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

Incredible, CPT (Join to see), and I haven't even submitted a DA Form IMT WF1 in triplicate yet! Having you as the issuing authority and the expediency with which you operate has already eliminated some of the needless hurt that has been caused! CMSgt (Join to see)

Of course I get it, CPT (Join to see)! Protocol has already been established for award of this medal. As the adjutant calls "attention to orders", the recipient must perform an about face to the formation and lean forward slightly to bring attention to the wounded area and accentuate the reason for giving the award. I thought everyone already knew that! CMSgt (Join to see)

Do they have a medal for pissing people off at a rate that cannot be defined? At my current pace, I will have pissed off most of California and New York by the end of the month! Oh wait, its 31 May? Mission Accomplished!

From my experience, the people who get "offended" by opinions on the internet are ironically the ones who are the most offensive towards others, sometimes by trying to guilt trip others to make themselves feel better.

We gave him the MVP trophy..
ya’ll shoulda seen some p.o.’d parents ! His own fellow players
made that decision .. not the coach..

SSgt Boyd Herrst - The beauty of the internet is that you can get a bunch of perspectives from all over the world in one place. The horror of the internet is that you can get a bunch of perspectives from all over the world in one place.
There's always "that one guy" at any gathering and they're all online waiting to derail their baggage train at the first station.

I put this in the same category as the "stress card" I've heard (perhaps falsely) can be used at Basic Training. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you are that sensitive, perhaps you should just go back to bed. There is no way of preventing being offended, so grow a pair... (hmmmm I must need more coffee).

Much like the Chaplain’s C.T.S. Card
Not a card anybody wants.. third punch, one is a goner... inability to adapt..
