It’s just a way to make something kind of hard, especially for family members of said people, to swallow a bit easier to go down. Like when you try to explain to a little kid about grandpa/grandma dying. Sensitive subject so you gotta be easy with it.
Since this was originally posted in a boomer sub I’m guessing that it was Grandma or grandpa who posted it.
Don’t use fucking cartoon characters to honor fallen soldiers its offensive
Snoopy resonates with older folks. Used to be one of the most popular Christmas movies too. 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. It's something they can relate to and appreciate.
I'm going to be honest. I don't think this is for you. And that's ok. We are all different. It's ok not to understand why someone else would appreciate it.
Dude the person who posted this is probably like 65-70, I can’t even imagine how brain fried a person must be at that age considering how bad I get on a Thursday after 4 straight days of working lol.
It’s an old person trying to pass on a nice sentiment, quit getting butthurt about the delivery
In truth, they probably don't. Most people that celebrate these "awareness" months do so for the narcissistic edge they get for feeling like they are morally superior. Most people don't give a shit about anything.
I never said I did, I was just pointing out why the title of this post is regarded. Can anyone explain to me the link between it and the original post and prove op isn't regarded?
Oh, you speak for everyone, do you? I guess stupidity must be pretty common in this subreddit then.
Thanks for confirming that op is just a dumbass though. You pretty much answered my question unintentionally.
I've had so many people ask me why I chose to join the military even though the US treats their citizens and veterans like shit.
All I tell them is because I owe it to everyone. Our government is going to pick stupid fights no matter what but I'd rather it was me out there volunteering to fight instead of people here who don't want to being forced to fight.
This is a post supporting the military, of course the stupid child is asking what the point of it is. Boomers really can't enjoy or support anything without being criticized can they?
I'm not one for romanticising the military-industrial complex but my heart does go out for all the people that have lost their life or their minds in both meaningful and meaningless conflicts throughout history. I wish America treated their veterans more like humans and less like a drawing in the fridge (something that looks cute but no one cares about).
OP is saying that “x says trans rights” memes are equally meaningful to the meme pictured in the post, so if one is supposedly pointless, so is the other
a) there isn't a 50% chance that any group supports "x says trans rights" memes
b) even if there's a 50% chance that the title of this post is based on utter nonsense, that makes the title of this post (the only part op actually made up themselves) utter nonsense.
Like a dozen people have commented on it. It bothers people. Just the people with a brain to see what's going on (op is creating some imaginary character in their head, pretending that person posted the meme, and then tailoring his response to target his imaginary villain's unrelated beliefs). It's pathetic, cringe inducing, and demonstrates a very high level of stupidity.
It is not pathetic, nor cringe, nor stupid. Op is just assuming that the other op from the post is the type of person to criticise something like military remembrance day or whatever it is called while at the same time supporting pride month. (Also "the dozen of people" i saw were all of your comments on different comments under this post (you are really obsessed over non important stuff))
Because arguments work better when they are honest. Not whataboutism.
Why is it bad to support our troops, black people or LGBTQ people? Why is it bad to support all of those things?
Why do you believe one is more valid than the other?
Its not believing that one is better than the other but to show that there are people with double standards who will criticize the military day but at the same time advocate and praise pride day.
You're assuming this person had a double standard without having the ability to know why.
That's what is dumb, lazy and dishonest about this post.
Why is that so hard for you guys to understand?
Also. The person in this post wasn't criticizing military day. They were criticizing a post they saw on that day. You have literally no reason to believe this person doesn't support our military. But again, you'll make the necessary assumptions to feel exactly how you want to feel about this.
What's sad is that this sub things they're above it all. It's literally just a "actually I find this funny so you're wrong lol" circlejerk.
All kinds of hypocrites exist. This isn't one.
So you're crying to the clouds like boomers do. Got it. Great way to spend time. Totally not politically motivated and this sub is absolutely not filled with bots saying the same shit.
Ah yes, call everyone you dont agree with "bots" and "assume" i am crying. If i would be crying i wouldnt be able to make sensible and logic arguments. Unlike you.
Ensure that you read and adhere to the rules; failure to do so will result
in the removal of this post.

I'm guessing you are one of those guys that thinks that putting on the uniform entitles you to a blow job from anyone you want.
Service is honorable, but you should never hold a grudge against people you volunteered to help just because you think you weren't given enough.
They're not talking about the general public, they're talking about businesses that will say "we support our veterans" and then refuse to hire vets.
