“While victimhood in America is exalted I don\u2019t think our veterans should join those ranks,\u201d Mattis said.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is also something called post traumatic growth where you come out of a situation like that and you actually feel kinder toward your fellow man and fellow woman,\u201d Mattis said.<\/p>\n

Mattis said the U.S. military must be steeled to fight a fanatical enemy that has a medieval worldview. The enemy must be convinced that it has a warrior class that won\u2019t back down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to have to have young people in our country who are willing to go toe to toe with this because two irreconcilable wills exist,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, I’m sure this won’t resonate well, with the Left who has tried to make us victims so that we can join them. Mattis is especially courageous to stand up to the stank-ass hippies in this regard. As we’ve seen, many of the phonies milk this victimhood label to cover for their own malfeasance and to bilk the government out of the benefits that should, instead go to someone who earned the benefits. These phony victims clog the system, while the real troops bravely stand in line and fight on for what is owed them.<\/p>\n
The ones who want to be seen as victims are the phonies While the real deals keep their derring-do to themselves, speaking up only to honor others.<\/p>\n
