Not all combat vets feel the same way, and there are always exceptions. In response to this meme: https://theveganreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Fireworks-1.jpg This is what one combat vet, I know very well, wrote: Quote:If this hurts your feelings........well good, tell your mom and dad they should not have raised a pussy. This bullshit needs to stop.
Lets just take a look at the facts.
1. Bees are not bothered in the least by fireworks, otherwise how do you explain the fact that bees build nests on gun ranges and demolition ranges? Bees don't fly at night, they are already in their hives.
2. Unless you throw fireworks into a bird's nest or hit a bird with a firework, this is complete bullshit.
3. More bullshit, wild animals might, *might* get spooked, but they do not abandon their dens. They are not as stupid as the cucks that made this original meme.
4. More BS, fish as animals are not stupid.
5. Your dog, cat, or whatever might not like fireworks, but they are not going to die or be scarred for life because people celebrate Independence day. Stop being over dramatic. You know it's the 4th of July, get your puss dog a doggie Valium and a thunder vest and shut the fuck up.
6. This is the one that pisses me off more than any other. As a combat veteran with hyper vigilance, I fought for our country, I will be damned if I would ever try to take away people's freedom to celebrate in the traditional fashion, and I do not know any combat vet that would. That's right, I said it, if somebody is telling you not to celebrate with fireworks because of their PTSD, there is a 99% chance they sat in the rear, saw no combat, and just want attention. Seriously, people who actually fought to defend freedom are pretty damn serious about keeping it. They may not like fireworks, they may sit in the house with earplugs in and such, but they will never ask you not to celebrate freedom. We are veterans, not pussies.
