do you enjoy being a disposable pawn of your governments foreign policy some of the time or not any of the time?
Do you enjoy being a naive douche who believes whatever you’re told?
I like ur insult better
And I am looking forward to FREE HEALTHCARE, paid for by YOU! I love it! Can’t you people admit that WE are in control now? I get to share in the fruits of YOUR labor! It gives me more time to play video games and attend protests, ya know.
yeah we should just let the responsible healthcare industry charge whatever they want, deny converage whenever they feel like it. We should also believe whatever we are told by the media to think because the healthcare industry tells them what to say.
here here! My rates are getting higher and higher and they won’t even cover a cent of dental, WTF am i paying for???
oh yeah, their yachts and vacations to Tahiti, i got it, i got it.
Don’t take this personally, but if you are paying “higher and higher” rates and they “won’t even cover a cent of dental,” I would not pay any more.
P.S. As opposed to the Congressmen, Senators, and First Lady vacations?
no it’s paid for by YOU the taxes to pay for veterans before and after their service and to keep your liberal dream alive will eventually bankrupt us to honestly show how bankrupt we already are Nixon is laughing at us in his grave, maybe this is why he went to China to open a line of credit…..And reagan tried to hold off the realisation the Dumb way and now we’ll never get to smoke pot legally
Do you enjoy all the freedoms you have in the greatest country in the world. Then thank a vet you sorry piece of #*^%
As a matter of fact I do. I enjoy knowing that members of my family before and after me will continue to defend our great nation so that people like you have the right to bash those who defend their rights.
i enjoy it all the time. i’m in the army and i LOVE blowing @#$% up!!!
SPC Wilson…you are my favorite.
do enjoy your life and your freedom while a Marine just got killed in Afganistan fighting for that feedom some of the time or not any of the time?
This is the most insulting graph I’ve seen since I subscribed to the feed. Obviously you and no family member has ever served. It’s almost too bad you can’t be assigned to Afghanistan for a 6 month tour.
How’s that stick in your ass feel? My dad served for over twenty years. My brother just came back from Iraq. This is pretty much on par with many jokes they’ve made about the military.
I think it’s HA-lary-us. It would be one HOOAH by the way, ya know, like THIS IS SPARTA!!!!
Yeah, what you said.
I work for the campus paper. There are several current or former soldiers. Pretty sure all of them would agree – this is quite amusing.
I’m currently serving and it made me laugh.
What I find funnier than the graph is the fact that you seem to think a civilian made it. And you’ve made it completely clear that you yourself are a civilian. If I’m wrong on that account, then I’m sure you’re considered the “buzzkill” of your unit.
Agreeing to what the other two said. My boyfriend’s been in for five years, already done a tour in Iraq (where he was caught in an explosion and injured), soon to be deployed for an 18 month tour in Afghanistan, AND he’s Infantry. One of the first emails I got from him was him complaining about how much he hates his job because of that whole getting up at 4 A.M. but you get him in the right moment and he’s all about doing this as a career. And I know if I showed him this graph, he’d get a great laugh out of it.
These men and women willingly do a difficult job. They face a reality that few American civilians will ever know. I think they have been afforded the right to make jokes about what they do.
you write from the perspective of not being in. everyone i showed this to laughed their asses off. must be from having to be in afghanistan more than 6 months, or iraq for 18.
do they still do pt in the airforce, or is it just when the afn cameras come around to shoot fit for duty. most of the usaf pts i’ve seen via afn were in the office anyway.
I served for 8 years in 4 continents and 2 combat zones. I agree with this graph. I would actually move the level of fun up a bit across the board. And there is nothing more enjoyable to a vet than to have a complete stranger buy them a drink just because they serve.
My husband’s an Iraqi vet and he found this graph both amusing and relatable. He LOLed.
Ya know, I was an MP and this made ME laugh so just chill out and if it’s really THAT BAD…drink some water, change your socks and rub some dirt on it…you’ll be fine.
Lighten up man, it’s supposed to be funny. I thought it was freakin hilarious. Especially the part about 4 mile runs with a hangover at 4 a.m.
