Sonce I am in San Diego for a bit I've been forced to live like a local and do things like go to Starbucks when I want a coffee. Definitely not my first choice, but it is what it is.
Why did you feel the need to qualify your entire story by explaining why you went to Starbucks

I'm in the military and it is more common than you believe. Am I saying his story happened, hell if I know. But I do know that I've heard similar comments so not uncommon.

It's what we call our working blues. I'm not sure what the Navy calls their camos

Side note: I went on post Friday for the first time in years to get a new ID card. I had no idea the army changed the female grooming standards and was pretty surprised to see ponytails everywhere.

First off, I believe the guy.. I would like more info if it would be possible if this is the case going on now.
as to this.
Yes, that's when it started. But with the NFL. Then the entire Nation say that it was ok. Then you had NBA, MLB and every singer and actor in the country say it was ok to do so... Even President Obama...
What frustrates me is that Obama said he had the right to protest, but he sure didn't mention the Protest at work thing.

What stuck out to me is that her American flag was missing from the designated spot on her sleeve

When I asked about it, she looked at me with the most attitude she could, and said "Why would I wear the flag I don't respect?" I was flabbergasted.
You should have hired a female marine to kick her arse and give her a much needed attitude adjustment. People like her really give me the red arse.

Yes, they are in it for the free education and pension.

You lost me here. Going to Starbucks is an activity for locals?
Yeah man! I love going to that awesome local breakfast spot McDonald's!

Sadly, whether or not this conversation actually occurred, we all can believe in 2021 that it is feasible that it happened.
And that alone is telling.
And extremely demoralizing.

I was never issued a cammo uniform. Dress whites and blues, simmer whites and working blues (Johnny cash), and dungarees. I'm old.
