This has more to do with propaganda. Where are the discounts for all other contributors to our functional society? Do the garbage people or the electrical worker or sewer worker get discounts?
Its all part of a much larger scale propaganda across our countries history.
A lot of seniors are just assholes but not part of a murder industry. Lots of military worship straight up feeds into fascism and nationalism. Fuck that.
A ton of them later become cops too.
So you guarded a pointless fucking parking lot at a base in New Mexico, whoopdeedoo, you’re a vet for life and everyone will bend over for you. But the teachers at our nearby school just keep getting fucked over? All the government workers who ensure our basic infrastructure doesn’t work don’t matter?
I really don’t get why a senior ex-military has better benefits than a normal senior. One is a benefit everyone applies and another is a benefit that a specific subset applies, and it’s not like they do things that are more important than those that work everyday in the country to keep it running.
A kid spends 5 years in military, lifetime discounts. A teacher spends 5 years teaching, lifetime debt. I really don’t get the point.
I was highlighting the fallacy in your argument, but that was clearly a waste of time.
You obviously don’t know the history of veterans in the U.S. or what brought this type of culture to the U.S.
You probably see the military as an extension of a government you hate (understandable) and think of its members as fully endorsing said government (not correct at all).
That you get butthurt over a discount says a lot about you though.
If it’s due to history of mistreatment and lack of care, then by that logic we should give all minorities a discount as well.
But here’s the thing. Today’s soldier ain’t even CLOSE to dealing with what Vietnam vets or older vets dealt with.
Today’s wannabe Punisher is just a likely wife beater loser who had no direction in life, served a few years, became even more bro, and then went to a policing agency afterwards where he could flex his control fetish over the general populace. That motherfucker that needlessly makes every interaction more intense than necessary needs a blanket of worship for simply having signed up to serve in a military that basically takes anyone? How special.
Our garbage collectors do more difficult and thankless work today than most military. Tending to the Officers golf courses doesn’t warrant shit.
I’m not the same person of the original comment. For you to personally insult me while not bothering to read the name of the user says a lot about you too though.

You get pissed at senior discounts too?
😂

It’s all tilted for a reason. Fuck that reason.

Excellent example. Completely agree. This is part of the point I was making.

I hope you have a great day.
You think that’s an insult?
I’m commenting on a behavior, not a person.
Doesn’t matter if are not OP, your sentiment is clearly the same and my comment still stands.
Your comment, however, screams that you are faux offended, so you can feel like you are on the high road.
Edit: No place I know l let’s you have a vet AND a senior discount. It’s one or the other
I see student discounts a lot. What has a student done that an electrician hasn’t, so that the student deserves a discount but not the electrician?
The right answer: Who gives a shit?
It’s a STUPID FUCKING argument that just highlights a really fucking petty person.
Now if a person acts entitled to a discount, then that is an entirely different story.
