Drexel Professor 'tried not to vomit' when passenger gave up seat for soldier

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;52040707]But most servicemen would have enlisted knowing full well what the military does. Ultimately they were the ones who signed on that line, no one forced them to.[/QUOTE]

You're right, no one forced us to. We knew what we were going into. But its also not like we were the ones profiting over the wars over the last damn near 20 years. Most of us enlisted because we wanted something different, we wanted to make our families proud and be part of the few who served for our country. However, once that dotted line is signed you have little to no say in where you go and what you do.

Not to mention the public outcry that would come as a result.[/QUOTE]

Well he wouldn't be wrong.

[QUOTE=VeniVidiVici74;52038266]The US military is the most useless standing army in human history. With no borders, rights, or American lives to defend, the clout of 'soldiers are heroes' is an important one to maintain in a post-war MIC. But it's entirely mythical, and the rungs of fallen heroes are being buried by better-than-you dropouts, self important because they signed a part of their life away for the GI bill.

I don't care what people's personal opinions are on soldiers, and the tweet is certainly an exaggeration, but I too feel a bit indignant when cowards in fatigues are being rewarded for decades of war crimes.[/QUOTE]

You're totally right. We should dismantle the army right now. There is no use for it, all the countries of the world play nice and don't go to war any longer.

He would be though, Drexel University is a private university so he's not a public employee so them firing him for saying this wouldn't be illegal
