minus-square@Hellsfire29link-4•10 days agoI get free healthcare, Free College, paid time off, paid sick leave, paid paternity leave… Lives in USA. But I’m employed, so I get those things.
minus-square@Hellsfire29link6•10 days agoBut the catch is that I was in the army. And did a tour in Afghanistan. 100% disabled as well. If I served my country and got all 5 of those things, why can’t the USA make it universal? No profit in that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•10 days agoCool, you served imperialism. Not the flex you think it is.
minus-square@Hellsfire29link2•10 days agoI was making an example. Not a flex. But I do have something you can flex, thou. Friendship.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•10 days agoHopefully like my friend who served in the marines in afghanistan you came out leftist. Your comment is kind.
minus-square@Hellsfire29link-5•10 days agoI don’t like our president any more than his predecessor. Nor the replacement. Our government failed us. I served under Bush Jr, and then he extended our tour. So I’ve been mad at him ever since, along with his other decisions. Did I come out leftist? I went in right leaning and came out more centrist. To be honest. Glad your friend came back alive. Afghanistan sucked.
