I’ll join you as I agree with your sentiments. This really should have been posted in the “Off Topic” section though. ---

You should only be considered a VET if you went to war . ---

Freedom is an illusion. Never understood why people think we are “free” from what ? ---

Freedom is your right to pursue happiness. There are places where one is oppressed, tortured, enslaved, and there is no freedom. ---

Dear God do you ever post anything that isn’t kissing lol fact is being in the navy or whatever is a job just like anything else, now the ppl who were forced into going to war are the real heroes not the ppl who are paid for doing their job! This thread should be closed as it’s off topic! ---

I expected some negativity when I made this post. There is very little patriotism in this forum. That’s fine, but that shows me that this is not where I need to be. Good luck to you in the future cause you are going to need a ton. ---

Don’t worry, I’m hoping they close this thread as I can see most all the people posting here have been nothing but little kids complaining. ---

No people are just fed up with people making threads like this one… useless threads everywhere! alt accounts everywhere, trolls everywhere… I hoped that would have changed with this new one. endless speculations, This new forum had to be released when the game was released and not 6 months in advance ! ---

Good luck to you in the future cause you are going to need a ton. We aren’t all Americans. Strange thing: that there people other than Americans in this world—and, indeed, people other than those the brave American servicepeople are sent to slaughter from the safety of destroyers hundreds of kilometres away, or bombers tens of thousands of feet above the ground, or armoured tanks, or from portable offices on the back field of an air force base controlling SkyNet planes blowing up cars and funerals in Yemen.
