So I constantly hear about how those in the army ask their relatives or friends to ship them an xbox or take one with them on deployment because supposedly its boring there.
What?! So wait.. Let me get this straight... They have time to play games there? WTF? A soldier should do nothing else but train or fight IMO. That is until they get back home. In a 3rd world army if someone would ask for an Xbox, they'd be laughed at at best. Just saying...
I wonder if Navy Seals play Xbox on deployment too...
Imagine, some Taliban sneak up on Army barracks while the soldiers were playing their Xbox or Playstation. How is that situation going to end?
And another thing. I could never understand why is it that when soldiers get back home, they walk around streets in their full uniform, pants, boots, jacket, beret and all. They go like this to college to register for classes, to the store, everywhere! I mean, I understand, you served... You are proud... You want everyone to see how proud you are. Ok, good for you. Thank you for serving. But why are you wearing your uniform everywhere? You are no longer in the army.
Finally, what is up with all the soldiers who are bums laying in the street in Manhattan in New York City begging for money? I mean.. These people risked their lives for their country.. How is it possible that they are bums? In Russia/Ukraine, I'd understand something like this.. That's just how things often are there sadly... But this is America!
I thought soldiers get huge discounts on food, housing and education.... Whats going on?! I mean... Even if a soldier cannot find a job, they should be able to get welfare at least, no? And if they have PTSD or whatever, they should be able to get SSI. They surely deserve welfare a lot more than thousands of others who are on it...