You’re in the army now,
You’re not behind the plow,
You’re diggin’ a ditch,
[[THIS BLACK SPACE IS PRESENTED TO YOU BY THE OFFICE OF CENSORSHIP]]
You’re in the army now!
Hmm… I miss the “enjoyment level” of “being sent away for months at a time to a foreign country where people mostly regard you with hostility” and “the danger of encountering landmines/boobytraps/enemy fire”… Overall, a graph FAIL.
And yet, anyone who seems to know enough about actual military life seems to find it spot on and funny.
Tell you what, when they make a graph about what it’s like being an uppity, self-centered bitch, everyone will leave all the comments to you. Ok?
I think that was covered under “Day Duty.”
A lot have office jobs.
I guess nobody who is in the Army loves it.
I got a friend over in Afghanistan now. From the sporadic communication I get from him he basically says its the most boring thing ever.
Do you know what a line graph is?
Do you know what being funny is?
Graph WIN! I do NOT miss those 0-dark-thirty PT mornings…
Thanks Heather
Obviously the commentators here know no one in the military. Because all of the men I know in the Marines, Army, and Air Force (ok, they don’t count) say the same thing.
Epic Graph Win.
Yeah, it’s a little different here in Israel, since mandatory service means no-one thinks you’re anything special. but from what I’ve gleaned from U.S servicemen this is pretty much spot on.
less than 1.5% of the american population will ever experience military life, which is why we get a kick out of it and the rest of them think, wow this isn’t funny at all.
The only one we won’t say the same of in the Chair Force is the 4am pt. 6am with a hangover isn’t much better though.
Ditto. The only thing better than a free drink from a stranger is free drinks from about thirty strangers!

I don’t claim to have been in the army, but am about the only person in my family who wasn’t. That said, based on what they all told me, I love the second level from the bottom best.
I’m in the army, and I can definitely agree on all of that. I can’t count the number of times I had the thought “This wasn’t in the recruitment video…” And yeah, 0430 PT with a hangover… know that story.
Made me laugh a bit, especially since my last day Active is this Thursday, makes me smile that I don’t gotta do anymore of them formations or play Army.
what about killing innocents? US army apparently loves doing that,,,
What about risking their lives so ungrateful little cowards can live their useless lives in peace…. They just love doing that.
They kill inocents for oil, so you guys can have confort in your houses, when there is 1million people in Gaza hungry and cold. Yeah, its easy to enjoy the life safety (provided by your lovely army) and don’t give a s* about international stuff when there is no risk of a bomb drop on your head.
You’re getting the Army confused with politicians. Politicians are the ones who care about oil. The Army is just doing a job no different than you or me. And they make their best effort to minimize noncombative casualties.
I don’t remember a significant drop in oil prices in the last few years.
your a uneducated idiot! Killing innocents, is that what we do now?
America does more than any other country in the world to help the starving and the destitute around the world. We care very deeply. We have an army because like every other nation in the world, we can not survive without men and women who are willing to enforce what our leaders have deemed good for our country. Without this there would be anarchy and there would be bombs falling down on all our heads. I do not personally support the war
but I do support our troops. Not everything they are ordered to do is right but without their unswavering devotion to their country America could not exist. My country is flawed, but it is still great.
Yah, if you arn’t going to cheer for the home team get out of the stadium. ^^
Or, as I like to say, if you don’t want to stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them.
LMFAO
well said. I don’t support the war either, and I feel the same way.
Notice how civilians find this graph humorless, insulting and even “stupid.” Anyone who has worn the uniform, whether blue dungarees or MARPAT camouflage, finds this hi-larious, and see a “thank you” to those who recognize our service (even though we may have to pay for it next morning at PT!). Thanks, folks!
Don’t lump all us civilians together!
Wow. I was just planning to comment on how I make it a point to thank service men and women in uniform whenever I see them when I realized that clueless folk were dissing this graph. My dad was career Air Force, as was my beloved step-dad. My maternal grandfather served in the Army, and my paternal grandfather in the Navy. My mother’s brother, my beloved uncle, served in the Air Force, as did my own son.
