Oh sorry yeah if you're on duty and they're just coming by the base in street clothes I think it's different than if you're both off duty and going to the store or whatever

My only personal experience with this was the dude who joined the Army Rangers after high school coming back to give a talk to our class about his experiences and him being all twitchy and triggered by people saluting him

Like when he came in in his dress uniform some dude was like "Atten-SHUN!" and saluted him and he was like "DON'T fucking do that" and the dude was like "Hey it's just a joke man" and he's like "NOT even as a joke"

I gotta say I didn't know him that well but he sure didn't really seem happy or okay It wasn't this performative Marine "Don't you disrespect the tradition!" thing, it was like people breaking military protocol actually triggered him

I feel like a lot of people who don't take to military life find it stressful that they've been programmed with all these rules that just don't make any sense in the outside world and that it's a pain in the ass to explain to civilians who are allowed to act any way they want

It's kind of like growing up with abusive parents

I've literally never known one of these spec ops guys to show up at a high school to talk about their jobs and not be extremely tweaked

This secret service guy showed up in high school and he bragged to the class he spoke to about "disappearing" some guy in a bar that disrespected one of the Bush twins and said "he could be in Abu-Ghraib for all I know right now" or something to that effect

I don't remember anything about his actual talk, I just remember afterwards all his old buddies who'd looked up to him when he was a senior gathered around asking for him to punch them "I wanna say I got laid out by an Army Ranger!"

If I didn't know you I would joke about this being an unintentional diss on your mom rather than an intentional diss
