why do cons despise government workers, but “support” the military?

[harmonica]

How are government workers and military personnel the same?

They are both paid by the Feds and they both decided to take the job . Ain’t no one drafted .

You’re an idiot incapable of understanding simple things. I’m gonna guess it’s why you support democrats.

Hey I get it . You conservatives can’t logically distinguish between the two. It upsets you so you lash out with insults .

from our military expert Timmy

Ohhhh . I can’t talk about the vaunted military ! Who am I to talk of such a godlike organization!! Here , take all my tax money without question .

Meanwhile , we can all talk about government employees like we are experts on them.

that's right--you have NO idea what it's like to be in the military
at the very least, you have much less knowledge than someone who has
....let me.say it again: the military is expected and do put their lives in jeopardy a LOT more than civilians --just a small, minor difference
hahahahahhaah
game over

I’m sticking to the op. I see that they are the same and deserve the same respect .

If the military was involved in this shutdown it’d Be over in a day.

Well, it so happens that Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti, (Carter's) argued that the Anti-Deficiency Act actually required government agencies to close down if their funding expired. Like I said before, Democrats were needed to pass the budget and they failed to do that.

 

[Timmy]

they are the same thing. We haven’t had a draft in 40 + years . We don’t have volunteers, we have a professional military . They are just as much fed employees as some border patrol worker .

Why do cons have this double standard with fed workers ?

And for that matter , why is the military being paid during the shutdown?

The Military is vital part of the security for US. The majority of the bloated bureaucracy are oxygen thieves

Really ? So a bunch of military personnel in Germany is more important to out security than the border patrol ?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

So how are they different?

I don't use the VA hospitals. My expectations of injury or death would be different. You don't sign up for years at a time. You go home at night.

Military people do not use VA hospitals either, till they are out. Just saying

We don't unless we have to. I have scars from Military Docs and Civilian Docs. My military scars look like Frankenstein cuts. But hey, I lived I won't complain.

True, I choose not to use the local VA clinic either, but the point of my post was that active duty military do not use VA hospitals.

The VA Hospital in San Francisco is top notch.

About the San Francisco VA Health Care System - San Francisco VA Health Care System

That is the thing about the VA, it is as Forrest said...like a box of chocolates. Each its it own individual entity...some are great some are terrible. From what I understand the local one is not bad at all, but it is still a hassle I do not yet need to deal with as I have great insurance.

But see, I have an actual history of criticizing democrats and leftwing policy. I’m not going to pretend that Dems are as despicable as republicans, but I certainly acknowledge when I think they are way off base.

Can you post a link to a post where you criticized Democrats?

CONGRATULATIONS to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Hell I got a lot more than that.

Your only criticism is that she isn't pushing the leftwing agenda effectively.

Lol am I supposed to pretend that I am not a progressive? See unlike you, I don’t just float with whatever party is closest to my values because they tell me to.

We all know that you vote Democrat.

Yeah because it’s the only way to keep out republicans lol. Voting for an independent isn’t a vote against the GOP. And yeah, sometimes I like the democrat up for election. I voted for Bernie because I liked him. I voted for Hillary because it was the only vote against Trump. Voting for anyone else wouldn’t have done that because they were not actual rivals to Trump’s election.

I guess you could distinguish by active duty war zone if you want. Do you want?

Kind of a silly thing since those in an active war zone are always changing. When someone comes home from an active war zone are they now no longer worthy of praise?

Which they signed up to do . Just like any other gov employee.

I am guessing those returning from an active zone would not say, damn, I am not going to get paid for a few weeks, I 'd better stay here.

You might be surprised. We had people requesting to get off of recruiting duty to go to Iraq during the worst of the fighting.

 

[Timmy]

They both have the same employer, the US Fed Govt. They are both paid by the same people, the US tax payers.

And you and Timmy think that makes them the exact same thing?

LOL

Yes . In fact , many people in the military have the exact same job as those in regular government.

I was not in the military, but no one signs up to get killed inaction. most try to avoid that as long as possible. I didn't sign up to let someone go postal on me either.

If my best friends were in danger, I 'd strongly consider returning. Can't really say, because I didn't walk in their shoes.

how could you not think of that?? DUH that's the military's JOB = to KILL/destroy
the post office delivers mail
the USDA deals with farming
the USDOTransportation deals with highways/etc
the military KILLS--with tanks/guns/rifles/air/bombs/etc
HUGE difference

This Thread has proven that the bigger question that needs answering is why do snowflakes continue to create threads asking, "Why do Conservatives..." followed by lies / false narratives to create some fake butt-hurt manufactured non-issue they can then attempt to use to attack / bash those who do not subscribe to their particular socialist, Pro-Democrat, Trump-Hating / Hate-driven ideology / agenda ... like this thread does?

Attempting to claim that anyone 'hates' government / federal workers simply because they do not consider military personnel 'non-essential' personnel effected by the Democrats' shutdown is one of those - a childish, immature, partisan false narrative created with the sole attempt to demonize others.

The fact that one has to CREATE a false narrative with which to debate instead of actually engaging in discussion about what is really going on is an example of someone having to create a false narrative in which he declares he is on the right side immediately and others are wrong. It is obvious the person does so because they can not effectively argue / defend their beliefs, stance, agenda in regards to what is REALLY happening.

So all those government law enforcement jobs aren’t dangerous ? Everyone in the military is front line infrantry ?

You tell me . What’s the difference between a JAG attorney and an Attorney with the DOJ?
