How would you convince a stranger at a bar that you've "seen shit"

Just as a follow up, it is illegal, at least in the US

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Valor_Act_of_2005

Yeah? But what if I'm like a rough-and-tumbled super warrior?

I want to walk into a bar and know that I'm just better than other people

I know a few vets and combat make them worse, not better. Physically and mentally, if they've "seen shit" it's more likely that they will fucked up

you probably wouldn't be at a bar. Its mostly the younger less experienced guys that hang out in public areas drinking. Most of the older "been in for a long time and seen some wrong shit" drink outside of public view.

a lot of the most infamous "super soldiers" and MOH recipients often give up drinking all together

it depends on their personality. Most of the wounded vets and the like ive worked with just consider it another day unless they've been exposed to too much television and videogames where the "i'm a monster" thought gets beat into their heads. Really most just consider heavy combat a bad day at work and the only major negative ive seen is a resulting lowered emotional response to physical stimuli.

Faggot

most servicemen who have been in for a while don't care about the stolen valor act. Ive even drank with an obvious LARPer at an international airport. Theres usually a mental problem behind it so why not just let them pretend.

Maybe it's just me, then. From what I've seen, the heavy combat vets are pretty messed up. One infantry guy I know literally can't go into crowds anymore. And a SEAL I knew had major surgery on every large joint in his body (elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles)

If you've actually seen shit.. maybe be a fucking man and act stoic.

That link literally says it is NOT illegal you dumbass

when both of you encounter a stressfull situation
you will likely to react differently
(higher stress treshold,desensitized to horrible things)
it would be enough to give you away

>Fucking boot no one gives a fuck.

Watch it, m8. I'm a master of gorilla warfare...

>One infantry guy I know literally can't go into crowds anymore

this is common especially if theyve been exposed to person borne IED's. Its considered strange until you look at an equivalent psychological response to something like a car accident. You'll drive a bit more carefully and try to avoid the circumstances that got you in the accident the first time.

They can eventually return to normalcy with help from friends and family. You just have to consider their personality. were they always like this? do they have a reason to walk among crowds? how long does it take them to change a mental tic?

>And a SEAL I knew had major surgery on every large joint in his body (elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles)

ive had surgery on my back and shoulders. Thats so ridiculously common for soldiers and marines that its just sad. Youre constantly walking long distances carrying 60,70,80 pounds jumping off things climbing down them its just natural

I don't have to convince him. I have the "thousand yard stare".

getyarn.io/yarn-clip/c4ce33a3-433c-4c75-872d-f4353caca91a

I guess you're making my point for me then. People often glamorize combat, but it's effects are anything but "cool"

Suck his cock and tell him with a mouth full of his dick how tasty he is.

spend all your time sitting at the bar alone doing the 1000yd stare. don't speak unless spoken to. people will wonder what's wrong with you and if they ask, say "I've seen some shit" and leave it at that

Even though this is cringe it's unironically the best course of action

>walking long distances carrying 60,70,80 pounds
I've never been in the military but I've done a LOT of this on the Appalachian trail

yeah but its effects arent abnormal. The history of mankind is full of violence and physical conflict.

People consider it weird that a guy who's killed someone doesn't really feel one way or another about it so they try to build a case that they are mentally deficit.

its odd to admit but killing someone is normal. Getting hurt and losing an arm or a leg is normal.

your right it isn't "cool" but its not really a major life changing event. The sun comes up and you move on or you dwell on it until it burns a hole in your head

ok

>Theres usually a mental problem behind it so why not just let them pretend.

They do it for attention and free stuff / discounts.

Probably not wearing pos boots and probably at your own pace

>How would you convince a stranger at a bar that you've "seen shit"
If you need to convince a stranger at a bar, that you've "seen shit", you haven't "seen shit". Perhaps you should stop LARPing, before you run into the real thing. Friendly advice.

whats wrong with them getting attention? also nobody really gives free stuff. In about 16 years in ive only ever gotten a set of battery terminals for free from a dealership that charged me 180 bucks to update my trucks ECM.

i'm meh on discounts too. Alot of these larpers are poor dumb mentally retarded kids so if they can save a little bit of money why not.

lastly these employees offering discounts and the like aren't stupid. They 9 times out of 10 know that the person wasn't in the military they just don't want them to cause a scene.

nigga if you ain't buying your own ICB's and insoles your doing it to yourself

Look them dead in the eye and say "I kill niggers"

look them dead in the eye and say "cho đến người cuối cùng"

Cu tu no ma kladaka, Solo!
HO HO HO HO!!

