I skipped the steps of the application process that would have clued the agency in on my lack of fitness for the position. I made no effort to hide my public loathing of the agency, what it stands for, and the administration that runs it. And they offered me the job anyway.

    Comparing vets to involuntarily disabled people is a big stretch. Most vets alive today are people who knowingly decided to go kill people for oil money. Dont bullshit me with “they didnt know better”. Nobody goes to afghanistan without knowing about the atrocities that the US has comitted there. Being poor and needing the money doesnt justify being a murderer. If you applied the same logic to ICE, people here would be apalled.

      without knowing about the atrocities that the US has comitted there

      As staggering quantity of American teenagers, at least the majority, are truly that ignorant. They didn’t have a real education and their pastor told them that brown people fuck goats and kids and the US army will help stop that.

      I don’t think vets volunteered to be disabled.

      Most vets alive today are people who knowingly decided to go kill people for oil money.

      I’m guessing you’ve spent time around like, 1 or 2 veterans max.

      Do you have literally any source to back that claim up? (I know you don’t but I’m asking anyway.)

      Nobody goes to afghanistan without knowing about the atrocities that the US has comitted there.

      You might if you are broke as fuck and not on the internet 24/7.

      Not everyone lives the same privileged life as you.
