Progressives' Broken Warrior Narrative is Killing Veterans

We're not victims

Howdy,

I need to get something off my chest (and not it’s not some new tattoo, though it is tempting):

I love Democrats. Seriously. My mother is a professor of Social Work at Texas State University. Please, spare me your ad hominem attacks that I somehow “hate” liberals. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Here is one one of my personal heroes:

You know where she lived? Austin, Texas. Fuck yeah! I might be a fucking classical liberal (it was our label first, mofos), but that doesn’t mean I can’t tip my hat to liberals.

Now, that I’ve cleared my throat.

Fucking progressive having ruined the Democratic Party. Yep, I said it. But you know who is the absolute worst of all of them?

It’s the section of the Democratic progressive base that is mostly made up of wealthy white married women, but it also incorporates a certain type of progressive do gooder. You know the type, right?

These are the type of women who will protest against police brutality and then stick their fucking nose into other people’s business by calling the police on them.

How in the fuck does that work?

A Grumpy Combat Veteran Wondering Why Progressives Just Can't Leave Veterans Alone

Now, to be fair, Karens simply think they know better than veterans, even though they’ve never served before. They’re the people that give us lame lines, like “Hurt people hurt people.”

Point of Privilege: What in the good fuck does that empty jar of bullshit mean? People hurt people, moron. Why? Because we are all human!

Karens have infested the VA’s and DoD’s healthcare system. Oh, please, don’t believe me, I could start naming the doctors and VA staff members who are guilty of such sins, but, I’m a gentlemen, so I won’t.

But let me give you a few great examples:

1. “You need to take all of these pills” - you get this a lot in the VA. You want me to take all of this shit and just sit back and become a vegetable? Yeah, go fuck yourself. I spent 1500 days in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I’ll be the judge of what does and doesn’t go into my body, thank you very much. If you don’t like my decision:

   2. “Are you suicidal?” - How many times must a man answer this question before someone in the system realizes that we’re not ALL about to throw ourselves off the tallest building in Kazakhstan.

3. “You have PTSD/TBIs/Moral Injury/Asperber Sydrome/OCD/and so you belong where you can’t hurt yourself because I have my own issues I can’t deal with.”

4. “I know you don’t like Biden, but, sir, please, you must keep the level of profanity down. This is a group environment.”

5. “Please, sir, calm down. There’s no need to use such words”

You wanna know why veterans still kill themselves in record numbers? Because there are too many Karens inside the mental health industry and it pushes combat veterans away. It’s not the ONLY reason, but it’s prevalent.

Phew. I feel better.

Until Next Time!
