    Finally, we can end "thank you for your service " and get back to calling them baby killers. Ah yes, the time before 9-11.

      Bullshit. You need to go farther back than that.

      Baby killers are what fucktards called the barely-not-children who were drafted against their will to fight and die in Vietnam.

      People really appreciated the troops who fought in the first Gulf Wars and helped our ally Kuwait after they were invaded. In 1990.

        I mean that’s where it originated, for sure, it just stopped being used after 9-11.
