why do cons despise government workers, but “support” the military?

[Harpy Eagle]

What does the military produce that other people would willingly buy?

What does the police force produce that other people would willingly buy?

What does the fire department produce that other people would willingly buy?

I would pay for my local militia to protect MY NATION...Not for an ever-expansionist Wilsonian global hegemony.

Cops are grossly overrated, and in fact have been turned into a cash flow for overbolated gubmint.

Most fire departments are voluntary.

On top of all that....

“Voluntary “ fire departments is a misnomer . They get paid .

Did you know that many volunteer firefighters are also military?

Do you know how many Fed employees used to be in the military?

 

[harmonica]

wrong--they are not
my dad worked for the government and he said there were a lot of lazy bums
the military is TOTALLY different
you are godamn out of your mind to think differently
did you serve?

I did. I was in the Marine Corps from 1997-2002. Am I worthy to have an opinion? If not then ignore the next sentence. If I am worthy then I think I was absurdly overpaid. I was making way more money than other 21 year olds throughout the country.

you think you were over paid?
we were under paid in the 80s
what was your yearly salary?

 

[Wry Catcher]

Conservatives do. The blob told people at his rallies to rough people up…. And of course everyone cheered.

Nope. If you think true conservatives are Republican you're out of your league here.
You don't even know what violence is.

Maybe you ought to explain to the readers what is a True Conservative and how a True Conservative might respond to Donald Trump's Presidency?

A "true" conservative knows that he/she has not had any representation for decades. They are able to step outside of the two party paradigm and see the truth of the system. The truth is that the there is no truth in the system. There is only falsehoods and lies.

So a true conservative seems to be a curmudgeon, in your opinion?

A true Lefty. hen you have nothing call names.

LOL, do you understand the meaning of this symbol (?)?

I heard a curmudgeon, I did not call him a curmudgeon.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I understand that, but you left all of those people out of your initial post about the military...why is that?

Those people are you now talking about, the support units, communication units, Intel personnel, logistics personnel are being bashed in this very thread by your fellow Trump sheep for not being combat people.

Sorry Gator I appreciated every order you filled for us.

How could I have done anything for you when you have never seen the insides of a barracks in your life.

You are a fraud.

The term stolen valor comes to mind

Says the guy who just demonstrated the only thing he knows about the military is what he has learned in Democratic Party Talking Points...

To steal the old phrase...I have forgotten more about the military than you have ever known.

You choose to ignore the military that is not combat ops in your post and then get butthurt when you are called out on it.

I chose to ignore WHAT, liar?

You and Timmy said there are only 2% of the military engaged in combat ops ... And I just spanked and educated BOTH your asses by giving you the real truth.

YOU responded back with that 'CYA BULLSHIT' - "Uh...yeah, I, uh...knew that."

Now, after embarrassing yourself by siding with Timmy, someone who has never served yet is trying to tell us about military service and combat ops, you want to try to spin MORE bullshit by claiming you somehow have forgotten more (sounds like you forgot ALL of it) than I ever knew in 30 years of service - AND COUNTING - as a soldier and a civilian, having served in multiple combat operations and supporting more now?!

Bwuhahahaha....And you dare mention 'Stolen Valor'm! F* YOU, you lying little cockroach.

You want to spin stories, share what YOU have done? Go for it. You won't hear me attack your service....until you make false declarations or try to attack my or anyone else's service.

You have already demonstrated in your comments you don't know squat ... Or rather, you have proven you know as much as TIMMY does..

Cool story bro!

You should think about getting paid for your fiction...you have one hell of an imagination

 

[tycho1572]

they are the same thing. We haven’t had a draft in 40 + years . We don’t have volunteers, we have a professional military . They are just as much fed employees as some border patrol worker .

Why do cons have this double standard with fed workers ?

And for that matter , why is the military being paid during the shutdown?

How are government workers and military personnel the same?

A police force is a fairly new thing in the course of history. Nations have always had militaries.

Not at all, why do you say that, wry? That seems to be coming from the left

I responded to this comment, "The truth is that the there is no truth in the system. There is only falsehoods and lies."

Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease.

Seems his answer was just that. Was I wrong?

They both have the same employer, the US Fed Govt. They are both paid by the same people, the US tax payers.

you think you were over paid?
we were under paid in the 80s
what was your yearly salary?

I had no expenses except haircuts and razors. Everything else was provided. I still made $1,600 a month on top of that. That means I had about $1,500 of disposable income a month and boy did we dispose of it. Local businesses around bases like our bloated paycheck but I think the average taxpayer is getting the shaft. I even received over $40,000 worth of education when I got out.

By the way. The military gets too much glory too. A cop's job is way more dangerous than a Marine in uniform. On top of that, he doesn't get 15-20 year breaks in 'peace time'. I think cops should get more pay and more praise than military.

 

[Billy000]

They just cherry pick what fits their agenda. It’s not like they have actual principles. They aren’t smart or mature enough for that. The GOP speaks and their voters believe everything they say.

That might carry weight if it was not coming from one of the most unprincipled immature posters here. As it is you're more like sit, stay, roll over material.

But see, I have an actual history of criticizing democrats and leftwing policy. I’m not going to pretend that Dems are as despicable as republicans, but I certainly acknowledge when I think they are way off base.

Can you post a link to a post where you criticized Democrats?

CONGRATULATIONS to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Hell I got a lot more than that.

Oh, heavens to mergatroid!....What, oh what would Murica do if it didn't have an immense professional military, intervening in every available foreign war and maintaining bases in over 100 countries around the globe?!?

but what were your hours??
we worked a lot more than 8 hours per day added up
also, we are not arguing pay--we are arguing civilians vs military are different
