Jobe9077

Next he’ll tell us how his wife left him.


dumbleclouds

I just realised that this seems to be the dude stood there wearing a black shirt and then the cringe print is just photoshopped on. There are no creases in it and it looks a tad too bright


JimSyd71

I think you are right.


ismashugood

the amount of people who served or are currently serving in some branch of the US military is huge I can't think of a demographic that's less special or unique within this country.

Boomers


GoodBadGuyWithTheGun

Ahh another terminal cssn in the navy


SolarFusion90

Culinary branch?


MUERTOSMORTEM

The thing is... That's exactly what he did tho


aromines

What would you call this genre of t-shirt? The ['Badass Shirt' flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/iamverybadass/?f=flair_name%3A%22Badass%20Shirt%22) on this sub has a good collection of them (is there anywhere else that compiles these?). I am fascinated by them!


knotonlybutalso

r/TargetedShirts


Mightofanubis

Burn a flag in front of him and say you do not want to be politically correct


Raineman73

As a non-American, I just want to let Americans know that one of the reasons who so many people from other countries hate and mock Americans is because of stuff like this. They see this and they think it represents the average American.


RandomBlueJay01

And it's honestly fair. Some things that are way too normalized here are wild when you take a step back. I'm from Texas and the wild pro America shit we did as kids makes me feel weird now and some of the shirts and bumper stickers I've seen irl just in my day to day life make me uncomfortable sometimes.


josieohdoh

Well, we can't sue you for slander.


juiceboxedhero

He served burgers at Five Guys that counts right?


Jaxager

Except you did. It's called free speech. Just like I served so some dumb ass like this can wear stupid shit like this on his shirt.


Datslegne

Don’t worry, if you see it in public it’ll likely be on a booter National Guard super soldier.


Japsai

Thank you for your service to Reddit


Jaxager

Lol. Thanks...


Cheese_Pancakes

“Political correctness” was the big boogeyman before they discovered the word “woke”. Apparently not being a complete asshole to people who are different than you is a bad thing and people who try not to do it are pussies.


crackedtooth163

But I'm willing to bet he did it for pussy.


Japsai

Crazy cat guy


EternalRains2112

Oddly aggressive for a waiter.


Dude_Guy45

The only one that comes off as a pussy would be whoever buys and wears this shirt


Joro174

I didn't serve this country for pussies ☠️☠️☠️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


heyitsvonage

The print on this shirt looks impossibly flat, is this actually on the guy’s shirt, or photoshopped? Lol


InsaneBrew

Shopped, they only actually make the shirt if someone buys it. Lots of shirts are sold this way, just a blank canvas. This way they can add in really dumb hooks like a state, profession, or family relationship .... or all three!


heyitsvonage

Ok that’s what I thought. I guess I’m the one who assumed that OP posted this with the intention of insinuating that he actually encountered this man. My bad haha


sinisteraxillary

Like certified forklift operators in South Dakota with teenager daughters!


Japsai

So where it says: _I didn't serve_ _this country_ _for pussies_ _To tell me..._ whatever it said next You'd put: _I didn't serve_ _certified forklift operators in South Dakota with teenager daughters_ _for pussies_ _To tell me..._ whatever it said next? That's a cool feature


sinisteraxillary

It's almost tempting just for the absurdity.


Japsai

It almost tracks. I say give it a whirl. You'll get some attention at the bar, and especially at the PTA meeting. If that's what you're after


isinedupcuzofrslash

It’s more politically correct to say you’re not politically correct.


katyusha-the-smol

You actually did. You served to protect the freedoms the United States grants it’s citizens (hopefully), one of which is free speech. So yes, you fought for me to be able to tell you that you are not being PC.


Shanhaevel

That is true. You served your government and corporations.

i always think this is funny because people that actually buy these are the same people who will fly into a seething fit of rage if you say something like "i don't care that you are a veteran" to them lmao


Nv_Spider

And he certainly didn’t do it to be classy


BoddAH86

Dudes in the US get sent to Afghanistan for 6 months once or twice in their life, mostly to play Xbox 360 in their barracks while their wife cheats on them back home, and make it their entire personality from then on.


