Saying "buck up" is just fine.

It's this opinion that frustrates me sometimes.

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

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

Nothing ungrateful about it

Saying their service isn't distinctive is very ungrateful.

How does a thumbs down say their service isn't distinctive?

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

The whole status of the military in America. I'm not saying I agree.

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

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.
