"I used to think that [Iraq war vets] had it easier when they got back... [Arlo] told me when they got back the tarmac was covered with people with signs and balloons welcoming everybody... When we got back from Vietnam, oh there was a crowd alright, but they spit on us as we walked by."

Vic, scandalized: >:O

lmao GOOD, fuck the Vietnam war, fuck the Iraq war, and fuck everyone who willingly participated/makes excuses for their participation, including this side character we're supposed to be sympathizing with. returning Iraq war vets ought to have been spit on too! i fucking HATE episodes of television like these where it's all about compassion for the unhoused...... as long as they're military veterans. no no, ME the imperial stooge doesn't deserve to be dehumanized like this, unlike those other icky dirty crazy homeless who deserve it. fuck off, Shonda & co.!!!!

#station 19 #man vic used to be one of the coolest characters but whoever has been writing her for the last 2 seasons needs to be shot #If someone is actually oNe oF tHe GoOd vEtS/ actually reformed then they dedicate themselves to anti-imperialism & never seek pity #like marcus from twitch dot com slash leftflankvets. he destroys anyone who tries to do the uwu vet shit with him #yes there is a difference in people who misguidedly enlist out of desperation vs military family psychopaths #but guess what: the difference doesnt matter to the iraqi/afghan/vietnamese/etc families you destroy so keep your sob story to yourself!#material consequences matter more than intentions especially in matters of imperial wars