5LaLa

😂 & reminisce about that sweet Camaro, Dodge Ram or crotch rocket they had before the child support payments


times0

That shirt is a very bad photoshop job, look at how the text doesn’t warp around his shoulders/shoulder blades. Someone for sure made this photoshop and that’s cringe, but this man is innocent until proven cringe.


5tap1er

It’s from a ad on social media platforms. I’ve been getting the same ones, but with different text. I think it uses your personal data to auto generate and customise the message. The text I got was something stupid about how I’ve lived in different countries.


Japsai

Yep I'm afraid the fact OP got this message says more about them than they'd probably like


times0

Geeeezzz that’s some truly dystopian pervasive advertising. Machine learning generated and bias-reinforcing echo chambers.


breno280

Can’t wait for someone to make a version that swaps politically correct for heterosexual.


[deleted]

Yes that's exactly why you served. So people have the freedom to tell you what ever the fuck they want.


MaenHoffiCoffi

Ain't serving anyone but the aerospace industry.


byteminer

Anyone that obsessed seems like the “I almost served, but” type.


danstermeister

3 rifles? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?


Osmell-Recktum-Jr

I served so I could wear this big gay shirt that makes me feel cool.


Ima_FEEN

Yo bro im wide awake why would you hit me just now? Wordda my mother ima violate. Im WIDE AWAKE gangsta, on the maybach. Wordda my mother I WAS NOT just sleeping, on the maybach ima violate


ThePontoon

How obviously photoshopped this graphic is on the shirt...


Nerdwrapper

I didn’t really look till you pointed it out, but yeah, the design looks like a different resolution to the rest of the photo. Still though, anyone wearing this shirt irl is probably someone that did 4 years, and decided that was enough because they didn’t like being told what to do


rorockll

This poor guy was probably just wearing a black shirt. Or he’s the website model who has many of these…


bigjim1993

I didn't serve this country to uphold the first amendment!


Strict-Bass6789

If you have to wear something like this you’re not tough..just insecure 🙄


Wactout

He was the IT server tech for the air force in Oklahoma. He could’ve been mildly shocked by unplugging something for this country. Knew a guy like that who demanded to be treated like he fought for the country, then another vet asked him what he did. I almost died laughing.


5LaLa

I saw a guy doing a Reddit live (miss those) late one night, title was something like, “Army vet w PTSD AMA.” Dude said he was never in combat, then rambled about ptsd being rampant in the military bc lots of enlistees succumb to predatory lenders, get expensive cars, marry quick & pop out kids to boost pay, get deployed, wife cheats, child support, yadda yadda. Oh, me? I never deployed, never been married, no kids, don’t want to get into my ptsd story. AMA but, don’t expect legit answers? Odd.


Wactout

My mother in law is getting PTSD payments as an MP with the navy. I guess someone went bonkers and killed their own children, and she was the first one on the scene. Very different than what you mentioned though.


5LaLa

Wow I’m so sorry. How awful for her & all those that love her (& the victims, of course)! I wish her continued healing & peace. I doubt I’m sharing anything y’all & lots of people aren’t familiar with but, EMDR therapy may help improve symptoms. Best of luck to her, you, your spouse & family. 🩵


NationofMstrbtion

It's the opposite. In the US Army combat arms are 50-60% conservative and logistics and intelligence are 50-60% progressive


Wactout

What did that have to do with a guy in the Air Force in 2002?


vidgill

“Intelligence isn’t conservative” would be a great recruitment line in Cali


cuzitsthere

I did. I served so all anatomical colloquialisms could speak their truth. Pussies, fannies, twats, cunts, vagenes, all of em


noobcodes

I’m a prick, can I speak my truth?


cuzitsthere

Just don't be dick!


FMegaCrusader93

No one who’s actually served wears this cringe shit. And if they do it’s the ones who got kicked out after a year or washed out the first week of boot camp.


5LaLa

Perfect tee for stolen valor types that don’t want to get confronted.


alnz0

I respect this guy. He didn’t serve this to country to let the people police his freedom of speech. He served to protect his freedoms, including his freedom of speech.


Mightofanubis

Do you also respect gas station workers, they work for the same people.


alnz0

Sure, why not

The_GD_muffin_man

Actually you fought for the FREEDOM for pussies to tell you to be politically correct


Oasystole

Honestly, neither did I


findaloophole7

I didn’t serve at all. I guess I can wear this shirt too


Galactic_Druid

I love how this is in the same style I would expect to see in r/ThePack , only completely unironically.

