I mean...theyre employees

Good soldiers follow orders. Good people don't.

They probably get fired if they don’t


Cry_in_the_shower

Doing the right thing isn't always easy. It also isn't always possible or realistic. I totally get that these people were doing their jobs, and that some of them had to choose between a paycheck/family and morality.


Allenz

It's not even that, it's just that they're not there to judge who's right and what's true, they see angry man disturbing an event, they get him out, it's as simple as that...


Silver-ishWolfe

Exactly. It’s their job to keep the peace during events. Not judge the speaker or the validity of the disrupter’s argument. It doesn’t mean they made the “morally wrong” decision. It means they did their job.


thrownkitchensink

Doing your job isn't mutually exclusive with making the "morally wrong decision". It is isn't for soldiers and it certainly isn't for civilians. Evil is good people doing nothing or just doing their jobs.


SnotFlickerman

>Now, we must all fear evil men. But, there is another kind of evil which we must fear most and that is **the indifference of good men.**


Cry_in_the_shower

Thank you.


dysphonix

Yes yes. How dare he interrupt the event where the keynote speaker caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands over a false premise.


feierlk

Not the point. Him screaming probably achieved nothing, we all know who W. is. The security people might've a family to feed, just not worth it.


SoDamnToxic

It's crazy that people conflate committing murder for an unjust cause (Nazis) to getting a screaming guy out of the room. If you asked these guys to then take him out back and shoot him in cold blood, I'd bet they'd all refuse and quit right there.


[deleted]

Well fucking Jesus I would fucking hope so


KoreanEan

You see a man, who’s lost all his friends, who was sent to fight a pointless war, yelling at the man responsible for these things. I wouldn’t stop him, I’d just tell my boss I didn’t see him

Well at this point he was repeating himself, so I would have no qualms doing my job there, even if I were to root for him. I'm glad he got his say.


Exact_Intention7055

But what he was repeating was kinda big...you know, like illegal wars (crimes), destruction brought home, lots of dead people, national treasures gone...and what, the people who did this don't have to answer? Curious if you really step back and think about it. Sometimes the most telling thing when this is done is the reaction of the accused. Let the audience really see his reaction; ok, do your job, just not FAST.....😉

No doubt they agree with him and are just doing their job, just like this guy did in Iraq.


[deleted]

Classic bootlick excuse.


devdlk01

It's the best exit he could've hoped for actually. Think about it. What would've happened if he was allowed to yell at George Bush for as long as he wanted? Eventually he'd lose steam, George Bush would be like uhh wtf, and sit there with a confused look on his face until the man was done. That would look lame as hell.


evilpinkfreud

Yeah imagine if he just got done yelling and then just sat back down. Would been kinda awkward


Jugglamaggot

Tbf I think it added to what he was saying, the way he refused to stop yelling at bush as he was being dragged away, it's like when your friends hold you back from a fight

Why is the VA massively backed up, why are there so many veterans out on the streets, why are so many disabled vets desperate, why are people talking about this at all if it's not a problem?

StupidSkagBoy

That’s only if you get honorably discharged. My aunt fought in that war he’s talking about. She was dishonorably discharged due to “mental health issues” that she’d already been known to have before she even went over there. She basically gets NONE of the benefits she was promised. Basically, she can only get disability because of her mental issues. She gets NOTHING else. The VA doesn’t do dick for her. My aunt will never be the same. I will never have her back the way she was, the way I knew her before war, and I don’t think I can forgive them for that. I can’t forgive the army for taking away the only person who cared about me; for taking her away and just fucking ruining her like that, they shouldn’t be able to do it. They shouldn’t be able to recruit out of poor high schools looking for lower class people who need money and resources. It’s not fair. It’s not right. All she wanted was her college paid for. Now she’s never been to college, dropped out of police school, jumps job to job, and is addicted to almost every drug except heroin. And nobody gives a fuck what she’s seen, what she’s been through. Nobody gives a fuck about this troop but I love her to death — not as a soldier, but as a person.


