an aside

Damn...

All that talk about stigma, trying to bring more attention to the stigma surrounding the troops, and then there's this Bergdahl thing.

Can the Administration's staff get any more stupid?

Asking if its possible if the troops serving around Bergdahl were psychopaths.

Are you fucking kidding me? Someone mentioned to me that you were an infantry officer at one point. If this is the case you should know this term : Knucklefucker. 

That is what you are. 

I cannot in a million years understand why anyone in the administration would mention this. First we have the armed forces day fiasco. 

Great I get it, its some LGBT day... but long before that it was Armed Forces day... Way to gaff us off douche-canoes.  Nothing says fuck-you to the troops like your constant not giving a shit. I'm looking at you Mr. Obama.

Then we got the VA fiasco... My god did it really take a news report for you bastards to see this? We're vets and we've known that place has been killing us, avoiding us, or otherwise shirking a majority of the job responsibilities for years... I mean why the hell else does it take 2 years to get a claim pushed through while we struggle to feed our kids AND afford seeing outside doctors for shit that the VA gave us a once over and a pat on the ass for.

Great so Obama wants to apologize to the troops and show that he hasn't forgotten us, so he brings us the gift of Bergdahl...

And gives them the gift of 5 of their top leaders back.

Dude, you could have had an epic movie moment there... make a trade for this piece of shit, lift off the helicopter, drone explodifies taliban - roll credits. We'd have all clapped and shit, because well... fuck the taliban.

No. Instead you decided to give them their guys, and bring this dude home... ALMOST making him look like a hero rather than the deserting loser that he is. So some of us almost buy it. "Woah dude they found that guy." not really remembering the whole story about it...

Then someone finally pipes up, and of course you guys shut him up - make him look like a shitbag and a psychopathic former Heisenberg associate or some such nonsense... Then another pops up...

and another

one more

these guys are coming out of the woodwork

There goes your bullshit story.

Suddenly you got this Brandon Friedman guy - a former infantry officer from the 101 coming forward with this little gem. "What if his platoon was long on psychopaths and short on leadership."

Dude... you were an infantry officer... it doesn't matter what you think of Hastings and his claim... the other guys came forward too. Do you REALLY think they are ALL batshit crazy?

Maybe it is you sir, being long on words, but short on brains. 

but then again... you worked at the VA for a few years...

This shit is coming full circle.

I should take a breather.

Don't forget to smash the shit out of that G+ button and share this stuff. At least make me feel like I'm not a bitter curmudgeon for no reason...

You know you want to.