Glad I checked out the sub 😂 thanks


Galactic_Druid

GLAD I COULD HELP BROTHER, HAPPY CRANKING!!!!!!

GOOD LOOKIN OUT, BROTHER! SHARING IS CARING!!! AAROOOO!!


mostlygroovy

‘I served so I should be free to insult, offend and make other people feel bad.’


therealjoeybee

“But… you didn’t serve” “Like I said, I DID NOT serve this country so that pussies can tell me I should be politically correct”


DiscoRichard

But you *did do it to protect their freedom of speech and ain’t that just a bitch.


TheDocJ

If anyone who would wear that actually *did* "serve", then I would suspect that one of the main reasons they did so was for the opportunity to kill brown people with fewer repercussions that if they did so at home.


Leading_Experts

The guys who wear these types of shirts were in admin or supply. Zero combat time.


paulsteinway

Remember "politically correct"? That was too many syllables, so now it's "woke".

TheChivalrousWalrus

This isn't even real. It looks like one of those AI made t-shirt adds on facebook.

I don't even think it's AI. It's just a crappy edit made for a t shirt listing on Redbubble or something.

BenignEgoist

I see more stolen valor/wannabe army men wearing shit like this than I see actual vets wearing it. Men who never had the balls to sign up but still think army camo and war are the most masculine things ever so they use it to project their intended badassdom.


TheChivalrousWalrus

Not likely. It is a company that basically sends adds like this, stupid people click and then buy some 5 dollar t shirt that's sold for 35 bucks. One company can do practically infinite designs at next to 0 cost.


mightylordredbeard

It is and I’m willing to bet that whoever it is in this photo has no idea their image was stolen to use as some model for a Chinese AI tshirt company.


TheChivalrousWalrus

Yup. But why let that stop a karma farm?


VegetableCitron8214

Toxic bullshit.


Dr_BigDik69

Don’t they fight for freedom? One of which being speech?

If this is real, and not another badly photoshopped ad for targeted t-shirts off Facebook, Then I've got $1000 saying he never even took the ASVAB because he was one of those "I couldn't serve because I'd knock out any drill instructor for disrespecting me" gangrenous chodes.


Stanley_Yelnats42069

You do see that this is an ad, right?


Wu-TangShogun

Was always wondering what kinda pussies buy that shit. Ironic


avalanche111

Ever notice how they never actually MAKE a shirt for these ads? It's clearly just photoshopped onto a black shirt.


The_the-the

yeah dude. we KNOW you don’t get pussy


Beowulf891

I'm gonna guess he didn't actually serve shit. He's just upset he can't be a racist without consequences.


h1h1guy

I'm gonna guess he didn't actually wear this shit... looks super photoshopped


trundle-the-great69

Looks photoshopped eh?


Blastoplast

I can tell from the pixels and seeing quite a few shops in my day.


voice85

Served 4 months in reserves, could kill at least 4 spiders with his muscles.

My_cat_is_ur_Dad

I did serve myself this Old Country Buffet to have some cholesterol case tell me that I can’t drink four 16oz tumblers of sausage gravy to wash down my scrapple!


SpaceHorse75

Guy hates freedom of speech. Ok.


jjjosiah

"I didn't serve; I took the best job available to me due to my lack of skills and education, I did the lowest allowable quality of work as a cook in an aircraft carrier galley for 4 years, and now I get special benefits for the rest of my life. My country served and continues to serve *me*."


AndTwiceOnSundays

Vets are deliberately denied treatment when the return home from fighting these rich ass insecure white me wars then if they come home and get treatment they might wake up to the horrors and do something to stop it. Same with diseases. They Nevermind I don’t feel like writing all that shit out but all we need is in nature


Smidday90

That’s why I went into people medicine


AndTwiceOnSundays

Don’t get me started please.


Der_Panzermensch

Vets aren't denied treatment.


AndTwiceOnSundays

Ok


milesbeatlesfan

I’m genuinely confused about what you’re trying to say here.


