Also, just like military/vets get tired of the constant “am I getting drafted?” Or “are we going to war?” stuff, just because you are in the Army doesn’t mean you are an expert on geopolitics, strategic level combat operations, or hell even operational level stuff. Try to keep your opinions in your zone of expertise. I’ve already seen some “I’m in the Army and this is what Russia is doing tactically/operationally/strategically!”
Like calm down, you are an E5 in the infantry, not a damned general. Right now people are a bit on edge and nervous, giving uninformed opinions on how WW3 is going to break out while saying you are active or a veteran isn’t helping, especially when so many of them are just absolutely shit opinions.

To be fair to that 11B E5, I don't think many of our GOs are experts in geopolitics or strategy either.

What's the point of joining the military if not to win internet arguments.

I'm a commander of a NG unit and the amount of texts I've got asking if we are getting deployed is fucking stupid....
No one is telling info to a fucking NG CPT.... We are basically E4's with a college degree and sat through ROTC.....

I’m a cook in the guard and I think through the power of spoiled rations, Russia will lose this war
