (again...) and asked the Brigadier General what our exit strategy was for Afghanistan. He had no clue, and was angry at me for even asking. 🙄 4/13

As pointed out by my friend @LadyJayPersists a few days ago, many people confuse this day with Armed Forces Day and Veteran's Day. But that's not the thing that upsets me. That's a forgivable error. 2/13

@ThexyBeatht_2 This is one of many reasons why I don’t speak with my mother. Father died 20 years ago, but I wouldn’t be speaking with him either. Throw my older brother in this, too. They are cut from my life.

My $0.02 on the "man vs bear" topic. Trigger warning (but only if you're an insecure male...) read at your own risk. BLUF: If you're upset about the choice most women have picked in this hypothetical debate, then you're most definitely proving their point. 1/many

There's a whole lot of people in my life who have not bothered to keep up with me. Not ghosting, per se, just not giving a shit. I've learned that there is no "exit message" necessary for these people. I just cut them out. Time will pass, and maybe they'll notice. Or not.

I have fought enemies of the United States across the globe, on 9 deployments for my country. And I think the most existential threat to America right now is the possibility of another Trump administration.
