I'll be honest, in the military you quickly lose track of your civilian friends. After a short time you find you have little in common with them. As time goes on you have even less in common with them.
After you've been overseas and traveled all over the world you look at them, sitting on their butts back at home, and thank God you're not stuck in the same rut they are stuck in.

I would hope not. I have a few friends in the military and I'm signing up myself next year. Bitterness to civilians is just assanine and those in the military who think they are better than civilians are giving a very bad impression of the military. It seems that in my personal experiences, none of my military friends talked too much about their experiences while at home, and certainly don't act high and mighty. So, I guess it just comes down to if the person has enough crap in them that the drill instructors can't get it out of them.

Its hard for me to comprehend civilian mindsets having been around the military my whole life. Its not bitterness, but more of a sense of betrayal. Because the lack of support affects our troops, and since many of my friends or friends' parents are troops, it affects me as well. So I feel betrayed as well. We should support the mission of our troops overseas if nothing else than to give them the notion that their country was behind them, not ripping itself apart because political factions use them and their plight to gain power in the government...its rather sickening and disheartening that our elected leaders would sit there and use the military as their middle man, as their little marionette who cannot object to that use of their sacrifice in blood, sweat, and tears because it is illegal to do so. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, speaking negatively of government leaders is punishable by a prison term, fines, and a dishonorable discharge. So the military has no choice but to be the middle man...a sickening situation...its bad enough we have to bleed on a battlefield, but we also have to be pawns in a gladiatorial power struggle which tears our country apart rather than unifying it.

No...I come from a military family, and we still love our civilian friends. But sometimes civilians don't understand the life and struggles of a military family, and sometimes they don't appreciate it like they should.

military personel dont dislike civilians, we hate the ignorant ones. the kind of people that blame the armed forces out there for the failure in iraq, the stupid ones that think that if they were turnedaway from joining the military due to history that they are too good to fight. the idiots that would bit.ch and moan about a draft idea instead of being ready and willing to fight for thi8s great country...we also hate the a.ss holes that think they are too good to be patriotic, to talk during the national anthem, to sit during the pledge, to insult thoes who have died fighting for their lazy, fat, miserable a.sses by protesting the use of god in the pledge, by spitting on the reason soldiers died by stealing etc. thoes are the kinds of people we hate.

HOOAH!!

No bitterness. However there is a closer bond with military and veteran friends that with those who have never served.

A lot of my associates I would not want in the military. They are like Dick Channey with a shot gun.
