Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.
Wannabe.
Nothing more.

wanna bet he’s a 92f or some shit?

ohlaph@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Exactly. Most actual soldiers would say Marine, etc. rarely use soldier.
WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Unless they are in the Army. Then they would rightfully call themselves a soldier. Soldier, Airman, Marine, Seaman, Guardian and Spacie. I guess not sure on the last one

Guardian… haha… Finally the semen have someone they can laugh at.

Eh, a lot of did stupid stuff like put a CIB sticker on or something. This is a whole 'nother level.

This screams boot to me, lol. I bet you the financed it at something ridiculous too.
Is there an r/JustBootThings on Lemmy or Kbin? Some of the shit on there was hilarious.
frickineh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah that shit was pretty much the epitome of r/JustBootThings
Maggoty@lemmy.world 11 months ago
We were all boots once. Some of grew out of it.

Boot?
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Boot is a derisive term referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement (“thank me for my service!”).

Pogue. The word is pogue. As in Pogie bait.
POG is a backronym and must be obliterated with prejudice.