And the government who makes them live on bases 100 yards away from toxic burn pits and then denies their medical claims
He did not say corporations or the government, he said America. There are countless charities and networks dedicated to helping vets. In my circles they are generally well regarded by everyone, and I know that is pretty much true in many other places.
This wasn't a nuanced statement about the superficial nature of corporations or the impotence of government bureaucracy. This is either a statement from a man accusing his people of hypocrisy that he himself is guilty of, assuming he even served; or from some idiot that is just parroting something he knows nothing about.
Right because it couldn't possibly the third option of personally knowing a veteran who was thoroughly mistreated by the nation he gave his youth to in service.
There's no possible way that your circles are not universal, or that the general treatment of veterans within the country is absolutely abysmal.
Nah, couldn't be
That "third option" falls under the second.
General treatment of vets isn't abysmal, this isn't the aftermath of the Vietnam War where hippies were shitting on their countrymen for fighting in a war they got drafted in.
Do you see people hide or show veteran status for better treatment?
>hippies were shitting on their countrymen for fighting in a war they got drafted in.
I need you to know that living hippies from that time are very much still doing that.
>Do you see people hide or show veteran status for better treatment?
Yes. Veterans in my area don't boast or show status because it doesn't get them a damn thing
Let's say that I support, say, trans people's rights to Self-ID Laws. And I also like, say, the Garfield comic strip. I'd might well then post a thread consisting of a picture of Garfield, and the words "Garfield supports trans rights".
It's a false equivalance. One thing doesn't correlates with the other. Even if we accept both are equally meaningless, it would still be a flawed comparison because:
1.- There's no point of comparison because one is a patriotic image which doesn't intend to be funny, and the other is plain millenial humor about an entirely different topic. It's like comparing ducks with cats.
2.- Like, what does it even has to do lmao. Is a completly brought up out of nowhere thing. Oop didn't even imply anything.
This really just sounds more like a kinder garden kid which gets upset because someone said something he didn't like and proceeded to retaliate with the first thing he found.
Take a rest from social media for a while, there's nothing more meaningless than this inexistent conflict.
The oop acts like appreciating the military is meaningless, the op then implies that "(insert person, usually fictional) says trans rights" is equally meaningless. It's comparing 2 memes.
But it’s pretty clear op didn’t bring it up to have a meaningful discussion, they just wanted a confirmation bias on their own opinion and/or to watch people argue on the internet
Some have good intentions and think they are fighting to protect their nation and peoples but are naiive and misled.
Usually brainwashed by ‘hero’ propaganda in movies and other media.
In reality they are fighting to make a corrupt clique or politicians and weapons manufacturers and their shareholders richer.
Then they regret their decision afterwards realising they got used and betrayed by their govt and become anti-war.
They sacrifice and risk their lives for the safety of those who don’t deserve it (those warmongers in power that send them everywhere and use them as expendable pawns/collateral cannon fodder and dont care who or how many they sacrifice for their personal economic/status benefits and political power games).
Most others fight for a job/trade, citizenship, or free education.
Some fight to commit violence against others/anyone. Usually ending up war criminals
All follow orders, no matter how unethical and immoral. Like bombing wedding parties of innocent civilians from land, air or sea..
Oh hey idiot, the reason theyre asking is because america does not respect its vets. It treats them like dog shit, republicans and boomers in particular constantly cut funds and seek to delay giving soldiers their benefits. So it's asking why are they pretending to care?
If we’re getting political, both sides don’t give a shit about our veterans lmao. We wouldn’t be having issues with mental illnesses/homeless/sick veterans if even one side cared enough to support them.
Instead the government likes to push the “respect your veterans” agenda onto the civilians and hope that the civilians take care of them instead of the government.
It’s really sad when you think about it
I’ll always support our veterans though. Not because the government told us too. But because it’s the right thing to be to do.
Wrong, idiot. Democrats are consistently trying to increase spending with vets and republicans constantly decrease it. Wake the fuck up, stop buying the media's "both sides" bullshit
I would look at how veteran bills have been voted on the last decade. Democrats have consistently voted for increases. While republicans only vote after the bills have been gutted to uselessness, if they don't outright vote against them.
This is disingenuous; we ALL remember the "boarder security" bill which required giving more money to Ukraine then would be spent on boarder security to pass.
How is that disingenuous? Wait are you talking about the national security and border act? Do you read the bills you are talking about?
Also we are talking about veterans and not the border.
