No, I think they're smarter than that.
Just because you started as a medic (a prerequisite to becoming a WO in the discipline, and also a term that spans from direct combat action to filing papers in a conus office) doesn't negate the accuracy of my description of you.Teslag said:Get Off My Lawn said:

Im a vet. You sound like a d bag for suggesting that.
Did you serve?

Congrats, I guess? If you're attempting to establish credibility or earn respect w fellow vets - id recommend listing actions and proof of value - rather than beating your chest about completing routine army training and being assigned to a unit.Teslag said:
Being a medic was not a prerequisite to being a warrant officer but carry on. I was in a ground ambulance unit.
Sounds like a guy I worked with a few years back, Said he was in the Army and worked with Rangers, Delta's and Green Berets. Come to find out, he was just the supply guy. Whole department ragged on him till he transferred to court division. Dude was such a tool.Get Off My Lawn said:Congrats, I guess?

Just make sure your daughters are included in your draft. I know equality is so important to all you Karen soccer moms and fruits.shiftyandquick said:

I get it.GAC06 said:Does your definition of "near combat" include being hundreds of miles from it?Stat Monitor Repairman said:[checks notes]GAC06 said:
With drones it's not hard to call in artillery, and the Ukrainians know what they're doing. It would be colossally stupid as well as unnecessary to have US personnel anywhere near combat.

Feel free to provide any information to the contrary.
Escalation is real in this conflict. Just like when some of us rolled our eyes when Ukraine fanbois said this war was going to be a bargain when the original 40-some-odd billion was budgeted for Ukraine.
Some of us see where this is logically headed, and others want to talk tackti-cool stuff on the ukraine thread and pound their chest and pretend Biden is Reagan.
Hope that helps. for the record, we already have troops over there.

I posted the video too and these goobers sure are sounding like leftist memes with their walls of words trying to explain how brandon isn't going back on what he said and that he is totally sound and functional with all his talks about their precious proxy war.

Come at me.
I am not arguing the US government can't come up with $100 billion or 200 a year for the next few years (though hopefully with a GOP house enough republicans stop that). I am not sure 2 trillion dollar deficits are sustainable though, that long.Rossticus said:
To preface, I'm not arguing that it's a good thing to spend this much money. Just that we can. How long did we sustain operations in Iraq and Afghanistan? How much did we spend on those ventures over what period of time? What's the comparative ratio to what we've given Ukraine at this point?
Now, whether or not we should or the resultant impact of sustaining it is an entirely different matter. But, theoretically, sustainable? Yup. We can sustain it if we want to.

Ive got no issue with any degree of honorable service… but if you want to talk tough and fluff your resume as a basis for credibility - don't cry about getting called out about said resume fluffing.Teslag said:
Vets arguing with each other over whose service means more is one of the *****iest things I've ever seen. I did what I was asked to do. I helped and cared for who I was supposed to help. I'm not a hero. I don't see myself as anything more than someone who felt the need to serve and did. My body is a wreck. I have a TBI from rollover accident in on deployment and I'll never be completely normal. I'm extremely sorry if my service doesn't live up to your standards. And I'd do it all over again.

The impact of Biden’s disastrous and deadly surrender in Afghanistan is still being felt. Biden is having to deploy more troops than were in Afghanistan to Poland and Taiwan in an attempt to convince our enemies we are committed to our allies.
