My Rant about Crumudgeons

[bczandm]

Thank you for your service. You are clearly a great soldier, father and husband. This country could use more people like you. Ignore the peanut gallery...

Congratulations!

Congrats on the marriage. You have a beautiful family.

Fuck that guy.... Just a crotchety old man

Took those exact words outta my mouth.

Thanks for your service and Congratulations!

Looked at the pics again. Notice the admiration in the magistrate's face in pic #2.

Well done, Marine.

Couldn't have said it better myself. That judge was clearly thrilled for the two (er, 4) of you..
I'll also throw in my congratulations and note that you have a beautiful bride and 2 good looking kids. With a family like that nothing else in this world matters.

Wierd thing was he was well dressed, didn't smell, clean cut, and seemed normal until he opened his mouth.

And once he did, nothing but vile sewage spilled out. I'd hazard a guess that he was quite probably jealous of you and your family.

Take good care of them. A beautiful & loving wife to grow old with and two great kids are the most valuable treasure life can offer.

Thank you for your service Marine, but, ah.... Airpower!

Congratulations! I'll say it, because there is no way you can hear this enough: your wife is absolutely lovely, and your kids are precious!

I've often found that when people hit a certain age, they justify their bad behavior by convincing themselves that they "earned it." The guy couldn't even get your rank right. Someone probably pissed in his Wheaties that morning, and he felt justified in trying to "demand" respect. Of all the days, and of all the elevators, he had to pick yours! So now you've got a story to tell at barbecues, right before you roll your eyes, shake your head and take a drink of beer before flipping the burgers.

Court House weddings are the BEST. The spouse and I got hitched at one, and the judge was wearing the loudest plaid pants and blazer I've ever seen- did I mention they were two different types of plaid?

You meet the most interesting people at the Court House - better than the DMV.
Congrats!

Congratulations on your marriage and thank you for your service.

Congrats and thank your for your service. You sure clean up well, I wouldn't have noticed you with a clean shave and no baseball cap. You handled the situation well, you do you and let him be an asshole.

Congrats on getting married. Guys like this are the reason I can't be at American Legion or VFW posts for very long. Every generation thinks the next one's service members/vets had so much easier than they did, and no one but them had it rough. Granted, those of us that were in Iraq or Afghanistan had more technology to aid us, more sophisticated weapons and probably better living arrangements than past generations. None of it makes it any easier on a person when lead starts coming at you and you start seeing your brothers fall.
