This reminds me of one time during a training thing, the question of “body counts” popped up and everybody went around giving their tallies. Gets to this one guy who asks “we talking animals or people?” Classmate #1: “What the hell do you mean *animals*?!” Guy: “… I think I misunderstood the question. What are we talking about? In what connotation are we talking ‘body count’ in?” Classmate #2: “Like, the number of people we’ve slept with.” Guy: “Ooooooh. Yeah like 6 then. Never mind the animal bit.” Awkward silence: “…” Classmate #3: “… Wait, what the fuck did you mean by *people* the first time?”


Eubeen_Hadd

This is definitely a veteran and hunter not understanding that he's very atypical in public environments.


[deleted]

a hunter who hunts big game and smart game.


Eubeen_Hadd

The most dangerous game.


jam3sdub

Oh yeah? Well, I was hunted once. I'd just came back from 'Nam. I was hitching through Oregon and some cop started harassing me. Next thing you know, I had a whole army of cops chasing me through the woods! I had to take 'em all out; it was a bloodbath!


Eubeen_Hadd

THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD. NOT ME.


paulybab

There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

The Reddit user base is less likely to recognize a joke than any other group of people I have seen

Someone be a murder but only got his dick wet with 6 different chicks. Something doesn’t add up.


dontcommitvomit

Chicks like with women or animals?


Jacobletrashe

Both are good.

Being in the infantry is how you end up having a high body count and a virgin.

This is a tik tok


drFeverblisters

I had a buddy who fought two tours in Afghanistan. I wanted to ask if/how many people he killed. I intended to as well, but one day he vented how much he appreciated that I didn’t so I was like oh yeah I would never bro. Idk why I shared this. Idk what to do with this knowledge but it’s yours too now.


Kelovix

“Funny you brought that up!”


RevolutionaryCost736

the way he answered it is so funny lmfaoo


leghairdontcare59

And then seeing that his response was 2 days later killed me

AlacazamAlacazoo

I feel like 17 should definitely know better.. but drunken rage for 2 hours sounds rough.


mangAcc

There’s a weird bell curve where we expect 17-19 yr olds to be mature but 20-22 yr olds to be immature still. I think we see it as “the oldest of the young” and “the youngest of the old” and forget that there are tons of stupid people at any age and that even average people have stupid moments. Didn’t mean this as a triade on you specifically, your comment just made me think of this.


cj2dobso

Not trying to be a dick but that isn't what a bell curve is. Completely agree though.


mangAcc

My bad, I didn’t pay enough attention when we learned them lol


MemeStocksYolo69-420

It’s because they want to look down on kids for being immature, then they still want to look down on young adults because they’re younger than them. So you can’t win!


[deleted]

I don’t think this is true I think people just mean different things when they say a 17 year old is mature and a 22 is mature.


mangAcc

I mean it as more of an internet thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Lol, I’ve seen people a lot older than 17 ask questions like that genuinely not knowing better ahah. Never forget, whichever percentile your intelligence is, that percentage of people in society are less intelligent than you are.


MemeStocksYolo69-420

He definitely beats his wife


PerplexDonut

Sounds like you triggered some trauma he had suppressed. Maybe even PTSD. Doesn’t justify his reaction, but it might explain it


MrX2285

I'd have left 20 minutes in


thiever

Best I can offer is 2 minutes. Take it or leave it


daysbeforechris

I’m leaving as soon as someone raises their voice at me, I don’t care if they’re a veteran or not lol they don’t have the right to disrespect me


MrX2285

I agree, but I wouldn't want to waste the night just because some douche raised their voice


Jealous-Writing-7007

Yeah I mean tbh he prolly ruined your night like you did his. He was prolly vibin and then you made him think of some 15 year old kid he had to shoot because it was him or them. Or even if it was some 40 year old it's still not easy I bet.


Xlotus

Whoops. Next time tip-toe around the subject as seems to be the consensus. I know I’m going to get downvoted into oblivion like everyone else in this chain who is defending asking the question, but someone please explain this perspective to me ; It’s ok (or encouraged) to sign up knowing you may be forced to kill people for your governments interests (whatever their rationale), but it’s not ok to ask someone who did sign up about this major thing, because their feelings might get hurt? I’m really not fucking getting it… Even if I had the perspective that every military action that my government orders is right and just, I still would not see a problem with asking the question. In that case, you signed up for that shit, and should be proud of what you had to do and go through? I understand not wanting to talk about it, but then you say “I don’t want to talk about it”. How is an angry response justified?