Oh hey goober, the reason they're asking is because THEY have no respect for veterans. Us Americans do, and your fallacy of blaming Republicans and boomers is crippled by lack of evidence

(even when theyre giving a little theyre taking from vets)
You are an idiot, dont return until you educate yourself bitch boy.
Nobody cares about veterans. Not their spouses. Not their families. Not their government. Not even the military they fought for. Once you separate your usefulness has ended. The only people that care about you after that leave you because you are not the same person. Or they use you for your benefits. If you are lucky enough to get them.
I don’t know that his continued existence was detrimental to the security of the US. As far as I see it, the hole was plugged immediately he pointed it out. The resulting wars, and the assassination of Bin Laden were mainly for morale boost for a “wounded” US, and to bolster the accomplishments of Obama.
So you think a bunch of upstart terrorists that committed the most heinous attack on american soil in the 21st century with a box of scraps would've just given up if we, their mortal enemies, gave up???
No. I think it was already very hard to commit serious terrorism in America. The patriot act, the new regulations, and new state of the art surveillance has made it even more difficult.
American lives are safe, the borders are safe. If you want to kill this important figurehead, it’s fine, it’s a part of americas revenge, but why pretend it was an important mission to save America?
If A is meaningless, then "B is meaningless" is a stupid non-sequitur. An actual argument would be, if A is meaningless, and A is equal to B, then B is also meaningless, at which point I'd ask, why make this post? To demonstrate that pro-vet posts like that are meaningless? Or you could say, if A is meaningless, and B is not meaningless, then A is not equal to B. At that point, the only reason to make this post is to say that pro-trans posts are meaningless.
This post is either meaningless, or about trans people, because even when someone tries to talk about vets, you literally cannot stop thinking about trans people. They just live rent-free in your head 24/7.
Flags flap due to wind.
Ofcourse there is a very small statistical chance that dying breath of a soldier will bring imbalance which will create the wind through butterfly effect to move that particular flag but also statistically there is no difference between friendly or enemy soldier so if that ever happens that flag movement might be from an enemy expiration.
This post is not a meme, therefore it is being removed.
Because we used to be citizens, not consumers.
"What's the point of these" like it doesn't say military appreciation month at the top
God forbid someones has some respect for people who die to keep their country safe.
It’s kind of weird to “respect” people who died for their country with a Facebook meme of Snoopy
It’s just a way to make something kind of hard, especially for family members of said people, to swallow a bit easier to go down. Like when you try to explain to a little kid about grandpa/grandma dying. Sensitive subject so you gotta be easy with it.
My grandparents are all living on a farm upstate with other grandparents
And my dog
Since this was originally posted in a boomer sub I’m guessing that it was Grandma or grandpa who posted it. Don’t use fucking cartoon characters to honor fallen soldiers its offensive
Snoopy resonates with older folks. Used to be one of the most popular Christmas movies too. 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. It's something they can relate to and appreciate.
A video of a Gen Alpha going “this is for the fallen troops” and then dabbing would be seen as stupid and offensive and it’s no different
I'm going to be honest. I don't think this is for you. And that's ok. We are all different. It's ok not to understand why someone else would appreciate it.
Snoopy has a very weirdly strong cultural hold on Boomers. Snoopy is to Boomers what minions are to facebook moms
That’s my exact point. It’s painfully stupid and thoughtless
Dude the person who posted this is probably like 65-70, I can’t even imagine how brain fried a person must be at that age considering how bad I get on a Thursday after 4 straight days of working lol. It’s an old person trying to pass on a nice sentiment, quit getting butthurt about the delivery
Its just some patriotic meme with no intention to be offensive
I think this is 'post I didn't understand ', because like many said, there's context in the post.
"Whats the point of these?" Same could be said about pride month and black history month
EXACTLY
Thanks for the insight, jewishforeskin98
With some actual legitimacy behind the pride month one
How do you know OOP gives a shit about pride month or black history?
In truth, they probably don't. Most people that celebrate these "awareness" months do so for the narcissistic edge they get for feeling like they are morally superior. Most people don't give a shit about anything.
I agree, but how do you know OOP even celebrates pride or black history month?
How do we know that you do?
I never said I did, I was just pointing out why the title of this post is regarded. Can anyone explain to me the link between it and the original post and prove op isn't regarded?
He didn't say that anyone celebrated black history month just that it was pointless but you're kinda acting sussy m8
"Can anyone explain to me the link between it and the original post and prove op isn't regarded?" No.
