    what is a “hemi”

    V8 engines from Chrysler.

    why should I care if I got passed by it?

    Nobody cares, really.

    all veterans deserve respect

    They don’t but even so, odds are this guy didn’t serve in active conflict thus not a war veteran. Joining the arms forces does not make you a war veteran and thus deserving of your respect.

      I would argue that they deserve less respect that no veterans. Imagine being so stupid that you join a war crime force.

        Not necessarily stupid. There’s a reason military recruitment primarily comes from the poorest parts of the nation with the least opportunities

          Maybe if my neighbors stopped voting for the party that wants them to stay poor, they would have more opportunities besides being tools of American Imperialism?

            I mean yeah I’d love for that to happen. Doesn’t change the fact that there are plenty of people who have/continue to see it as the only realistic path out of whatever situation they’re in. We’re not in disagreement that the root cause of it is bad.
