Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.
Wannabe.
Nothing more.
- This screams boot to me, lol. I bet you the financed it at something ridiculous too.
  Is there an r/JustBootThings on Lemmy or Kbin? Some of the shit on there was hilarious.
  
  I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.
  
  Yeah that shit was pretty much the epitome of r/JustBootThings
  
  We were all boots once. Some of us grew out of it.
  
  Boot?
  
  Boot is a derisive term, in this case it's referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy and/or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement ("thank me for my service!").
  Not sure who downvoted you, nothing wrong with asking questions to learn stuff.
  
  Something typical of a person fresh out of boot camp.
  
  Fresh outa boot camp.
  
  Nothing worse than a moto ass boot.
  100% he's a POG too
  
  Pineapple orange guava?
  
  No, it's that thing that was popular in the 90s:
  
  Pogue. The word is Pogue. As in Pogie Bait.
  POG is a backronym and must be obliterated with prejudice.
- No true Scotsman...
- wanna bet he's a 92f or some shit?
  maybe a 74a who's huffed too much ojt
- And the Ares is quotes, blegh.
- Exactly. Most actual soldiers would say Marine, etc. rarely use soldier.
  
  Unless they are in the Army. Then they would rightfully call themselves a soldier. Soldier, Airman, Marine, Seaman, Guardian and Spacie. I guess not sure on the last one
  
  Guardian... haha... Finally the semen have someone they can laugh at.
- Eh, a lot of us did stupid stuff like put a CIB sticker on or something. This is a whole 'nother level.
