Right wingers only punch down. Cops are powerful, therefore they have the full sympathy of the right. Kids, women, the poor... no power, no sympathy.

they also recoil in horror at the thought of any marginalized people having any power at all.

Reminds me of that scene in The Departed when Di Caprio's character roasts cops for having to see a therapist for pulling their gun when that's exactly what they signed up for

If you look at his post history, he seems basically like a normie who really likes character art. He probably doesn't think about politics much and prides himself on being "apolitical". This is a good demonstration of how most normal people who are not in a persecuted group still respect and like the police. The comments and replies are full of people bitching about people "bringing politics" into a nice picture, most of whom have no political post history at all.
Just normie stuff.

Because violence is cool, unless its sexual then its awkward and we pretend it doesn't happen.

Vets choose ptsd from war the way poor people of color choose brain damage from playing football. The military recruits from the poor and disadvantaged. The average age of service is 19, not entry, service. You can join the military at 17 before you graduate high school. Blaming the individuals for the structural problems created and perpetuated by a capitalist system of perpetual warfare is not the problem. Attack the cause, not the symptom
A lot of us were stupid kids and acknowledge that fact. Many have no illusions of the service we had and the evil we took part in. Now we suffer with those actions and deal with the daily remorse that comes with it. 22 vets a day commit suicide for a reason, not to mention intentional car accidents or drug abuse.
No war but class war, an injury to one is an injury to all, solidarity. It’s not just about saying these things it’s realizing that we are not our own enemies. The ones who led us here and let this happen, are.

This is exactly like the "few rotten apples" shit people say about cops. Are you really claiming there's a significant amount of military personnel that regret what they've done or been a part of out of a sense of ethics?
I don't give a shit about the background of these murderers and murder enablers. The military can go fuck itself. If brainwashing is a valid excuse to justify the actions of or forgive people doing or supporting horrible things, why not feel that way for right wingers? Or the kids of rich cunts? Shit, how about cops?
Those vets aren't killing themselves because of guilt. Plenty of them have it despite never having shot anyone or even seen an "enemy." Fuck the military, except the 3 and a half people like you that realize how fucked up it is.

Myself, the other two of us, and a pair of severed legs thank you.

Sorry you have been so fucked up over this. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to have this illness thrust upon you.
I only aim to try and make right the harm that I caused. Nothing more. Empathy bonds us, and binds us, I hope that you see we may have had very different backgrounds but it doesn’t mean we are not on the same team now.

+40% unarmed damage against his wife

+8 to hit favored enemy (family)

Unearthed arcana revised cop so it gives +2 dmg to family too.

win the campaign by marrying the main antagonist for extra damage

PTSD is more of a Bond. Ideal would be white supramacy (lawful evil). A flaw would be that he beats his wife.

He’s mourning the loss of his wife, whom he pummeled to death with his bare fists. He’s crying because he now is left to beat his children, neither of whom can take a fucking punch
24
Holy shit. Go off, king.
11
Haunted by the ghost of his dead wife
23
That he beat to death. Or does that go without saying?
8
There is a very good chance
6
40% chance, to be precise
7
If we already know she's dead, its more than 40%

DM: "The Queen of Plagues rises behind our heroes bocking their escape!"
Jorne the Paladin, "I can't heal our socereor, my blade is broken."
Thile the Ranger, "We're all out of ammunition here, what can we do?"
Blake the Cop: "Guys I got this, so you'se a Queen right? That makes you a wife!"
15
Holding the dogtags of his army buddies PTSD and SOME GAVE ALL, strange names you might think but this is the Khaleesi generation.
Also kinda looks more like he's just been surprised by a proposal from from his partner at a leather bar but that might be because I've seen too much Tom of Finland art.
10
I hope there's some kid out they're whose first name is Don'tTreadOnMe

I don't give a single fuck about military and police PTSD victims. Sometimes God punishes you when you're still alive, not my problem.

The military relies on being the last option for many young people and is heavily advertised in mass media to young men and boys, Call of Duty, Transfomers etc are all recruitment tools. With a twisted sense of what the military is and often no other options young people are then further indoctrinated into the military after they join. Of the small percent that become front line troops, many never fire their weapons and any people they kill are at extreme range, outside of that which they can be identified as a human silhouette. It's very difficult to get someone to kill someone else, thus all the dehumanization that goes on in the media and in military parlance.
10-20% of US veterans develop PTSD, 23% of women in the military are sexually assaulted, many more men and women report sexual harassment.
The military is just another way of hurting poor people comrade.

