This dude plans to run over Donald Trump
Based
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this person has never once done anything that would actually help service members or veterans.
And they support Trump who publicly hates veterans.
That's because "Support our troops" has never been about supporting the actual humans in the military--it's always been about supporting the wars those troops are fed into and the administrations that wage them.
To be generous, some of it might also come from memories of shitty treatment of returning soldiers in the Vietnam era. But for all of my adult life, it has just been a rebuttal to people expressing anti-war sentiment. The exact same way that "Back the Blue" is a rebuttal to people protesting police violence.
support our military industrial complex
But he flies an American flag and has a bunch of shirts and hats with a flag on it!
I have personally helped two veterans out of a downward spiral. One I helped from homelessness all the way to being the foreman to a crew of dedicated home remodelers (he made $60k+ per year). I bailed them out, multiple times, and paid their legal costs because our system of "justice" is abusive and designed to prey on the poor. I NEVER thank a service member for their service and I never do any symbolic theatre like the dipshit on the photo who I guarantee you has never done a thing to help a vet in his life. People that really want to help, just do it. People like that asshole just talk and pretend.
PS: After years of drug abuse, the vet I helped got clean and got his life together (the foreman), because life is a sadistic fucker, got diagnosed with chronic heart disease. It was because of his past drug abuse (meth). His heart slowly failed, so he had time to ponder and he knew it was coming. Please don't judge me too harshly but I've never been able to help anyone else like that since. That just sucked too much. Rest in peace Tyler. You deserved better.
Thanks for helping when you could. (Not that you need the thanks). A lot of time the people that need help don't get it because they don't know how to ask. I know veterans like to keep quiet about shit, so that must have been tough for you to get him on the right track.
His body might not have been able to recover for a longer life, but you helped him end his life on a more positive note. Addiction is rough and we all make dumb mistakes, but not everyone can get back on track. Any of his friends/family that talked to him after he got clean have more loving memories of him because of your help. That's a good thing, but I understand the toll it takes on you as the helper.
You rock! 🪨
Thanks
Jesus Christ I'm so tired of having to take these absolute morons seriously. In their tiny pea brain they think they're making a brilliant point here. "I are good guy, you am bad guy" Maybe democracy really is a mistake.
You cannot have proper democracy without proper information channels, so do not disqualify democracy for something it hasn't done.
plato knew that the majority of people are too fucking stupid to govern themselves thousands of years ago
The biggest argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Behind our troops
In front of my Ram
Is he planning to run down our troops?
ram the troops from behind? if they insist..
Yes but only first, and THEN the lurbulls
"The ram is my penis..."

I don't think I've ever met a single person who has something against any military personnel for being military personnel. Just the war machine they're a part of. We ain't in post Vietnam anymore
Im not in the US but I've heard many people argue that joining the military (beyond mandatory service) makes you right wing. My country's military doesn't even leave the country.
It's even worse because of the huge misalignment. Tape some guidelines at least?
How am I just now hearing the literal use of "guidelines" for the first time?
So many words evolve, and if you're not in an industry that uses the original way, you never learn it. There are toooons of words like this.
Why does reading this wrong sound so poetic but so nonsensical?
If you can't stand
Feel free to stand
Behind our troops
In front of my Ram
I'm against how our troop are used and abused then largely dumped to fend for themselves. Usually with the approval of dipshits that put messages like that on the DUI king of trucks.
10:1 odds this guy didn’t serve himself.
I think people forget that conscription ended years ago, and military personnel do get paid.
At least here in Australia, not one person I know joined to "serve their country". It was literally for lots of other reasons
They get paid well. They're doing a job and people should respect everyone equally, including waiters or even people working in stores
Most people in the military feel the same. Everyone I knew when I was in hated being thanked for their service. Most didn't join to serve their country, they joined for the benefits that come with it.
Local truck driver cures paraplegia.
if you can't stand, feel free to stand
That's very nice of the man.
So stand between the troops and the Ram?
No, you stand behind the troops, so he can hit them first
It looks like 'behind our troops' is waiting for takeoff confirmation.
Hail storm troopers
It has a nice little rhyme. So cool that this dude is sharing his poetry with everyone.
"If you use a wheelchair, then protect yourself by using a pair of crutches behind the soldiers I'm about to mow down."
But don't feel like you Need To Stand for all those Dead Losers and Suckers!
— Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump
To be fair, he stood waaaay behind our troops. Because of those debilitating bone spurs.
