I just so happened to come across this nugget today thanks to the "550 Cord and 100 MPH Tape" Facebook page. To be honest it is about right. Some just want to be offended just so they can wear it as a medal to be applauded by the masses.
On all social media you can't say something without some getting "butt hurt." If you say something as radical as #AllLifesMatter you will get corrected. God forbid that you say this MOS is better than this MOS. You will say how some guy did this one thing and now he is has mastered every individual and collective task now of the person that should have been doing that job. In addition to all of this he is also now a master tactician on par with any Company Commander from that MOS Captain's Career Course. If you just say that you are not the same then you better have a hand full of medals to hand out.
Maybe we should just sit back and enjoy a laugh not not be so rush to judgement. Sure I may be guilty of it. But here I am saying I am. I don't see that being to common now a days.
I am just curious how many down votes this will get. It is pretty much putting yourself in for the award.

CPT (Join to see) People better start getting tough around here. Here's my quite for those who get offended:
“I listen to all these complaints about rudeness and intemperateness, and the opinion that I come to is that there is no polite way of asking somebody: have you considered the possibility that your entire life has been devoted to a delusion? But that’s a good question to ask. Of course we should ask that question and of course it’s going to offend people. Tough.”
― Daniel C. Dennett