>mfw nobody really gives a shit

Odd. I'd rather not talk about what I've experienced, but one of my arms and hands along with scars on my face gives it away. It's not super noticable at first, but if I'm wearing a T-shirt most folks first see the mess on my forearm then notice my hand. That's why even in warm weather I still tend to wear long sleeves.

My facial scars are mostly at my hat line, so a cap or hat usually takes care of that.

Huh. I'd rather most folks didn't know because they ALWAYS want to know. To them it's spectator sport, for me it's a unpleasant memory I don't want to recount every day.

This is why we get mad at you stolen "valor" dorks. Guys like you make the uninformed population think it's ok to pick at those wounds.

But I've come to the conclusion it's our fault as well. If we showed you civilians what is really happening out there in you name with your money, maybe you'd be scared enough to make an effort to stop it. Probably not. You'd probably just amusedly go over it like a rekt thread.

did you attempt to consume the F O R B I D D E N T U N A?

gimme your limdu chit faggot

This nigga fell out of a HMMWV into the C wire while scrambling open a box milk from the DFAC that he was told not to fucking bring

my buddy used to boo and throw his leg at me when i was giving a EOR presentation. I'm glad he wasn't a feel bad like you

Poop on the bar
Look at it
>iveseensomeshit

OP just parrot what this guy said. He's giving you ammo

Didn't try, went at it whole hog and I'm not EOD. It was disguised as tuna, but was nigger rigged into a big box mine.

I managed to get the booster it had and the upper part of the firing chain when everything went black. It was a bad situation. Let's just say I know how that guy who was forced to rob banks with a bomb on his neck must of felt.

I remember looking at my mangled hand and wondering how I could convince any prospective pussy how my stump is a good thing.. Then in a panic I quickly verified my junk wasn't blown off or mangled. I was checking out if that was the case.

Tell them something serious with a cold stare and piss on their boots finishing up with a polite nod

they live in a domesticated safety bubble
it's pretty far from normal to them

>wondering how I could convince any prospective pussy how my stump is a good thing.

just do what my buddy with the gimp leg does. He'll siddle up to a girl in shorts and show his fake leg and say "wanna make me feel whole?"

>they live in a domesticated safety bubble

good i like this fact and its what i signed up to hear.

Well, I'm not amused with it some days. Today is just one of those.

Probably has a lot to do with me not allowed any scotch because of an antibiotic I'm on.

Most amusing thing about this fucked up hand is that whacking off with it is more fun. The numb spots make it feel like someone else is doing it.

why were you fucking with it in the first place? seriously one of my kids did the same thing but luckily it didn't get its call and failed. It bothers the hell out of me that he would just walk up to a can of rip-it and try to grab it

dude you need to get out and do something. being a barracks rat isn't doing your gimp hand any good. how much usability is left in it? at least you still have parts of it. i've seen cats who last that shit up to the shoulder and weren't eligible for anything but that shitty tan and white medical plastic thing.

Bars are for faggots

Don’t bother, it’s a waste of time

It was discovered in the only cover we had. I figured out the play, I either shut it down or we were all marinara. It got the call just as I got it mostly apart.

Mostly.

buck up nigga. If its any consolation there are a bunch of dumbasses alive because of you.

at least you didn't get your shit blown off from trying to hammer a pin into the ma deuce with a .50 call round.

Nah. I'm good there. I'm an old SOB, pre 2000 when I was medically discharged, 80% disability. Could go up but I'm not willing to waste that much of my time and put up with that much aggravation.

You youngsters are getting beyond fucked from what I've seen.

This

>You youngsters

lel i went in in 2003 and got out a few months ago because i got tired of raising other peoples kids and the wars are pretty much only for the SOF guys.

you should have seen some of the PC bullshit that was being forced on the SNCO's and O it was insane getting told that theres a rape epidemic and were all full of toxic masculinity.

I'd take a never ending deployment to the sandbox over the retardation in now

Yep. Pretty much what I had.
Except it was the top three fingers most involved not the bottom like the pic.

>Perhaps you should stop LARPing

Fucking fuck that. I knew shit had gone sideways when I talked with the youngins.. First thing I noticed was how few of you are found at the V.A... I go to one near a massive Army base, and I'm usually one of the youngest guys in there still.

So I figured out they weren't taking any care of you guys. Trust me, you ain't missing much though. I only go when it's specific to my injuries for when I finally do want to move that 80% up.

I think a massive downsize is about to hit, even bigger than what I saw in the early 90's (did I mention I'm old?) when we wound down from the cold war.