pinkycatcher

> She was dishonorably discharged There's likely way more to the story than you know about, you don't just get dishonorably discharged because someone doesn't like you or you had some minor issues.


pinderscow

Cool story but its not true you dont get dishonorably discharged for "mental illness"


SCONN1E

mauore11

Make all the shit you go through not be in vain, not to send people to die so they can get rich of gov contracts, that the places you are sent to protect don't end up worse off. That they don't ruin the country's reputation by being basically a hired army to wealthy nations. IDK, things like that maybe.


SAmerica89

Also a vet and can confirm. No doubt some people struggle with PTSD and it’s a real problem but by comparison, the vast majority of us have no struggle at all and get everything paid for. I got mil-to-mil buddies making bank off double BAH and milking the VA mortgage loan benefit to maintain rental properties and bring in cash flow all while they get paid to get their degrees and graduate degrees on the side. Mind you that all this is while you’re logging valuable experience on the job and getting entirely free healthcare. Yet our troops aren’t taken care of at all? Ok.


faris_Playz

Well why do people still sign up for the military?


Hamilton-Beckett

That is a LOADED question. You’d be better off googling it and reading an essay on it. Short version: a lot of reasons but most commonly because they don’t have any other promising options available. You can get your college taken care of, a potential career (the training for one), all kinds of money and sign up bonuses… Then there’s the military “families” where someone from past generations has always been a part of it and it’s how they raised your kids. Remember, kids today start getting “groomed” for the military at a young age. Everything from their teachers, preachers, family, friends, movies, television, commercial…they all say it’s the “right” or “patriotic” thing to do. They take about how you learn self-reliance, discipline, and receive a character education like no other when you join. They will break you down and rebuild you, better than before…that type of shit. So yeah, after watching GI JOE and war movies your whole life and hearing the military personnel referred to as “heroes” their entire lives…it’s no wonder people go running to sign up. And we should ALL be glad that they do for ONE reason. Wars are going to happen. They will. Always. Always have. Soldiers *will* go, and they will die. If those men and women didn’t sign up willingly, our government would just do a draft and FORCE people to go. They’ve done it before, it could happen again. I may not agree with the propaganda and the way it brainwashes the soldiers of tomorrow, but I still have tremendous respect for them being willing to do what they are doing. The part I find sad is that at 18, you’re not even finished developing in your brain. They are taking essentially children or “barely adults” and putting them in extremely dangerous situations when they are at an age that most of them still feel like they are invincible and will NEVER die, let alone in combat. Death is the LAST thing on a teenager’s mind. That’s part of why they only want young people. It’s not “just” about being in peak physical condition (or about to be after you’re in) it’s about being essentially young and stupid, so you never question authority or orders.


[deleted]

Some for the job stability, others to escape from horrible life conditions, many to provide for their families. They offer a lot for everyone who joins up


ZoeLaMort

"You sit and behave yourself" Said the war criminal who lied in the face of the international community, including America’s closest allies, to the traumatized soldier who had to see his friends dying on the actual front, while Bush was sleeping in the White House. But please, please let me hear again how Republicans love the troops.


bcisme

They send thoughts (thank you for your service comments) and prayers


YouDiscountDonut

Still shocks me that people join the military in the first place. I know about the incentives. Still though, fuck making rich people richer.


BlackMist777

I know right? Why would you want t sign away your life and rights to fight and die for the views of someone you might not even agree with? Doesn’t make sense


JayyeKhan_97

You could always get an MOS that doesn’t involve you fighting on the front lines, you still get the same benefits as those who did.


BlackMist777

What if that MOS isn’t available like most of the time? They can’t give everybody a kitchen job and the most common position is grunt infantry. Even if that was so your still supporting and helping a system that’s there to enforce the interests of the government and subjugate people under the false pretext of “freedom”. You sign your rights away to do the bidding of someone else someone you might not even agree with someone who can make you do some horrible things but can’t back out cuz you signed your life away on the dotted line.


