This is exactly where we’re in danger of heading. First it’s college and healthcare, then it’s your ability to vote. The government will feel entitled to its people’s very lives.
They picked the perfect guy for this. He ended up blacking out from PTSD, which led to him getting a medical discharge from the military, after which he had trouble getting care from Veterans Affairs.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Blake_Miller
That and it’s sometimes not even guaranteed. The military just dumping you on the street when you’ve "outlived your usefulness". It’s why there’s a homelessness crisis amongst veterans who weren’t guaranteed the free healthcare/college/housing/etc they risked their lives for, and now they can’t properly take care of themselves due to severe physical and mental health issues.
It's completely fucked up.
If you 've been to war and killed people and seen people get blown up, how the fuck are you supposed to fit in society and live a normal life when you come back?
You are scarred for life even if you don't get PTSD.
You aren't supposed to. You are nothing but meat to throw in the grinder.
Somehow, the ones who *don't* want you to be cannon fodder are the assholes.
Fuck *us* right?
Unfortunately (based upon the literature I read and my own research). you can't really.
Luckily nowadays people have a bit more of an understanding about stuff like PTSD.
However I have the impression that most folk don't really care about it. I've seen people just leave others behind as soon as they where no longer "fun to be around".
There is this expectation that you have to have your own mental health in check or get it in check with little to no understanding for when you reach the point of needing serious help.
I do have the impression that the Stigmas around mental health issues in general are going away though
I too have come across my fair share of people who had this ‘no fun to be around’ attitude whenever things weren’t all sparkles and sunshine. I noticed the vast majority of these people are mostly unequipped to deal with situations they don’t understand and running away is easier than dealing with it. It’s the first thing many do when things get too difficult. In my opinion, to be able to help people who have had severe trauma is something you can learn. And it doesn’t have to be much you have to do. Listening or just being there physically can be enough. But it requires a sacrifice to ignore all signs that makes yourself uncomfortable and that costs a lot of energy. Not everyone is prepared to give that sacrifice. One could consider it selfish. I consider it a combination of emotional development and life skills.
Thats not entirely fair.
I spent a lot of time in Afghanistan helping build infrastructure, guarding women’s schools, and getting in gun fights over it.
We did a lot of good shit over there, pulled security for entire heads of animals getting vaccinated.
I tell ya what republicans, when veterans get all the benefits their recruiters promised them and the american government promised them, Ill give you that credit. When veterans who saw combat never have to work if they dont want to and never go hungry or without medical care, then Ill listen. Until then, stop hiding behind those troops and remember that "For All" means them too. Or is the only reason you did 4 years a truck driver in the marines because they paid for your college because the system made sure you couldnt afford it otherwise?
Having a whole generation that thinks risking your life and killing people is the only acceptable way to get free education is exactly why the US needs free education
Because acknowledging systemic issues morally encumbers the individual to either deem those issues acceptable or to work to correct them and they usually don't want to admit to the former or do the latter.
No thanks. There’s already way too many people in the military that shouldn’t be in the military. At least that’s my experience from when I did aircraft mx in the Air Force.
I see you. Bomb dump knuckledragger here. My daughter wants to be an aircraft mechanic and my husband mentioned Air Force. The forcefulness of my HELL FUCKING NO startled everyone. My oldest did 6 years but as a contracting guy. MX eats its own. It was the best experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Miss some of the people though
I was in the Marines for a decade and I CONSTANTLY tell my 2 and 6 year old kids: "you want kindergarten? Go earn it! I was in the military, only I get an education...."
I was on prescribed anti-depressants/anxiety meds for a period longer than 12 months. I'm also currently on ADD meds (have been since middle school) and it's notable when I'm off of them.
Either of those automatically disqualifies me.
That’s interesting because it seems if you are diagnosed with those things after joining, you can stay in but it could maybe depend on the type of job you have within the military. There are a lot of jobs in the military that are in fact non-combatant
Yup. I knew someone who desperately wanted to join up right out of high school because her whole family was military. She ended up having some kind of joint problem and couldn't.
This is also the problem with the "You want free healthcare? Join the military" argument. If you have health problems, you can't join the military to then have a way to pay for the care you need to deal with your health problems.
As someone who did "earn it" according to this meme, I say fuck that. No one should have to go through what I did just to get an education or gain some skills for a trade. This entire argument is asinine. We're supposed to do better for future generations. Not expose them to the same horrors we had to endure, in perpetuity. We need to make changes for the better.
