I miss dri . I don ' t think he should have been banned . <| sep |> It could just be changed to Ingg . like the ing in drinking <| sep |> At this point , Nate probably doesn ' t give a fuck about piggybacking . The dude ' s making millions off of it . <| sep |> I did not know about this . I did not know he had been charged with a crime or had to stand trial . <| sep |> Did you grow up in a small town not on either of the left coasts ? That explains why you were taught the way you were . You wrote an excellent essay and hit the nail on the head . Welcome to the Trump Train and it has no brakes ! Get this patriot a coat ! <| sep |> My point is that joining the army pretty much IS bailing on your family for 6 months per year . Financially they ' re supported , and that ain ' t to be sniffed at , but YOU aren ' t there . You aren ' t there for your wife during morning sickness , you aren ' t there when she goes into labour , you aren ' t there for the kids ' first words or first steps , or any of that shit . Not only are you not there , but you ' re in a warzone , maybe getting killed , which is constant anxiety . If you die or step on an IED and get your legs and one arm blown off , you put a HUGE strain on an already stressed partner , and the military drops you like so many KGs of shrapnelscarred meat . Oh that ' s not so bad when I ' m the one actually getting shot at etc well good news , it ' s still fuckin voluntary so you don ' t have to do that AT ALL . maybe the fact that you don ' t have that lost generation like other countries have had , because you haven ' t had your cities firebombed to shit , because you haven ' t seen what war does to your civilian population , you are able to glorify war . It ' s not ingrained in your national consciousness how fucking awful it is .