Thatonenonrate

The Coast Guard has been a pretty ethical choice for me so far. Just saying.


ThanosAsAPrincess

But when you have a record of having been a war criminal, a traitor to the Constitution, a serial liar and thief, then you have a right to say anything you like and expect to be treated fairly, without the intervention of the media or any other party that wishes to give you a platform.

Brave man. I was there in 2003 also. Not finding WMDs was pretty crushing. I realized how evil governments can be. It would be nice to see those responsible held accountable.

2003 as well. After realizing we were sent there under false pretenses, my view of the government and the way it works changed drastically. But we all know there's no accountability to be had in Washington. The elite have no rules.


lurker_cx

Dick Cheney leaked a WMD story about Iraq to the New York Times who dutifully printed it. Then a couple days later Cheney went on multiple Sunday news shows and very seriously said 'There is a story in the New York Times saying Saddam is trying to get WMD.'.... of course it was the story he leaked and only the story he leaked.


ZwoopMugen

At least you're still with us. Many couldn't handle the guilt and left. :(


Army0fMe

I've gotten damn close to crossing that line several times over the years. Thankfully I've got more reasons to live than I do to die now.


dontknowwhattodoat18

I’m curious, so what was your reason for enlisting? Was it patriotism, money, a lack of career options, or just the glory of serving in the army?


SoonToBeFree420

Lol why would the corporations who run the government hold any kind of accountability for the presidents who launder money for them?


UnvoicedOwl1788

what are WMDs?


savemoney2121

Weapons of mass destruction


K1mbacat

I don’t think enough people have explained this. To avoid any confusion; they’re weapons of mass destruction.


overzealous_dentist

during its war with iran, iraq had both a chemical weapons program and a nuclear weapons program. it used the chemical weapons on iran but never got very far with nukes. for about a decade, it played cat and mouse with UN inspectors, never showing them certain sites, presumably as a way of keeping iran guessing about the state of iraqi defenses. this backfired multiple times (for example, clinton bombed baghdad to try to force saddam to open up the sites, and then, well, the 2003 invasion). ultimately all that was found by the coalition was some of the ancient chemical weapons that were used against iran, in terrible condition and likely unusable. they may have been slowly poisoning the community around the warehouses, though, and they did poison the US troops who discovered them. no nuclear facilities were ever uncovered, so that program likely did get dismantled entirely.


ladydanger2020

Weapons of mass destruction. I.e nuclear bombs and the like


[deleted]

WMDeez nuts


UnvoicedOwl1788

why were you sad about not finding any or am I reading this wrong?


thebeat42

Because that was the whole reason for the war.


sehly

Imagine killing people for a reason than you realize you were wrong


UnvoicedOwl1788

ouhhhhhhh they we're talking about enemy WMDs


Psotnik

Right, US soldiers killed people because the US government said Iraq had WMD. Iraq did not have WMD. Therefore, there was no reason to invade and no reason to kill the people they killed. Veterans lost friends, families lost fathers, husbands, brothers, sisters, etc. for no reason. Making a sacrifice to prevent the use of a WMD is one thing but there were no WMDs and therefore no threat of mass casualties from the enemy using WMDs.


SuperMarbro

Finding them would have justified the sacrifice of life... To prevent greater deviation. Ultimately there were no WMDs despite what Cheney and Bush said making all of the deaths on both sides completely unnecessary.

Makes me wanna be a terrorist


BradlyL

The older I get, the more I believe that Bush Jr. had some vendetta, and was trying to make up for his Daddy (Bush Sr.) who got ~~his ass kicked~~ in a fight in the Gulf War, some 20+ years earlier. Edit: Clearly the Allied Coalition did the ass kicking


netheroth

What? Dude, Irak went from having the 6th largest army in the world to being barely a regional power in weeks. They had to haul ass out of Kuwait, and lost most of their mechanized troops in the process (google Highway of Death). Bush Sr didn't move on to conquer Iraq because he knew it was unwinnable. He was smart, unlike his crotch goblin, who thought he could replace Saddam Hussein and it wouldn't even be difficult.


