I skipped the steps of the application process that would have clued the agency in on my lack of fitness for the position. I made no effort to hide my public loathing of the agency, what it stands for, and the administration that runs it. And they offered me the job anyway.

    2x Combat vet here. Yeah, you’re not wrong. I have grown to despise many of the guys I’ve deployed with. I see their posts on FB and am to the point I really want to call them out and publicly shame them. I feel like I’m a unicorn, I’ve gotten more and more leftie as I get older and have shunned my military past. Just my two cents. Fuck trump and fuck ICE.

      I’ve noticed it seems to polarize people. A lot of the best (and worst) people I deal with are ex-military or convicts. Wake or break type deal, they seem to come out hardened and inspired to resist or broken enough to fit the mold perfectly. Sorry about your service.