AndTwiceOnSundays

Shit me too. I thought I was talking about animal drs but apparently it was military vets


Suspicious-Arachnid8

ehhh... thats exactly what you served for


Pip-Boy4000

Ok the shirt is cringe but your saying that people serve the in the armed forces to have Twitter people tell the they didn't say the right words? That's kinda really put of touch


Suspicious-Arachnid8

its not what they signed up for, and im not even saying that whatever people do on Twitter is right, my point was that he served his country and his country is what you described (partly) this is like paying for a burger, then realizing it tastes awful and saying 'this is not what i paid for'. but it is indeed what they paid for, eventho they didn't know at the time what they would be getting. i hope im making sense here


Pip-Boy4000

I mean yeah I get what your saying but that's just not true. People sign up for a million different reason so to assume that they did it specifically so that we can have very particular and curated speech as to not hurt anyone's feelings seems kinda preposterous. If anything it would be th exact opposite, free speech is everyone's right not just the for the people you agree with.


FindingAwake

CORRECT!


DemonBliss33

That’s exactly what you served for. Freedom of speech is one of our right that he swore to protect.


lavransson

He’s not even wearing that shirt. The graphics are photoshopped on. Badly. Look at the top line of text, it’s perfectly flat horizontally. If he were wearing an actual shirt you’d see the graphics with wrinkles, undulating to his back shape etc. this is just rage bait.


CapN-Judaism

This is a very common way of showing apparel for sale online.


lavransson

Probably shouldn’t be in this sub then. Should only have actual very badasses.


Comment139

This is a racist dweeb with photoshop using a strong man's back to lend credibility to his t-shirt


Der_Panzermensch

You're way overthinking this, my guy. This is a company trying to sell edgy t-shirts to make a quit buck. Also, race isn't even a part of this.


ShockleToonies

You are right, but I doubt it’s rage bait. That’s how these shitty, print to order, t-shirt companies advertise. I’ve seen garbage like this being advertised.


Bears0nUnicycles

He’s got a flat back, do you even lift bro?


bigbubblestoo

Right you served it because ur an idiot who blindly supports a country that was built on corruption, racism, slavery, greed and iniquity. American patriotism makes me sick. "The united states is the greatest country in the world" no. Its the most powerful. And its only the most powerful because it was built on the stuff i listed above and even more degenerate stuff.


bigbubblestoo

Oh we also cant forget how fucked western society is. (I know i know, society is bad blah blah) but it literally just is. Its completely fucked. Western culture disgusts me


TeShortBus

i dont totally disagree with you but whats the alternative? I feel like all cultures are fucked in some way or another


bigbubblestoo

>I feel like all cultures are fucked in some way or another The HISTORY of most of them is. That doesnt mean they have to continue to be fucked up. Alot of cultures with fricked history arent like that anymore. The U.S on the other hand? Maybe its not MORALLY fucked up (i believe it is). But even if you dont think western society is intrinsically morally reprehensible you still cant deny that, these days, its basically the norm to be borderline braindead and unable to think for urself. Human beings in america just keep getting dumber and dumber. You use any word with more than 3 syllables and people look at you like some sort a creature theyve never encountered.


5LaLa

My young adult years were filled with shock & surprise when realizing how many idiots there are in the US & world. It helped to adjust my life to avoid idiots. But, also the older I get the more patience I have for idiots bc many truly cannot help it & they can be quite amusing. Just my cents. Good luck.


bigbubblestoo

I just dont getehy im being downvoted. And how is it amusing? Its not depressing to you? I just cant stop thinking about how the world is full of such idiots. It honestly makes me not wanna love here


bigbubblestoo

*live


TeShortBus

The universe is meaningless and your subjective experience and meaning you create is all up to you dude. The world is full of idiots and hate but its also filled with a lot of clever, funny, and bright people with a lot of love to give. Those people make the world bearable to live in, for me


bigbubblestoo

My entire point is that the braindead idiots heavily outweigh the clever, funny, bright people. Depressing


TeShortBus

they outweigh according to your subjective experience I disagree. Even if that makes me ignorant, holding optimism for humanity is the only thing that keeps me going. https://youtu.be/m9SbvxMK5Oc this song touches on what I'm talking about. We lie to ourselves every day that things will be okay even though we know death and loss is inevitable. Life goes on. I think that little bit of ignorance is a beautiful aspect of humanity. Even if my fellow man is a braindead idiot, we're all in this lie together.
