A guy at work is in the National Guard.....
....and has told me at least three different stories where he was discriminated against by food service workers and theater patrons for being so.

He walks around in his National Guard uniform all the time.

By the way, he is a habitual liar.

Discuss.

1. Ask him, "Do you think it's because you're in the Guard?
Or just because you're an asshole?"

2. Around here, wearing a military uniform buys you all kinds of perks
including cheap movie tickets. People practically kneel in front of military guys and offer bjs. Really. I could live with the kind of "discrimination" the military puts up with.

3. Is he also a conservative?

They're persecuted in myriad ways as well.

The poor dears.

4. He likes Sean Hannity
So, yes. He tries to act like he only leans right. He clearly has issues with Jews as well.

I also think he's in the closet. I'm serious.

5. Are you sure he is in the Guard?
If as you say he is wearing the uniform "all the time". My BS meter would be hitting close to max without proof of the claim.

6. He is in the guard.....
He has documentation for the various times he needs out of work for.

But you are correct in that we think they wouldn't appreciate how he finds so many opportunites to be in public in his uniform.

9. It may very well be against the law, military and civilian,
for him to wear the uniform all the time.

My brother finished 20 years in the Navy and other than photos I can't remember seeing him in uniform.

7. I routinely spit on members of the military, and tell pregnant women they should kill their babies
:shrug:

Being a liberal stereotype is so rough. :cry:

8. I think this guy has come to buy those urban legends wholesale
Too bad he makes himself look like a moron doing it.
