    Ugh. This kind of hits hard.

    I know people who are active in the military (yes they are stupid and yes it doesn’t take much analysis to figure out they’re probably magats). In particular I know several who have been to Kuwait and seem to regularly get stationed there.

    I’ve known several people who died by suicide from PTSD from Kuwait, or Iraq.

    There’s a girl, she’s a sergeant. She’s in until 2028, been to Kuwait already. I don’t know if she’s even 23. She certainly doesn’t come off as a magat. But it doesn’t really matter. 23 is an adult yes. But to me? I’m 34? She’s just starting life out. To get killed in this kind of war is gross.

      And your point here besides pointlessly insulting everyone serving in the armed forces?
