I don’t know if there are any active service members here on Lemmy. And if there are, if they’re even free to express an answer to this question.
But I was wondering what it must feel like for a serving soldier to be compelled to stand at attention and salute this man; this National Guard wash-out that has never actually served any day in his life but suddenly found himself in a position where men and women FAR better than him, have to salute him.
I was in the military, but I was kicked out because my penis snitched on my nose. Anyway, the entire time in there sucked. I had an instant after school hours where my house was hit in a drive by, my daughter had a bullet pass 2” by her leg and embed into a dresser next to her. My wife was freaking out. The officer in charge of my quarters didn’t let me go home to soothe my family, said there’s nothing I could do either way, and made me stay there mopping a fucking floor for the next four hours.
There was cocaine involved, then a base wide urinalysis the next morning. I learned, go figure, they were cracking down on a group of enlistees who were selling the drug on base. Go figure because I knew nothing about that; my story is more stupid, reckless and unexciting. I had gotten drunk and did some surprise cocaine at the bar with my civilian family member, the night before.
Honestly you line up with how some old Nam GIs I grew up around got caught, though for them it was weed and ended with that officer getting sent back in a box. Not even by them, he pissed off some other unit on his way to go snitch.
This photo brings up a question I have.

The military is filled with pieces of shit.
What? I’ve never seen that phrase before
Military people are the fucking weirdest I swear
He is referring to drug testing

Probably just offered to share some cocaine with the hot CO in order to get laid. We’ve all been there.