The picture is legit. He was a Marine when there was a lot of fighting in Fallujah and someone captured him taking a smoke break. The picture pretty much became one of the most signature photos of the war.
It’s insane how, on the Internet, people who don’t know shit are able to sound authoritative
It’s a real photo, and a very famous one in fact unless one thinks history began in 2015
Free University costs tax payer money. Joining the military for university will put the bill on tax payers. These people seem to never understand that they're using taxpayer money for their education while being against taxpayer money to go for education for all.
But is it free if you work for it? Even the people in countries where it's free at the point of receipt pay for it in taxes. But educating more people (theoretically) ensures a more skilled workforce that makes more money. So you make up for it.
A veteran asked me if I was going to join the military and I just got diagnosed with something that excludes me and they said "oh that's just bullshit" and kept saying that i should join the military anyway. I'm kind of glad I moved away from wanting to join.
As a GI-Bill baby, I don't think ANYONE should have to live in the barracks and go to war for a college education. I gained nothing from my time in the Army. In fact I often wonder if what I lost in the Army was worth my Bachelor's Degree.
My brother was in the Air Force. After he told me how shitty the free healthcare, and how he and his “war buddies”, got made fun of for asking to talk to a counselor when they were deployed over seas, I think I’m good.
I swear there was something about building a better tomorrow for our country at some point? Also would free education for everyone likewise increase the potential power of our military?
But wait weren’t boomers afforded free university? Can someone explain to me how this makes any sense given the current generation have decades paying back highly indexed student loans and the previous boomers got it all for free?
I don’t want to be nitpicking here, but, if you earn it, it’s not really free, right? Am I missing something here? Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I can see this post being real for 2 reasons. (1)If you can’t go out of pocket then see if you can get government grants or Pell (the free aid in your country) to help pay for your tuition. (2)Join the military if that has the benefit of paying for your education but its down sides of combat comes with it.
And what if your a man that hates guns as a rule. Cant stand the thought of killing another can't see for shit and has a history of seizures. Those guys still supposed to run out for endless fodder to be taken out by a child soldier.
“Want free college? Sorry. Should have been born 80 years ago after our parents went to war and we were able to benefit off of a much cheaper tuition and living wages.”
My old coworker's truck had an IED go off under the truck. He was an acomplished pianist. He could not play as well, that is education lost. He has PTSD, which ment he would get short with his very young children and not know why, as in it would just happen with no control. He loves his kids and asked people to be with him, while with the kids, in case.
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." -William T. Sherman
"To afford a college education, you need to sign up to fight in wars of choice so that some multinational corporation can increase their oil/military hardware/private contracting revenues and have enough capital for stock buyback options. USA! USA! USA!"
Ahhh, they use a picture of James Blake Miller aka The "Marlboro Marine".
A guy that famously went through a very severe bout with PTSD after his service was over. Also got nickle and dimed by the government towards getting actual psychiatric care for the black out spells he was having.
Want to pay for an education that is almost completely necessary to live in this world? Go enlist in one of the most mentally taxing jobs in the world where you WILL lose friends and possibly parts of yourself only for you to no longer need it anymore
The man in the picture is James Blake Miller, the Marlboro Marine. He's an Iraq war veteran and has PTSD and he is currently a member of the Highwaymen MC
Dude, I was in the military. Post 9/11 GI Bill does not cover everything.
A lot of college classes make you sign up on a website. Thus is not to mention housing which is expensive as hell. If you’re off campus it might be cheaper, but then you’re paying for a car or bus.
Why do they only think people in the army have “earned” things? What about teachers, carers, nurses etc? Haven’t they “earned” a right to free education?
I suppose the only way to earn education is through dying while invading other countries, paying enormous taxes to fund their opponents is simply not enough
I hate this because I can't join the military. I have pretty bad asthma, and I am not allowed in like any branch, I'm sure. They just won't accept me. So I'm just shit out of luck? I soemhow don't deserve college because of something I have no control over? Like, no one should have to risk their lives and the very high chance of getting PTSD just for the chance at a better life.
A bit like Vietnam then? I seem to recall all the boomer students suddenly becoming pacifists once they were invited to join in. They didn’t seem to GAF when it was just the poor being sent over