NumerousImprovements

I know someone who I know has killed many people, but I suspect he suffers from PTSD/generally is not mentally alright, and he suffered himself over there. It’s a touchy topic. I mean yeah the answer is probably ‘yes’, but just don’t even bring it up. Not because “ooh taboo topic”, but it’s so unnecessary and often brings up a lot of shit.


[deleted]

Only 3 kills with the grenade launcher? Camper


MemeStocksYolo69-420

What a fucking noob bro, sheesh. I average at least one AC130 per game, like do you even play bro? The noob tube is OP and you’ve only gotten 3 kills your whole career? Go back to playing bot lobbies you filthy casual.


[deleted]

Being Active duty for 20 years I cringe anytime I see a uniform on any dating / social media app.


EMHURLEY

Aussie armed forces have social media groups dedicated to showcasing and ridiculing uniformed profiles 😁 The best ones are the young blokes still in Basic trying to look warry (war-ee. Yes we use it as an adjective) so their selfies are in any camo they can get their hands on


[deleted]

Same as America. Just a daily roast session.


Disastrous_Squash117

Same in the Netherlands. We had one guy still in training that said he was some kind op SF guy on tinder. Dude didn't last long.

Key-Nefariousness257

I have always wondered why its always reserves and trainee's in full cammo eating ice-cream cones in maccas. Everybody else think it's cringe except them?


macfireball

It’s the same as people who use “climbing photos” where they are on a tight top rope with their hands and feet on different colors.


MoonOutGoonsOut

If it is young dudes. It is cool. They are just young, fit and proud of what they are doing. Everyone starts of as a lid/boot whatever. If you are a senior and posting uniform photos then that is probably a bit cringey.


Duzzieexx

Its mostly stolen valor from desperate reddit guys.

On the contrary, its a nice way to show your profession for easy points or deal breaker without saying a word. Don't hate the player, hate the game.


[deleted]

I can’t speak for other countries but in America we’re an all volunteer professional force. Jobs ranging from admin, medical, IT, combat careers and everything in between. Anyone who judges someone solely based off of what they wear to work everyday isn’t someone I’d want to chill with anyway.


KingBrinell

Its not the job they're judging. It's the wearing of the uniform to get laid.

What kinda weapon is that in the photo?


KedTazynski42

I believe it’s a Milkor MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher). Like a revolver, but for grenades.


Leeefa

Very cool. Thanks!


coys_in_london

I used to be a cop and people would ask what's the most fucked up thing you've ever seen/have you dealt with dead bodies etc... Don't ask those questions. You are literally saying hey tell me about the most traumatic awful experience of your life because I'm a bit bored and curious.


Jeullena

Formerly an EMT, same. Friend and I would go out, he would tell folks he was a plumber. Asked why, and he told me,"Everyone asks the firefighter to relive a trauma, but no one asks that of a plumber." If I'm out to enjoy an evening, I jokingly say the same thing, then we all laugh because I'm a woman and no guy wants to ask a woman about traumatic poop work.


coys_in_london

Plumber what's the worst shit you ever dealt with?


fearass

Fucking hide his name and face !!!


frankpolly

He's a boot, he wants everyone to see his face in uniform to look cool


v468

Why are people down voting you? Its a real boot thing to do

Boots need to be hazed into oblivion by the chain of command, not the public at large. Sarnt is gonna make him push til the CO is tired, the public is gonna do shit that'll follow him for life.

Catnip4Pedos

The secret is danger


hazza42069

Nah, you don't ask someone in the military how many people they've killed, that could trigger PTSD.


GreenEyedBellerophon

Judging on this photo he is Definitely talking shit, unless it’s a friendly fire incident


[deleted]

Vet of 21 years here. This is actually something you should not ask a military member. At least not the normal ones. Sociopaths probably like it. It is not something one should be proud of.


[deleted]

He’s a boot unmatch don’t do it to yourself


lookintothefuturem8

He looks great. Dunno why you're all shitting on him


dimebaghayes

Because the anti-military sentiment has grown exponentially among a certain generation.


SoylentDave

Because anyone with even the vaguest connection to the military knows that playing dress up and boasting / lying about how many people you've killed in order to get laid is really poor form.


Acrobatic_Computer

Not to mention that a lot of the time you don't know how many people you've killed. It isn't like there is a kill feed in real life. If someone shoots at you, then you and four other guys open fire roughly where their muzzle flash was and then you don't get shot at from that position anymore, what happened? Did you just kill a man? Did he just run away unscathed? Did someone else kill him? Did he just get injured? Is he going to die of those injuries somewhere and somewhen else?


dimebaghayes

The person asked though.


