boomers are selfish and evil. i hail from a rustbelt town. all the jobs left before i was born. i only joined the army because my parents kicked me out at 18. i was too white to go to college. no financial aid. didn't matter how poor or intelligent i was. i got a 98 on the asvab. when i joined the army the same affirmative action policies that discriminated against me from getting a scholarship also prevented me from advancing my career. i was denied promotion because the army didn't want anymore white men in leadership positions. and you know what? so many other white guys had the exact same experiences, stories and background as me. didn't matter what part of the country we came from. we were all fucked over. i still keep in contact with some of them and the anger never truly goes away. most of us want one thing and one thing only. revenge!
