I have noticed a remarkable correlation between “veterans who were file clerks” and “being loud mouthed violent MAGAs.”
I’ve also known a bunch of people with extremely serious combat experience who are committed progressives and leftists.
They also generally assume that combat vets will side with them too. Fun fact: Every single vet I know who's a fascist was a fucking file clerk or something who might've touched a weapon once a year and has no idea how to use it in real world conditions
My idiot brother whose service consisted of "trying to blow up a Walmart near Ft Hood with a howitzer" is super gung ho military rah rah maga. My friend's kid who is an Army Ranger is super lefty.