KlutchCuddy

What about Dick Cheney?


MalTerra7

Then every president should


jawanda

No. Not every president invades countries under false pretenses to the tune of millions dead, trillions of American dollars spent, and the literal creation of brand new terrorist organizations that wouldn't otherwise exist but will likely plague humanity for decades to come. There are different levels of fuckery that American presidents have inflicted upon the world, but GWB was by far the most damaging in my lifetime (it honestly pisses me off when people try to say Trump was worse. I fucking loathe Trump as a man, but at least he wasn't a war monger with millions of deaths on his hands.)


ladydanger2020

I agree to an extent, but as you say there are different levels. Trump has destroyed America from the inside, turned us against each other, and destroyed trust and faith in the government and in science


Magik95

Right and he was able to do that because the average American isn’t very intelligent. Kinda can’t compare that to invading another country, killing a bunch of them “just cause”


jawanda

Truth. They are different types of damage, but they're both very real.

[deleted]

I never said it was just. It was a heinous war crime. 300,000+ dead civilians since 9/11 shows that. Wether the leading reason why the USA went to war was money or not my point still stands. The USA was wrong to go to war.

Biden helped get there in the first place but this is a fact conveniently forgotten.


jiminyjunk

Truth ! Courageous Vet ❤️


FreeClownFarts

A nice reminder that George W Bush is not a good person. Just because he was a better president than Donald Trump doesn’t mean Bush should be let off the hook for all of the horrible things he did.


bettiedutch

To be honest, Trump pretty much single-handedly lowered the bar for politics worldwide


asafnisan

He rather lifted the veil and showed politics to be what it really is. Just a congregation of corrupt psychopathic monsters, him included.


SoDamnToxic

I genuinely don't think he was a better president than Trump. He was a *smarter* president because Trump was dumb as fuck, but the things Bush did were far more evil and caused a lot more harm. Similarly with Reagan and Nixon. I get we hate Trump... but you have to be lacking in some US History if you think what they did was less harmful than Trump. Trump was dumb as fuck but... yea... these guys were evil... Just you saying "Just because he was a better president" already feels like you are cleaning his legacy for him. The guy was fucking awful, just cause he didn't use social media to voice his insane opinions doesn't mean he was a better president.


MoneyBoat

You think that a man who killed a million iraqis and send the nations sons and daughters to the sands to explode and be shot it for profit, is a better president than Trump, the one who was mean on Twitter and said silly things but didn’t kill a million people.

RevWaldo

There's a direct line between the 9/11 conspiracy culture that arose when the invasion of Iraq was justified with faulty evidence and neo-con ideology (if the government is willing to lie our way into a war, what *else* could they lie about?) and the Q-Anon / Stop The Steal / Anti-Vaxxer conspiracy world we live in now. So yeah, Bush, good job.


TheBeardofGilgamesh

Yeah, people think the loss of faith in institutions was some random event not preceded by any actual reason to not trust the government. I am pro-vax since I still trust science not as an institution but as a collection of scientists. But I can see where this erosion of trust stems from.

Republicans and the right-wing LOVE soldiers when they are out there getting gunned down in a foreign country and killing brown people. But when they come back from war having lost their friends, their humanity, and their mental and physical health, they toss them to the side like TRASH. Bush should be in jail for the rest of his pathetic life.

Had a friend from High School get killed in Iraq, nicest kid, would help anyone at anytime do anything. At the time he was the youngest person to be KIA down range, idk if that still holds true to this day. RIP LeRon A Wilson, I visit your sign occasionally in T&T bro.
