They have the same error as most people do though about military service .... you are not defending our rights while in the service ... just following orders of people who can only take them away or limit them.

I never thought I was defending anyone's rights while I was in the service ... just there to kill commies.

So wait, you weren't all like "come and try me!", at which point they all went home?

Did they go home out of fear, or from disgust?

Trust me. As this is a LGBT themed thread, the distinction makes a huge difference in the meaning of "come and try me".


some killed themselves ... rather than deal with my squadron ... and they were the smart ones

Is "squadron" a group of coworkers or a pet name?

Braggadocio in either case.

Of course, we still need to determine causation.

Fear or disgust?

You do remember your oath you swore, right? There was a part about supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I did not kill anyone. I was not a soldier. I was a medic. My oath never expired.
