The thumbs down just says they don't agree with their opinion or the way they said it. Nowhere does a thumbs down say "I'm not grateful for your service."

Saying "buck up" is just fine.

Because they have the freedom to express their opinion.

It's this opinion that frustrates me sometimes.

Now you're losing me. It's just not the same thing.

So nobody can complain unless you are in active combat?

I'm not saying they don't. It just seems ridiculous and ungrateful to thumbs

Saying their service isn't distinctive is very ungrateful.

Your only defense of those guys was the notion that combat experience isn't any

What did his post have to do with the military-industrial complex?

flyusaf

I honestly don't know what you are talking about.

Well the MI complex and the public perception of military members themselves are

The people who thumb downed probably don't like the MI complex

Shimmy

I don't always like the MI complex. A lot of people don't for good reasons.

Heck, Ike was famously wary of the MI complex.
