the dude isn't that bright

Ah yes, the 'us' and 'them' mentality. Also the result of brainwashing. If someone cuts in line, say something. You don't immediately have to resort to violence like a little coward who can't communicate his feelings like a normal adult. (edited the bad word to coward)

From what I've seen, the US military don't treat their soldiers like gods while serving, and I *know* vets weren't treated like gods after retirement at least into the 1970s... so where does this entitlement and superiority come from? Anyone know?

The only service members who act like that were never service members, got kicked out of the service or served just long enough to get a honorable discharge and thinks they're entitled to the worship of everyone. I have family who served in Vietnam, my dad was an Army MP, his dad was Navy WWII just like my father in law. I have family from the Gulf War and currently serving stateside-fortunately. None of them brag about their service and some forget discounts they can get, like hotels! I worked with a couple younger guys who just got out of the military and were the biggest a-holes. I don't know their discharge status but they were very aggressive and didn't last long. I wish I had joined but what parents who had brothers in Vietnam would want their only daughter to join the military during George HW?😳

THANK YOU! My parents, once out of the military... became CIVILIANS WHO HAD SERVED. Get over your entitlement, US military vets. You aren't all that.. I know. I'm your family.

...people in wal-mart complaining about people in wal-mart...

So this whole military and vet thing...it is/was a choice. It is right to appreciate you, but you're not entitled to anything because of your personal choice. BTW, I'm reading more about how vets abhor the whole "thank you for your service " so wtf? I'm an RN and started hearing that during the pandemic/now. It's not a selfless act. I get paid well, there are benefits. I'm not entitled to anything. Thanks are always great but, I made my point.

Not all soldiers have been saving lives, and not all older people deserve respect

Not sure being a veteran really does much here. I'm not but I would still be pretty pissed if someone cut me in line like that. However, I would not assume it's because they are a civilian, I'd just assume they are an ass

So many things intentionally created to divide us. Or make us think we are somehow better than or more valuable than the next human being. People actually buy into it to. Thinking because your a CEO or military, cop, governor, or doctor. That you are somehow more valuable as a person. Or more deserving of something. It's called humanity and everyone from the homeless person right up to the CEO deserves respect, decency, dignity, love, kindness, healthcare, education, and to be treated well. . This whole world is so awful and I'm tired of people who can't see how heartless and awful they are.

When a 'veteran' talks down about 'civilians' (which most of them tend to) it's with all the condescension of a superior being to a molerat. Maybe what this supposed "Marine" needs is PTSD meds to stop his explosive level of intolerance.

PTSD. Some therapy is called for immediately, for their own sake.

Yes, that was rude of that person to cut in front of him, but just because he is a veteran, that doesnt make you any more special or important than anyone else.

Wow sounds like you are a real terd . You need medicated. I feel sorry for your wife. You are a very poor representative of our military (I hope)

When you're out of the military and develop a dependa attitude. Never saw it from a service member themself though.

I think the incredibly complicated way to handle this is to say, "Excuse me, I was next in line." Or you could go on a violent rant...

He went from a marine to a loser pretty fast.

They are either not a vet (stolen valor prick), or they were dishonorably discharged and still butthurt about it. I know plenty of vets, and not a single one would ever act this way. It is disgraceful.

I was also led to believe even the highest ranking military person is still lower in rank to any civilian. Saying that guy who pushed in font was a d**k.

As a retired military veteran, I would prefer you not identify yourself as a vet. There are too many good ones.

The clerk is at fault for not speaking up.

'Excuse me, I was standing here.' 'Excuse me, can't you wait for your turn?' 'Excuse me, the end of the line is over there!' No need to curse and make a drama.

But....it was his turn

That guy carried a gun? Yikes! Threatening to do something bad enough to go to jail because someone took his turn in line?

How about "people shouldn't cut in front of other people." Just saying...

I'm not impressed by the masculine toxicity and the inability to simply be assertive. I always cut veterans slack, but you're in the wrong here.

I would think that if you look as tough as you sound, no one would cut in front of you. Maybe you just don't look that tough. Which is why you overcompensate with verbiage.

Exactly. Let me guess, his wife expects a military discount everywhere, too.

Rudeness isn't necessary in any situation.

Semper F***ing Fi...

In my opinion it has nothing to do with your military status....has to do with bad manners on the part of the person that stepped ahead in line.

I can tell this is fake just based on the premise of Walmart employees helping a customer in the electronics section.

Line cutters always in the army chow line. When I was promoted to buck sergeant I told these "men" they could cut in line anywhere as long as it was behind me.

Gee I wonder why you are no longer in active service, you have such a wonderful attitude towards your fellow human

Even if he was still military: doesn't give him the right to despise civilians....

Jumping the queue is considered sacrilegious in Britain at least, i would have murdered anyone that does that, but you don’t hold more rights because you were military, if anything, the whole post paints you as a f****n douchebag, and quite the hot-blooded messy embarrassment to even call yourself a marine 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

saying something loud and coursing is also a definition of doing something stupid.
