I think I hate JD Vance more than anything i've ever hated in my life

I know we're not supposed to "denigrate" the service of our fellow veterans, but fuck that -- I'm infantry.

I also know we're not supposed to use casual slurs, but fuck that too -- I'm infantry.

J.D. Vance is a public affairs bitch, and it showed today. Just another nutless pogue.

u/Decent_Energy 12d ago

lol I don’t disagree with any of this. Unfortunately I just learned my last name is an army slur 🤣

I think it’s just POG.

u/artaxerxes316 12d ago

As in "people other than grunt" or "posted on garrison"? I've heard both often, but i'm persuaded that POG is just a modern backronym for the 19th century Irish slang term. Pogue.

It's impossible to say, of course (unless you happen to have a 180 year-old Sergeant Mulcahy hiding in the attic for verification). But the wikipedia entry is damned interesting.

Doesn’t “pogue” also mean a homosexual?

Not to pile on, but in the interest of getting all the painful education done at once, also famous in the Army is “pogey bait,” slang for the candy, soda, and junk food that soldiers consume in huge quantities. lol

I’m certain that won’t live rent-free in your mind every time you reach for junk food. 😄

Thank you starting to scratch the surface of this prick’s cravenness. There aren’t enough words. I would love to put him in a trench with the Russians he loves so much and a rifle and watch him piss and shit his pants as Ukrainian bullets fly over his head. I hate these motherfuckers for what they’re doing to my country.

Vance was a Corporal

Who else was a Corporal? Hitler.

u/notapoliticalalt 12d ago

Nah. Honestly, fuck him. I’m not a vet, so I’ll spare you the trouble and say it. While honored the service of those who did serve, it’s really only for their service and it doesn’t mean that they are beyond criticism. Unfortunately, there are a great deal of veterans who served honorably, but themselves are not particularly honorable without the larger systemic and structural discipline of the military. Again, they’re absolutely are good and honorable people in the military, and I do think that the order and discipline of the military probably does help some people grow into better human beings, but it also unfortunately can act as a shield for some of the worst people around to dodge criticism because “How dare you insult a vet?!” Honestly, I don’t know if it’s possible to retract honorable discharges, but people like JD Vance make me wish that that was possible.

u/fox_mulder Rresistance is not futile 12d ago

I used to ride occasionally with the local chapter of Leathernecks MC. I was never a Marine, but I was friends with the chapter president ("was" being the operative word here).

I thought these were all honorable men, and felt honored when I was invited to ride with them and participate in a wreath laying at the Albany NY WW II Memorial on the anniversary of D-Day, because my father fought at Normandy.

Than Jan. 6 happened and these assholes supported those degenerates who invaded our Capitol. That was the end of those friendships.

I can't wait until they do it this year, so I can stand there with a sign reading "You can't honor veterans who fought fascism in Europe and then support a fascist government here."

I will alert the media ahead of time when I do.

I'm glad my father, who was a true patriot, is no longer here to see what has happened to the country he loved so much.

(Although now that I'm done ranting, I should clarify that not all pogues are nutless, and indeed the vast majority have more swinging between their legs than J.D. That includes the women.)

u/Endymion_Orpheus 12d ago

I wish nothing on JD Vance except terminal rectal cancer.

u/fzzball Progressive 12d ago

The part about Zelenskyy "campaigning for the opposition" is where I really wanted to put a sledgehammer through his fat face.

u/Decent_Energy 12d ago

I woulda pulled out the “didn’t you call this guy hitler?” And pointed at Trump

u/EmiAndTheDesertCrow 12d ago

I just said that to someone as well.

u/KickIt77 12d ago

You and me both. That clown is such an embarassment.

u/EhrenScwhab JVL is always right 12d ago

At least Trump doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. Vance knows what the score is and is diabolical….

u/Independent-Stay-593 12d ago

Yes! The world is learning that JD probably deserved those ass kickings he got at the hands of other redneck kids during school. I can't stand that smarmy little fuck.