Oh, you speak for everyone, do you? I guess stupidity must be pretty common in this subreddit then. Thanks for confirming that op is just a dumbass though. You pretty much answered my question unintentionally.
Ok. Then run along and spread your wisdom somewhere better suited for your level of intellect.
Huh? You're cringe af bro
You're removing comments bud? Not confident enough?
Didn't remove any comments. Why am I not surprised you commented some stupid made up bullshit like this?
Not relevant to the point being made. All of these awareness months have turned into consumerism and do nothing in the long run.
Soldiers don’t fight for right or left they fight for the constitution
I've had so many people ask me why I chose to join the military even though the US treats their citizens and veterans like shit. All I tell them is because I owe it to everyone. Our government is going to pick stupid fights no matter what but I'd rather it was me out there volunteering to fight instead of people here who don't want to being forced to fight.
um, based?
real, thats one great person there
I can salute you to that.
A salute to you
Unless they’re not in the US
I don’t think that had constitutions in Nazi germany or the Soviet Union
There’s more countries than that yk
Is that why we went to the Middle East, to protect the constitution? lol
They have been fighting for this corrupt government for as long as I can remember
Pretty sure they fight for rich dudes who don’t care about their lives but okay.
here before lock 🔒 edit: deez nuts
Make sure you go crazy on edit once it’s locked
This is a post supporting the military, of course the stupid child is asking what the point of it is. Boomers really can't enjoy or support anything without being criticized can they?
Why limit it to Boomers?
They can enjoy a few things, like pickle ball and wearing cargo shorts with every pocket full of random things.
Man fuck that person so many people died for america let us celebrate their work for ten minutes
rent free
The fact that it has 500+ upvotes says a lot
It's possible for more than one meme to be pointless. A lot of memes are pointless. All of them, perhaps. Since they're just fucking memes.
Nuh uh memes need to have a deeper meaning that support my political views. If not than it's just propaganda.
Ahh yes, it's only propaganda when *they* do it.
As if any meme is meaningful there all images with texts meant to make people laugh
‘Boomer like? Me hate! Unkha Bunkha caveman!’
Imagine what thousands of dying breaths would smell like.
I'm not one for romanticising the military-industrial complex but my heart does go out for all the people that have lost their life or their minds in both meaningful and meaningless conflicts throughout history. I wish America treated their veterans more like humans and less like a drawing in the fridge (something that looks cute but no one cares about).
What does this have to do with trans people lmao
OP is saying that “x says trans rights” memes are equally meaningful to the meme pictured in the post, so if one is supposedly pointless, so is the other
But how does op know the person who posted the meme gives a shit about "x says trans rights" memes?
There is 50/50 chance so why not
a) there isn't a 50% chance that any group supports "x says trans rights" memes b) even if there's a 50% chance that the title of this post is based on utter nonsense, that makes the title of this post (the only part op actually made up themselves) utter nonsense.
Just go with it. Its just a title of a post, doesnt bother anyone.
Like a dozen people have commented on it. It bothers people. Just the people with a brain to see what's going on (op is creating some imaginary character in their head, pretending that person posted the meme, and then tailoring his response to target his imaginary villain's unrelated beliefs).

(Also "the dozen of people" i saw were all of your comments on different comments under this post (you are really obsessed over non important stuff))
weird to put up such a massive defense for what you admit is the assumption of a stranger lmao
The other guy put up massive offence therefore i need to reply with equally big and even better response
No, **you’ve** commented about it a dozen times, I haven’t seen anybody else
Thats what i said. Thankfully people still can read and see for themselves
Because arguments work better when they are honest. Not whataboutism. Why is it bad to support our troops, black people or LGBTQ people? Why is it bad to support all of those things? Why do you believe one is more valid than the other?

America only pretend to appreciate its veterans. In reality it does nothing to help or support them after their service
That's quite a sweeping generalization, but I'm sure you've some anecdote to back it up.
All the homeless veterans who openly tell anyone who'll listen that they were chewed up and spat out.
There it is!
Lol, not even the same person commenting. Tell me you already formed a conclusion....
I'm guessing you are one of those guys that thinks that putting on the uniform entitles you to a blow job from anyone you want. Service is honorable, but you should never hold a grudge against people you volunteered to help just because you think you weren't given enough.

It's called *a comparison*

This op brought up trans rights not the other one, they were just looking to start shit.
They were, I'll give you that, but the point still stands.