Think that's only if you're doing it for shit like discounts and all those cool things soldiers are promised but don't actually get lol

>First thing I noticed was how few of you are found at the V.A

theres no point in going to the VA. Everything is a bureaucratic nightmare. Right now i'm single handedly fighting the DPS non temp storage guys to get back my personal effects and vehicle because they were missing my COT orders because i was stuck in afgh for almost a year and a half and the VA told me they can't help me with anything.

Then when i do go the VA you get mean mugged by all the old vietnam vets who think your stealing their bene's. At this poin't ive stripped any sort of indication i was a muhreen off of my person

the down size already happened. the marines are the smallest theyve been since WWI. They want as many potential retirees out as possible because they can't afford to pay pensions for the 200+ general officers we have now

Why would you want to?

Life’s not a movie and you’ll come off an a try hard loser.

You don't, if you've actually seen shit they'll know. Stop being a faggot.
t. Bartender who's seen shit.

Alright, here's what's up:

Go down to your local VFW, the old timers there ain't as bullshit as the assholes living in the V.A... They'll show you how to work the system. They'll also get your shit squared away. They often still have connections that can get shit done and know how to light fired under the right people's asses.

Give it a go, what have you got to lose except the cost of a beer? Just show up and ask around.

Wish I hadn't seen the shit I've seen. Why would I want to share that? Some people just aren't built for that shit.

Fucking pathetic holy shit

Tellem you’ve played the new call of duty

meh i'll give it a shot. Honestly i just want to move on and get back into living like a human being but the systems are bogged the fuck down so its either by yourself or throw more weight onto the backs of a group of people struggling to make shit work with the resources they got

I gotcha, but dude, you should at least get your vehicle and effects.. Those coots can usually help you get it done.

Throw him to the floor and rape his asshole while screaming loudly in Arabic.

>How would you convince a stranger at a bar that you've "seen shit"
why would I want to?

for them delicious benefits

this guy has seen shit.

that it.

you dont have to say shit. you just sit there and dont brag. thats how you know youve seen shit

Thats not true lots of them drink or go to other self medication or another form of self destruction. Most of the hard guys drink at their home you are right there. The only exception is when you have a guy who was never phased but that is more so a psycho than a warrior with wounds

>The only exception is when you have a guy who was never phased but that is more so a psycho than a warrior with wounds

0/10 nice try CNN

How can you “know” that you’re better than then when you actually know that you’re lying about the whole thing?

he wants them to think he's a veteran not a visitor from london

this guy killed himself i believe.

nah

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Blake_Miller

How much crazier can you look? A spontaneous raping is a very clear demonstration of crazy.

Asked my friend's coworker about his time overseas.
Talked about all the shit he's seen.
That's what you wanted right op?

His crew had to clean out the toilets everyday, ie burn some shit trays with diesel.
Nobody else overhearing him talk about burning shit in 120f deserts was at all happy.
>seen some shit.

Show him my Instagram feed from the shitholes.

Tell him 'the only woodstoack i ever had was the back of my rifle in nam.

yeah but you want military crazy not migrant given too much power crazy

this is what you do user

Go to amazon and buy the following

>T-shirt from 7.62 designs its like tapout but more cringe
>tactical pants either old army pattern or 5.11 jeans
>a black aluminum wristlet just put a name on it a date and the term KIA
>"tactical boots" as long as they are black have a zipper and state "tacitcal, police, military LEO"
>a pair of dog tags (real tags have 2)
>a hat you wear backwards
>lastly a "tactical" belt just the first thing that pops up

now when your in a bar just add an acronym every few words like this

So i'm at the DCMA going to the RPSI and this guy is like dude you EFV the NPRK3 so he laughed and i threw the M2039 at him.

if they question who you are just say you were a 3rd lieutenant in the Army Royal Corps of Marines

I've seen some shit. And I give no shit to almost everything. One of the things I don't want to do is talking to strangers, even more so talkin' about how I've seen some shit. Shit. I don't even use alcohol, it just makes me feel worse. I'm just trying to keep everything simple and as quiet as possible.

People who've seen some shit wouldn't want to talke to you about it

This is a sheltered thing to say

you did not seen shit kid ..... otherwise you will not want to talk about it

10th prestige post

You can't.

This.

You're not.

Shoot yourself in the head if you survive you have seen some shit

get someone to shit in your eye and you can say youve literally seen some shit.

honestly though OP if you want to experience the stress of combat as a civilian got to a dem controlled city and just walk around. 50% of it is just expecting someone to shoot at you while avoiding feces and being dehydrated

would you?
