I don't pretend to know how you experienced or lived life in Iraq or Afghanistan. I don't lump all veterans into a single group or pretend to understand the nuances of each individual's experience through cliches and stereotypes.

Please don't attempt to find your own identity by trying to understand my life and my identity. They are unrelated and silly. It is silly for me to attempt to find my identity by looking at one of my fellow liberal arts attending peers. This is downright ridiculous.

No kidding.

    I assume a lion’s share of the readership of Thought Catalog are liberal arts degree bearing, student-loan debt ridden types who think those who joined the military were too stupid to go to college and were unaware cogs in the political war machine run by evil multi-national corporations with the goal of maximizing profit and exploiting the lower class.

What a tool. I have no prejudices against people in the military or not. This guy certainly does though.
