3. That's what I've been doing for a long time now
They just whine about how they are the sole provider (as if there aren't many reservists in this situation also), or about how they don't have to because others are doing it for them, or about how they don't care about the war (they just want their tax cut) or the soldiers should have thought about war before they signed up(when I tried to sign up, I don't remember being told that I would be used as a forced mercenary for Halliburton). This election has showed me who I can respect as my friends (and I've cut off a lot of them).

It's disgusting the things I hear when I call them out for the rat bastards that they are. One guy told me "why do you care, the military is just another form of welfare"!!!! From same moron "we spend a lot of money on the military, it's only logical that they are used as much as possible". Of course all this is coming from a 27-year-old "man", who still lives with mommy, has never HAD to work (he did work) to pay a mortgage, for food, car, insurance, etc, as MOMMY does all of it, she even still cooks all his meals for him even though she works 2 jobs so to pay for a college education even though he doesn't have anything else to do but go to school part time!!! He gets to sit behind his computer while he supports the killing and maiming of countless innocents for NOTHING but money for people who already have more than they will every be able to spend.

Sorry for the long and illogical rant. I'm still reeling from the "fact" (will never believe this was an totally fair election) 51% of "Americans" (can't call them that) have handed this man the power to inflict even worse damage upon the world. I'm so fucking scared what he will accomplish not having to worry about be re-selected.
