it's actually not the guys in the picture that bother me. I don't know the context of when/how/why it was taken. but then someone turned into some macho bullshit, as brian put it. it has the same effect, to me, of a guy in a giant truck that feels the need to throw the pedal down just to show he's got a pedal.
guys who are insecure about their manhood pull that garbage.

I actually don't have a problem with people honouring or commemorating the military. But I don't think that 2013 is the time to be doing it, considering the U.S military has been hijacked and used as pawns by a bunch of greed-heads in D.C and Texas. And considering the military is currently being used to oppress and murder countless poor people in foreign lands, I say you can keep your Saturday, May 18th.
Just my two cents worth (And true to form, as always :P )
How can we be oppressing them as we send millions of dollars?

The Mailman isnt hamming it up for a picture. He DOING his job. On the other hand , maybe this is what we are paying our men and women in the military to do for their job.

I like this one ...
one of my old co-workers, and friend, was in the armed forces a while back (far right) ...
lol.
Gotta admit this ones pretty funny! I used to have a shoe box of those toy soldiers. (My brother and I referred to them simple as "army men".) As boys, that was part of our indoctrination to violence.

Anyone who believes in the "Fuck yeah, Let's Go Kick Some Ass"... is more than welcome to strap on the Kevlar and pick up a weapon and hop on the next transport to Kabul... rather than sit on their fat lazy asses in the comfort of their living room and send someone else's son, daughter, father, mother to do their political bidding. 'We' and 'Us' includes 'YOU'.

So what soldier what civilian thinks its a "fuck yeah lets go kick some ass "?
it is a fuck yeah I'm behind my country. Fuck yeah America! Fuck yeah Patriotism!
That's was the idea behind my thread. This is what my father a WWII POW would have liked.
He would want us to celebrate that along with each Military individual on Armed Forces Day,
gun lovers or not.
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway

If that was truly the sentiment of your post then I do not disagree. But the choice of photo was provocative. I would have gone with something like this:

Yes, much better pic.
That would make sense to some... Hopefully most.
Totally agree. Photos like the one in the OP only hinder my ability to "support the troops". Guys waving guns about isn't something I really support.
