    See how the characters are drawn with the proportions of a smol bean? This is because you’d have to be a baby brained liberal to express these sentiments.

    I’ll occasionally see guys like that, wearing a hat with Korean or Vietnam war veteran. You have to be a demonic sludge monster to be proud of fighting in those wars on the American side and yet they wear their veteran hats to get $5 off at Dairy Queen.

      Yeah, having a better understanding of those wars than when I was younger (especially Korea). I now completely understand why both my grandfather’s who were in Korea never wanted to talk about it. Like they’d talk about the time at base and whatnot but really never much about what happened when they were in Korea. Especially my one grandfather who was in the Air Force.

        My great-grandfather was an army psychiatrist during WW2 (Japanese theater) and Korea. I only knew him when I was a really small kid, but yeah he also never wanted to talk about it. He probably wasn’t proud he went to Korea.

        He’d talk about being a doctor and being overseas, but I never saw him wear a veteran’s hat or an American flag pin or anything.

          Yeah, that’s pretty similar. I know the one basically told his family repeatedly that he didn’t want to be buried with honors (I think that’s what they call it) and actually adhered to the request. My other grandfather was buried with the whole ceremony but I don’t think he really would have wanted it. A lot of my family are complete chuds so it pretty much was going to happen come hell or high water.

    i guess he could be in his 90s if the artist wasn’t very good at drawing wrinkles? are there even any living ww2 vets anymore?

      Very few. Both my grandfathers were WWII vets, and they’ve both been dead at least a decade now. My grandma built F-4s during the war, she’s still alive and she will be 101 in March.

    I fucked up this conversation in real life. I was talking to a vet ass boomer and he was talking about how it was a rough time. I asked him if it was because of all the crimes the government tricked him into doing. Turns out that wasn’t what he ment at all

      One time I was knocking doors for planned parenthood because they were paying $15/hr and I desperately needed work. It sucked and I got a lot of awful abuse, specifically being called baby killer with some frequency. One time a guy in a Vietnam Veteran hat called me that and before I knew what happened I had pointed at the hat and said, “Takes one to know one!” and he went literally beet red and I realized what I had said and literally ran away. I wish I could take credit for it but istg it just flowed through me and he and I reacted to it at the same time
