The military

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by buster-, May 20, 2014.

  1. According to some people I recently met on here all military/veterans are drug/alcohol abusers. According to this same group of people veterans/military personnel are also all crazy as well. I think stereotyping any pool of people is ridiculous as no one statement can blanket anyone. What are people's thoughts on this?

  2. Well most of veterans do have problems since they have traumas, they seen shit, they gotta be on alert 24/7. They can't close eyes. So when it's over, they still have that aptitude. But the governement is not helping them, so they're on their own.

  3. But ofcourse, I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

  8. You have my support Crash. Thanks to you and all military that have served our country! Just remember...some people are never happy unless they find fault in others (whether it's accurate or not) but fail to see the fault in themselves

  9. People like you Crash and fellow military have put their lives on the line to protect others. We should show you respect not blatantly clump you into a stereotype.
