Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.

Wannabe.

Nothing more.

This screams boot to me, lol. I bet you they financed it at something ridiculous too.

Is there an r/JustBootThings on Lemmy or Kbin? Some of the shit on there was hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah that shit was pretty much the epitome of r/JustBootThings

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

We were all boots once. Some of us grew out of it.

Boot is a derisive term, in this case it's referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy and/or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement ("thank me for my service!").

Not sure who downvoted you, nothing wrong with asking questions to learn stuff.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Something typical of a person fresh out of boot camp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Fresh outa boot camp.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nothing worse than a moto ass boot.

100% he's a POG too

No, it's that thing that was popular in the 90s:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pogue. The word is Pogue. As in Pogie Bait.

POG is a backronym and must be obliterated with prejudice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

wanna bet he's a 92f or some shit?

maybe a 74a who's huffed too much ojt

[–] merc 6 points 11 months ago

No true Scotsman...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

And the Ares is quotes, blegh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Most actual soldiers would say Marine, etc. rarely use soldier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Unless they are in the Army. Then they would rightfully call themselves a soldier. Soldier, Airman, Marine, Seaman, Guardian and Spacie. I guess not sure on the last one

[–] merc 5 points 11 months ago

Guardian... haha... Finally the semen have someone they can laugh at.

Eh, a lot of us did stupid stuff like put a CIB sticker on or something. This is a whole 'nother level.