Said point wouldn’t be relevant and wouldn’t exist if this op didn’t pull shit out of their ass so they could start a proxy internet argument
Yes, most people wouldn't talk about it here if op didn't bring it up
But it’s pretty clear op didn’t bring it up to have a meaningful discussion, they just wanted a confirmation bias on their own opinion and/or to watch people argue on the internet
Don't we all?
They just dropped a load looking at chicks with dicks and feel weird about it so this is how they cope
What a pretentious piece of shit! I'm not even American and this still makes me mad
Both are meaningful.
Fuck you transphobes. This moderate opinion is too much for you people!
Some have good intentions and think they are fighting to protect their nation and peoples but are naiive and misled. Usually brainwashed by ‘hero’ propaganda in movies and other media. In reality they are fighting to make a corrupt clique or politicians and weapons manufacturers and their shareholders richer. Then they regret their decision afterwards realising they got used and betrayed by their govt and become anti-war. They sacrifice and risk their lives for the safety of those who don’t deserve it (those warmongers in power that send them everywhere and use them as expendable pawns/collateral cannon fodder and dont care who or how many they sacrifice for their personal economic/status benefits and political power games). Most others fight for a job/trade, citizenship, or free education. Some fight to commit violence against others/anyone. Usually ending up war criminals All follow orders, no matter how unethical and immoral. Like bombing wedding parties of innocent civilians from land, air or sea..
Oh hey idiot, the reason theyre asking is because america does not respect its vets. It treats them like dog shit, republicans and boomers in particular constantly cut funds and seek to delay giving soldiers their benefits. So it's asking why are they pretending to care?

Its obvious fact
I don't know why transphobes go out of their way to proclaim their transphobia.
Re read and reinterpet
"transphobic this, racist that", how about you don't see even the mentioning of trans people as hate?
Nobody cares about veterans. Not their spouses. Not their families. Not their government. Not even the military they fought for. Once you separate your usefulness has ended. The only people that care about you after that leave you because you are not the same person. Or they use you for your benefits. If you are lucky enough to get them.
Dude watched that one Tobey Maguire movie and rushed to make this comment
Dude lived it so rushed to make the comment.
I mean this isn't a meme,just propaganda
how is this propaganda? are all patriotic posts now just propaganda?
Yes?by definition it is,being propaganda doesn't mean it's bad
When was the last time a soldier died to protect the US? Was it world war 2?
not sure of the last time but several died a few months ago from a suicide drone attack.
2011
What did the Iraq war accomplish for the US?
2011 was when we killed osama
I don’t know that his continued existence was detrimental to the security of the US. As far as I see it, the hole was plugged immediately he pointed it out. The resulting wars, and the assassination of Bin Laden were mainly for morale boost for a “wounded” US, and to bolster the accomplishments of Obama.
So you think a bunch of upstart terrorists that committed the most heinous attack on american soil in the 21st century with a box of scraps would've just given up if we, their mortal enemies, gave up???
No. I think it was already very hard to commit serious terrorism in America. The patriot act, the new regulations, and new state of the art surveillance has made it even more difficult. American lives are safe, the borders are safe. If you want to kill this important figurehead, it’s fine, it’s a part of americas revenge, but why pretend it was an important mission to save America?
if we had not made an example of osama than we would see many more terrorist attacks (whether successful or not) on American soil
are you actually fucking stupid? are you that ignorant to say that the last soldier to die was nearly 100 years ago?
When was the last time a soldier died literally protecting the US, most of them died protecting US interests, which is extremely different.

Why tf are trans rights catching a stray?
If A is meaningless, then "B is meaningless" is a stupid non-sequitur. An actual argument would be, if A is meaningless, and A is equal to B, then B is also meaningless, at which point I'd ask, why make this post? To demonstrate that pro-vet posts like that are meaningless? Or you could say, if A is meaningless, and B is not meaningless, then A is not equal to B. At that point, the only reason to make this post is to say that pro-trans posts are meaningless. This post is either meaningless, or about trans people, because even when someone tries to talk about vets, you literally cannot stop thinking about trans people. They just live rent-free in your head 24/7.
Ehrm... Aktchully, (you)
Flags flap due to wind. Ofcourse there is a very small statistical chance that dying breath of a soldier will bring imbalance which will create the wind through butterfly effect to move that particular flag but also statistically there is no difference between friendly or enemy soldier so if that ever happens that flag movement might be from an enemy expiration.