Having grown up as an Air Force brat, and having to have defended myself (at age 13) against an ignorant teacher who said my family was a drain on society, I can say with authority that this graph is friggin hilarious.
I actually get a bigger lift from the thanks of strangers than from military discounts. I do agree about the 4am wake-up, tho.
Too bad only servicemembers will understand and appreciate the humor of your graph, Xeno. I couldn’t have put it better than Sgt. Mike did. While I am a proud Marine, many a time goes by where I find myself on the side of “the recruiter lied”. If you’re a civilian and you don’t understand this graph, think about the last time you said out loud: “I hate my job”. I can guarantee it was less than 3 hours ago. Then go to work hungover the next morning!
As a civilian myself (for now), I can’t say I totally understand it, but I do still find it hilarious. Maybe that’s just because I spend so much time around the Marine recruiters and poolees.
For the record, however, I’ve never said I hate my job. It’s completely fantastic.
Only 4 miles?! The army must be getting soft!
*cough* 5.
I think this “lib” character needs to settle down. I’m sorry the military didn’t take your video game playing fat ass because you probably have something wrong with you or are just, in general, a genetic loser and have something wrong with you. Otherwise, you have the wrong perspective about the military. The act is that the military does not have a political or cultural bias, we just do our job to defend America’s best interests, namely promoting democracy throughout the world so people like you can sleep safe at night, wake up in the morning to post comments like yours on internet sites and go to protests by early afternoon. If it was not for our beloved Armed Service members, you would no longer have that freedom. Try arguing and I could easily use several examples of how we could have lost America AND democracy if it were not for the U.S. Military.
this is my buddies life in a nutshell. every bit of it
Hey, you don’t want to stand behind us soldiers? Why don’t you stand in front of us instead?
Oh, and no taxes on base goes along with the military discounts.
Not all liberals are like “lib.” Don’t lump us all together. Liberals aren’t one homogenous group that all thinks exactly the same. My husband’s a liberal and he serves. Also, we live in Boston, one of the most liberal cities in the nation, and no one’s ever given him anything but appreciation and respect for his service.
What’s he doing in the service?
i considered making one of these relative to being deployed, which i am now, but it kinda fell through due to lack of ideas and what not. good graph i can relate to it as can my company
Haven’t been in the Army for 6 years with two Iraq tours under my belt, I can honestly say this is probably the most accurate depiction of how we usually feel. I love it.
Hah! This is so dead-on! Thanks for the laugh!
i showed this to my platoon, all grunts, and everyone of them laughed as much as i did, great job
also im not sure if it changes the name or not above, but i posted as cannibalmike prior to recommenting as my MOS.
although something about preforming details should be on here, ohh how i hate details…
haha, this was really funny to me. and i’ve been wildly entertained by all the comments. i love all you pretentious “screw the troops” people. i get a huge kick out of your idiocy. im not in the army yet, but i leave for basic early next year. id like to take a moment and thank everyone who is currently serving or is a vet for their service. it means a lot to me that you guys care about your country and its citizens, and want to protect them and their freedom. even the freedom to be a total douche bag. i can’t wait to be numbered among you.
I’m going to go off-topic here and point out – HOOAH! is the Marines, not Army…
Epic fail. Hoo-ah is army, oo-rah is marines.
god hates the US army
Just about perfect! The stink of booze coming out of everybody’s pores during morning PT, wow. Flashbacks. The part that always made me laugh was how fast everybody whipped out a smoke after a PT run, crazy.
There are some really ignorant comments in this thread. Awesome.
Ha ha! Now that takes me back! I swear, monday morning on Camp Hansen in Okinawa, that was like being in a burning brewery or something! I got tipsy just from the smell of the hungover bastard in front of me!
And what about those crazies who smoked BEFORE the run?
hahahahah this is SO true!!
I saw 2 deer boning in my back yard and my first thought was that they would be delicious with potatoes.
thoughts?
I think that all the trolls got together and gangbanged this graph…
Oh, wait, no “Todd”…
Either way, THANK YOU SOLDIERS!!
HOOAH! Thank you veteran’s and current soldiers, can’t wait to join you in serving the good old stars n’ stripes!!
