i think i’ve talked about it already but i fucking hate when people misconstrue my hatred for the military as hatred for soldiers/veterans. a huge part of my hatred for the military as an institution is the way they fuck over and exploit their soldiers and then abandon their veterans. like that is 50% if not more of why i hate the military

#marzi speaks #do i agree with every soldier or veteran? of course not there’s a huge amount of them #do i want anyone to be traumatized or homeless or hurt or addicted? no!!#it makes me so bitter because when someone tells me i must hate vets they assume so many things about me #1- i must not know any veterans. this is blatantly false my own fucking father is an army vet. guess who doesn’t want me anywhere near #the goddamn military. my army vet father. he passed me down his army hat i wear it regularly. i’m not unaware of what vets go through #2- i must have no clue what i’m talking about. once again blatantly untrue #i’ve seen the stats. veterans are abandoned by the military and their communities #alienation and lack of assistance (financial or medical/mental) often leads to substance abuse #many veterans are poor due to entering the military poor. a huge part of the homeless population is veterans #oh and guess who treats the homeless and addicts like shit? THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE WHO TELL ME TO RESPECT THE TROOPS #3- i hate america. this one is kind of true but also i am 18 so jury’s still out on my full political opinion #bc. an 18 year old does not know everything about politics. wild #ANYWAYS. i’d like to be upset at a horrible violent institution that exploits everyone it comes into contact with #from its enemies to those it ‘helps’ to those it employs #without being told i must have a burning hatred for thousands of people with lives and families #like jesus fucking christ. NOT what i was talking about. let me seethe in peace