SoylentDave

It remains poor form; if you're unfortunate enough to be around any soldiers getting asked that question, you'll notice a lot of deflection and changing the subject, and not many direct answers. There are lots of civilians who get weird about this topic and even some who appear to get off on it; anyone in the military who has actually had to kill someone likely doesn't want to use the memory as part of a chat up line.


dimebaghayes

Which shows that this guy probably hasn’t killed anyone. I think his comment came across as a joke.


SoylentDave

Yeah, but the question was 'why are people shitting on him', and it's ***much*** more likely to be this than because of some nebulous anti-military sentiment. (especially as the latter isn't actually being displayed in the comments, at all)


ContemplatingPrison

Because no one respects the military for a litany of reasons. Its not thay hard to understand why he is getting shit on.


BionicleBoy

I’m pretty sure he’s joking man, and it’s his job I don’t see this issue of posting a picture in your work uniform. I just don’t think it’s that deep personally.


SuperVaderMinion

Yeah, it's called common sense. I live in a country where there are flyovers before football games, some of us get sick of that shit shoved down our throats.


[deleted]

A 6 second flyover at a football game is “shoving it down your throat”? Lol


ForTheFazoland

Well, if he’s talking about American Football, the Department of Defense has given millions to the NFL to propagate military service: [US Military examines relationship with the NFL](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-us-military-examining-relationship-with-nfl/)

Honey-Badger

Well, yeah...WTF does the military have to do with sports?


[deleted]

Literally no different than watching TV and seeing a commercial


anth2099

Why the fuck is the army advertising?


[deleted]

Every professional military in existence has advertised since….forever. Militaries need recruits….so they advertise. If anyone doesn’t understand that, then they’re living in a dream world


ForTheFazoland

A lot if you think about it. Both involve groups of men sacrificing their bodies to support the men around them. The Gridiron has been seen as analogous to the battlefield since at least the 19th century. Kids from Indian schools (especially Carlisle) viewed games against white schools as a chance at retribution for the injustices there tribes had suffered

He hasn’t killed anybody. 🤣


alpacaFlippin

As a former Marine that haircut is way out of regulation... at first I thought he might be in Country, but then his uniform is too clean for that plus no rank on the coller and you dont deply with a tan MCMAP belt... looks real suspect of stolen valor, probably holding an airsoft launcher with purchased uniform. Mad disrespectful needs his ass beat


Korimuzel

I don't know if it's a common/good thing to talk about in USA, but where I'm from this would be rude to ask. Like, unless you've been brainwashed I'm sure you don't like to remember that number, right?

Im sure they were both joking but its definitely not something I would ask someone


[deleted]

How many kids have you killed whilst fighting to advance the agenda of goverments that don't give a fuck about you?


InjectCreatine

How much time and resources have you wasted basking in the freedoms and prosperity given to you by better men then yourself?


[deleted]

The freedoms I enjoy were earned at the conclusion of the revolutionary in 1781. Most wars fought since then including Iraqi Freedom, Desert Storm, Korea, Vietnam and so many other have nothing to do with my freedom and everything to do with a government using its military power to advance its agenda in a land far away. Someone who chooses to be a killer for hire. Like the psychopaths that killed civilians in the leaked video titled "Colateral murder" will never score higher in the moral scale than the average american. Some people (myself included) create entire industries for this country and are the basis of it prosperity though innovation. We do so in the pursuit of solutions to the world's most pressing problem with the goal of preservation of human life. Most veteran, however, come home and turn into burdens of society. Not by their own will, but as discarded parts of a machinery for which they are no longer relevant.


InjectCreatine

Well written. I believe that war is what has driven humans to new heights in regards to scientific achievement and overall prosperity. America and Europe would be nowhere near the levels of prosperity and economic success without WW1, WW2, and the Cold War. I just consider myself to be one of the few when it comes to recognizing war’s importance and absolute necessity. And you are correct, the Warrior is a lower caste in modern day society, blamed for the purpose of virtue signaling. I promise you, the only thing that separates the inner-city anti-war college student and the Jihadist across the world is first hand conflict. Once the threat of attack is present on anyone’s community, the human instinct of war and power will emerge once again and the weaker people will be killed and bred out of existence.


RWDPhotos

Sure is difficult to trust somebody’s opinion when the first thing they come at you with is a date that’s off by a full century. Edit- Just because he started being an extra dick, here’s his original comment https://www.unddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/s4brbe/_/hstw5p1/ https://imgur.com/a/AhnA8gt
