Reply to comment by Frost1235 in Veterans' mental health: 'There is help and there is hope' by greenhousecrtv

You did a good job putting a bunch of words together. Unfortunately, they don’t add up to much of anything coherent.

I do agree that there’s a lot of dumb people in this sub Reddit though.

So… what did you mean by “it’s almost like our skill set could be used to protect the constitution and average people of the United States” that sounds a lot like the tough guy talk people spout when they talk about over throwing the “tyrannical government”.

Trying to get me banned? You're a POS.

For some reason, maybe because of Hollywood or the games on market, people think the US military is some extreme fighting force.

No, it's fucking not. Without doubt, the special operations community gets some special loving when it comes to training, but the majority of the infantry functions are taught the fucking basics and then these basics are re-iterated over and over again.

Physical training? It's the same shit from the 50's even though the amount of support from sports medicine/kinesthetic specialists/other experts have attempted to improve training to be less damaging to the body.

I could go more in-depth, but I doubt it aligns with the context you're trying to push. The only skillset that makes any veteran useful is the ability to communicate and stand together through adversity.

What fucking use is fire and maneuver when you have NO ONE using mortar or air support? Oh, you wanna assault a building with a corrupt politician? Do you have intel on them? Do you have anything besides your cosplay grade Kevlar?

Overthrowing a tyrannical government is a fucking pipe dream. But kicking corporations in the dick and yeeting this political puppets is the real goal.