I was tempted multiple times to enlist, going so far as to talk to recruiters, and every time I realized "job training" and my own sense of worth wasn't worth the lives of innocent people. Maybe if I'd had children or something there MIGHT be an added impetus to that, but in general I don't buy the "only way out of poverty" line. You joined the military after Iraq, you deserve whatever you got, which was certainly much less than what happened to hundreds of thousands of innocent children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, etc.
That needs to be constantly reiterated, socialist veterans should denounce their "service" and everything it means and the direct visceral horror of our global empire should be emphasized over the more subtle violence that happens at home.

It's certainly not their only way out and also many of them blow the money on corvettes I should have structured my argument better.
When you're young and stupid and all of culture, including films and the stickers on trucks are telling you joining the military will fix all your problems. I don't think you're in full control of the decision, just in the way you're not really in full control of the decision when you buy and heavily advertised product.
Personally anyone in the military, explicitly anyone that's not an officer, has the benefit of my doubt. I think a huge amount of them did know what they were singing up for, or at least when they realized it became a feature not an inconvenience. However there are lots of victims in the military and we shouldn't write them off or condemn their mental illness as deserved, I wouldn't wish PTSD on anyone.

Bear in mind, these are just reported numbers.

Cool the military is bad, but victimhood does not bestow righteousness and you’d need an electron microscope to see the violin I play for American soldiers
5
To an extent I'm patronizingly robbing them of agency to make them into victims.
But I just don't think it's a simple as 'soldiers bad,' the military and it's actions are objectively evil. I also doubt the ability of soldiers to ignore illegal orders, but people like Chelsea Manning have done the right thing. You can't tell me that she's the only person that's been exploited by the system or that she is unique in challenging it.

Glad you have had no regretful decisions you struggle with. Nobody wants your sympathy, just to make right.
1
whoops accidentally volunteered to fly halfway across the world to wage a war of aggression on people who never did me harm
but then again everyone has regrets right? Live and let live; that’s what I always say!

Solidarity comrade, solidarity.

Saw this earlier today and my eyes rolled so hard I almost threw up.

He has some of his wife’s blood on his vest and fingers. That’s a nice, realistic touch.
8
The blood of innocent citizens still fresh on his hands
7
I’m sad because I gunned down 4 black teenagers in the last 3 years :(
6
Chapo d20 modern game where felix plays officer Joey Prozboziak pls
4
do you think they’d make one for all the people who have PTSD because of cops?
3
Fuck, I thought this was on r/dndmemes and everyone was fucking woke
3
Sadly not the case. For some bizarre reason the online D&D community is quite shitlib trending towards reactionary
1
In all seriousness, I’d love to have a formerly idealistic cop who had to confront the racism and state violence built into his job. This is him after seeing his partner shoot a black kid and get away with it. He’s about to quit and be the new John Brown

This is my character, Thumb Head. He's a good cop who got PTSD from having to shoot a tiny baby and a dog with several clips of his assault rifle. It was a scary baby and a dog so he is justified, but it still gives him PTSD which is unfair
He likes to cry and hold his PTSD amulet like a little baby. He also pisses his cop uniform a lot from the sadness and fear.
He is a variant-human and for his first feat I have selected dog-shoot
He is a Warlock and his dog dags are his spell focus to Natham Bedford Foresst.
my toon begins to blubber and cry about liberals as he casts eldritch blast
Those things eventually become his phylactery
At Level 1 this class gains the Racial Enemy feat for free.
At level 7 he picks an additional racial enemy and at 15 he gains all non-original race sapient bane
*also dogs
Background Feature (Guard): You cannot be arrested for Murder while in uniform.
Goblins also hate dogs. Are cops half goblin?
In the bright cinematic universe add on pack
no but goblins are half-cop
Now do one that says “the troops are so sad after invading half the world and raping little girls and shooting 7 year old farmers”
It's the cop from the shapiro novel
Officer potato o'famine
officer drunky o'carbomb