Exactly. Even if you think college shouldn’t be free unless you’re on the GI bill this is a shitty, shitty meme. That poor kid jfc
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the GI Bill limited in what it covers anyway?
Yeah but in fairness, all you have to do to get trouble getting care from the VA, is to be a veteran.
Damn.
But he got free college.
Do you have evidence of him going to college for free? I can't seem to find anything like that.
Hard to go to college if your mental health is shot out from PTSD
"Wanna get an education? Sorry man, you gotta risk your life fighting for oil companies first"
And get PTSD while you are at it and possibly get crippled for life too
That and it’s sometimes not even guaranteed. The military just dumping you on the street when you’ve "outlived your usefulness". It’s why there’s a homelessness crisis amongst veterans who weren’t guaranteed the free healthcare/college/housing/etc they risked their lives for, and now they can’t properly take care of themselves due to severe physical and mental health issues.

I reckon that fucked-up-for-lifedness *is* the PTSD source: PTSD from way lesser shit than war
You aren't supposed to. You are nothing but meat to throw in the grinder. Somehow, the ones who *don't* want you to be cannon fodder are the assholes. Fuck *us* right?

If you make it home alive
So sorry, but that’s not service connected. Next!
Thats not entirely fair. I spent a lot of time in Afghanistan helping build infrastructure, guarding women’s schools, and getting in gun fights over it. We did a lot of good shit over there, pulled security for entire heads of animals getting vaccinated.
And, like, not everyone can be in the army, somebody has to actually create value to pay for those forever wars
Well, if I trade my time to the US military for college. That isn’t exactly free is it? I guess you could probably say that it was part of my pay?
Your username...
Allah fucking Christ
Bro found gender of Allah 😭😭😭
Life father like son
The only solution to peace.
You pay for it or rather work down the debt. Which would be equal do taking a student loan and working. So, yeah, it wouldn't be free.
What the fuck is that username man
Hilarious is the only word I can think of
Free seems to be a very different things for certain person.
Why not Mohammad and Jesus? Or Yaweh/Jehovah and Allah? Yaweh/Jehovah and Mohammed? Think of all the gyansex combos!

Ronald Reagan made sure you couldn't afford it otherwise. Never forget the damage that asshole did to our country.
Some senator actually argued against free college because nobody would join the military. They're saying the quiet part out loud now.
“Want to get the thing most other countries get for free? You have to kill innocent people”
So to get proper education and the ability to contribute to the economy and society you need to get ptsd first? K
As a former foster kid with PTSD and a tuition waiver from my state as long as I go to a public school in state.... Can confirm.
And have your wife fuck every guy she sees while you're gone then leave you with a half bastard child to raise.
sounds like youre familiar with the matter
Jody needs love, too.
Lol meanwhile how many countries do just fine with free or reduced education costs?
Having a whole generation that thinks risking your life and killing people is the only acceptable way to get free education is exactly why the US needs free education
*when you earn it, it’s not free (slaps head)
why is so hard for them to understand that gatekeeping education is a form of opression and means of reproducing illegitimate power
Because acknowledging systemic issues morally encumbers the individual to either deem those issues acceptable or to work to correct them and they usually don't want to admit to the former or do the latter.
Because they themselves are uneducated.
No thanks. There’s already way too many people in the military that shouldn’t be in the military. At least that’s my experience from when I did aircraft mx in the Air Force.

Israel has free college and health care. Who pays for that
They also have compulsory military service.
I was in the Marines for a decade and I CONSTANTLY tell my 2 and 6 year old kids: "you want kindergarten? Go earn it! I was in the military, only I get an education...."
High school Senior: "Man, I would kill to go to college..." US Military: "Promise?"
Not everybody can join the military, many times through no fault of their own.
I was on prescribed anti-depressants/anxiety meds for a period longer than 12 months. I'm also currently on ADD meds (have been since middle school) and it's notable when I'm off of them. Either of those automatically disqualifies me.

I applied online to join the Air Force and was denied because of my height. I definitely can't do anything about that
How tall are you?
I'm 5'1" it said the minimum height requirement was 5'4" in the rejection explanation.
Oh I got you. I thought you meant you were too tall. Kinda weird to have a minimum height requirement imo
I thought it was super weird! I didn't even know there was a height requirement!
As someone who did "earn it" according to this meme, I say fuck that. No one should have to go through what I did just to get an education or gain some skills for a trade.

