Does America Need To "Be Courteous With Fireworks" This July 4th?

[Diamondback 2/2]

That's some funny shit right there! Nice find.

Is there a count or any news articles or anything at all from the fragile veterans who may have been triggered?

Maybe that journalist?

Finally found the firework video I was looking for.
Homemade fireworks are a blast. (Ignore the date stamp, was using a new camcorder)

So this stupid bullshit is back....

A Navy Vet’s Fireworks Courtesy Sign Keeps Getting Stolen From Her Yard

A U.S. military veteran in Rhode Island says efforts to make neighbors aware of her post-traumatic stress disorder ahead of the Fourth of July holiday have been foiled by someone who has stolen a fireworks courtesy sign from her yard, the Associated Press reports.

Bristol resident and Navy vet Maegan Antunes told her local NBC affiliate that she has suffered from PTSD since her third deployment on an aircraft carrier and that unexpected fireworks can trigger her anxiety.

As a combat vet, I would be more concerned if I didn't hear fireworks on the 4th of July.

 

[DocIllinois]

I can deal with the fireworks unless some idiot is letting off M-80s one after the other within our block, for instance, which is just more annoying more than anything.

The 4th can also be hard on pets, especially dogs, IME. We run a white noise machine in the room where our dog sleeps on the night of the 4th, and have him sleep in the girl's bedroom, which is the darkest room.

never thought of a white noise machine......our dog is glued to me or my wife's side during the 4th.

Yeah, I'm not buying it. Thank you for your service, but we have enough attention whore veterans. We don't need more. Take your sign and fuck off.

“Being on a Navy ship, you don’t really think you’re going to see what everyone else is seeing on land — the ones in the military that are on land actually fighting there,” Antunes said. “So, what we witnessed at that time was not a normal thing we expected would happen. Let’s just say that.”

WTF could this really mean? Probably a bullshit statement, of course, but if she is serious....what the hell could she really think she saw?

From Wiki: The body of Osama bin Laden was flown from Bagram to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft escorted by two U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter jets.[118][119]

I am so buying her book when it comes out...Buried at Sea...my lips are SEALed.

I can only imagine how much "disability" she's collecting for this.

Fireworks reveal the "barbarous character of the American method of displaying patriotism." SJW's always want to shut us down, man. We're people too, you know?

MMS: Error

Fireworks have to be exploded in the middle of the dusty road, or in a vacant lot with a dirt surface, in order to avoid littering lawns or setting fire to houses, and the result is that the irresponsible small boy, turned loose with his fellows to spend the day in grand carnival of dirt, gunpowder, racket and patriotism. By the time he has gotten his hands into a condition of grime superlative even for the small boy, he bethinks himself of the toy pistol which his father as provided him with to cap the climax of the celebration, and in his haste and excitement, handling it with his finger on the trigger and his left palm over the nozzle, fires the blank charge of wadding into the bacillus-laden dirt which smears his palm...

A tangent, but also from the article:

"ARMY NOTES.

COST OF SUBSISTENCE FOR SICK SOLDIERS. - The orders issued during the Spanish American War, allowing a per diem of sixty cents for the subsistence of each soldier undergoing hospital treatment have been revoked, and an allowance of forty cents per man from the appropriation for the subsistence of the army has been substituted, the latter sum having been found by experience to be amply sufficient."

I work with a guy who was a cook in the Navy, and his VA rating is 80%. He's still trying to work his package through to get 100%.

He's done one deployment, on the George Washington, and that's all. I'm considering putting together a fraud package against him. Wherever he has a VA appointment he comes to work in sweats and brings a cane. The cane is only ever aground on days he has a VA appointment.

Go for it! I'd like to see VA tighten their shot group in regards to this.