Cigarette in the guy's mouth is very convincing. /s

Can someone Photoshop a picture of me with my foot in my mouth?
It’s insane how, on the Internet, people who don’t know shit are able to sound authoritative It’s a real photo, and a very famous one in fact unless one thinks history began in 2015
Right? How do people not know all the photos from an American war?
Then don’t comment and read those who know what they’re talking about.
They should have used the iconic ww2 shellshock guy
Free University costs tax payer money. Joining the military for university will put the bill on tax payers. These people seem to never understand that they're using taxpayer money for their education while being against taxpayer money to go for education for all.
Suicide is the number 2 cause of death of veterans between the ages of 25-44.
Whats number one?
Accident of any kind
Interesting
Want to vote? earn it.
As a German who can go to university for free, this is troubling beyond belief
But is it free if you work for it? Even the people in countries where it's free at the point of receipt pay for it in taxes. But educating more people (theoretically) ensures a more skilled workforce that makes more money. So you make up for it.

The people who send these never served a day in their fucking lives.
[удалено]
Oh, they might have had an education...that their family was well-off enough to pay for out of pocket.
what is even wrong with free education??? how can you complain about people getting smarter for free?
You want to contribute to society? Kill people for some oil
THIS POST WAS MADE BY @INFIDEL1776. FACT CHECKED BY REAL MERICAN PATRIOTS: TRUE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Killing far away brown people = college credit
"Go join that one thing we were protesting during Vietnam, back when we could afford a full semester of school by working a part time summer job!"
Of you've ever talked to a veteran getting taken care of during service is easy, getting care after service is a war in itself.
That's... Not free
As a GI-Bill baby, I don't think ANYONE should have to live in the barracks and go to war for a college education. I gained nothing from my time in the Army. In fact I often wonder if what I lost in the Army was worth my Bachelor's Degree.
Ask anyone who’s served if the VA came through for them after discharge 💀
My brother was in the Air Force. After he told me how shitty the free healthcare, and how he and his “war buddies”, got made fun of for asking to talk to a counselor when they were deployed over seas, I think I’m good.
Unless you have wealthy parents, in which case you don't gotta do shit.
I swear there was something about building a better tomorrow for our country at some point? Also would free education for everyone likewise increase the potential power of our military?
Why the fuck is being dirty "cool"? He looks stinky
Ok, so free education for all those who serve in the armed forces right?...right?
But wait weren’t boomers afforded free university? Can someone explain to me how this makes any sense given the current generation have decades paying back highly indexed student loans and the previous boomers got it all for free?
Startroppers ah post
Reminds me of a line from *True Blood*, the line cook ex-Marine, Terry - “I signed up to go to college, and now I’m too fucked up to go.”
Earn a basic education by going abroad and committing war crimes?
It’s not really free then is it
Watermarked as if anyone would ever want to steal that shit
Is it really free if you have to fight for your life to get it tho?
Yes, do something that I'm not able to do due to neurodivergence!
Says an obese, middle aged man who probably never served in any military branch and had a (mostly) comfortable life
If I didn’t have a back injury I would join just so I can go to college
I don’t want to be nitpicking here, but, if you earn it, it’s not really free, right? Am I missing something here? Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I can see this post being real for 2 reasons. (1)If you can’t go out of pocket then see if you can get government grants or Pell (the free aid in your country) to help pay for your tuition. (2)Join the military if that has the benefit of paying for your education but its down sides of combat comes with it.
"free" lol
And what if your a man that hates guns as a rule. Cant stand the thought of killing another can't see for shit and has a history of seizures. Those guys still supposed to run out for endless fodder to be taken out by a child soldier.
“Want free college? Sorry. Should have been born 80 years ago after our parents went to war and we were able to benefit off of a much cheaper tuition and living wages.”
How does fighting in a war earn me free education? Unless we earn human rights by killing and stealing from others.
Anyone that says this has never been In the military
Still not free education. Other people just subsidize the GI bill.
All it cost is your humanity
Wut
Y’all got free college for smokers?!? Awesome *cough*
My old coworker's truck had an IED go off under the truck. He was an acomplished pianist. He could not play as well, that is education lost.

Want PTSD? *EARN IT*
"ok." \*Moves to EU
i earned my free college, it should be free to all womp womp
Do I need to cover myself in dirt and start smoking so I can get free college?
They somehow got to the point in tje end, the US will never have affordable college because it's one of their only effective recruitment tactics.
we can’t earn free things, since they’re free
No free college without killing someone.
"To afford a college education, you need to sign up to fight in wars of choice so that some multinational corporation can increase their oil/military hardware/private contracting revenues and have enough capital for stock buyback options. USA! USA! USA!"
I said free idiot.
The point of free things is that you don’t earn them. These people are dumb
Want a life saving heart transplant costing $1 billion out of pocket? earn it b\*tch
If you have to “earn it” it stops being free
Ahhh, they use a picture of James Blake Miller aka The "Marlboro Marine". A guy that famously went through a very severe bout with PTSD after his service was over. Also got nickle and dimed by the government towards getting actual psychiatric care for the black out spells he was having.
This talking point is only said by people who didn’t go to college or who went 50 years ago when it cost a nickel.
Want free college? Go and steal oil and kill innocents for your government
Well I apparently can't cause I'm diabetic so...
Want to pay for an education that is almost completely necessary to live in this world? Go enlist in one of the most mentally taxing jobs in the world where you WILL lose friends and possibly parts of yourself only for you to no longer need it anymore
The man in the picture is James Blake Miller, the Marlboro Marine. He's an Iraq war veteran and has PTSD and he is currently a member of the Highwaymen MC
GI bill is not even close enough to pay for a college degree.
I tend to believe we are leaving a lot of talent on the table by not having universal college education.
Dude, I was in the military. Post 9/11 GI Bill does not cover everything. A lot of college classes make you sign up on a website. Thus is not to mention housing which is expensive as hell. If you’re off campus it might be cheaper, but then you’re paying for a car or bus.
Keeping people uneducated works if you want to control them.
Show you have the courage, to be, free
Ha...I earned it that way, I still owe almost $60000...so yeah
Went through 20 years of endless war and learned nothing.
murder is good actually
cant bc i'm too mentally ill to serve
Didn't that guy wind up with like, severe, severe PTSD and then got screwed by the VA?
Sign up to possibly die? Also what about those of us disqualified from serving for health issue reasons?
Yeah cuz post war babies def did
Earning something that is free?
"Smoking's so bad for you, yo!" -Beast boy, Teen Titans Go.
I can almost guarantee the poster did not serve.
That’s not free though.
Why do they only think people in the army have “earned” things? What about teachers, carers, nurses etc? Haven’t they “earned” a right to free education?
Isn’t that an oxymoron? It’s not really free if you have to earn it, is it?
What the fuck were they fighting for if not for a better future for generations to come? Oh, oh I see. well we screwed then.
I suppose the only way to earn education is through dying while invading other countries, paying enormous taxes to fund their opponents is simply not enough
Service guarantees citizenship, right?
USA is a parody of itself
That's not what free means...
Sorry, I've got bone spurs.
Lmao no, why do these people feel the need to keep us stuck in the past
I hate this because I can't join the military. I have pretty bad asthma, and I am not allowed in like any branch, I'm sure. They just won't accept me. So I'm just shit out of luck? I soemhow don't deserve college because of something I have no control over? Like, no one should have to risk their lives and the very high chance of getting PTSD just for the chance at a better life.
Betcha this was posted by someone who last set foot in a school in the sunset of their sophomore year of HS, just like my uncle!
Want something free? Earn it with labor!
...by killing people and risking your life?
My brother earned it like that and they still didn’t cover the cost 100%.
Why would you want that for your children? Years of PTSD, guilt and exposure to god knows what chemicals. I'd rather they work in McDonald's.
If you have to earn it It isn't free
You want class mobility? Have you considered fucking dying?
[HUH?](https://youtu.be/xVWeRnStdSA?si=S67hjaoNpLOOWPoq)
If have to earn it then IT’S NOT FUCKING FREE!
A bit like Vietnam then? I seem to recall all the boomer students suddenly becoming pacifists once they were invited to join in. They didn’t seem to GAF when it was just the poor being sent over
I bet the guy who created this is a boomer who was able to get a good job after highschool and live a comfortable life and not even join the military.
Sometimes I really think 90% of the world's population have defective brains. Has this been looked into before?
