Join the club. The only time this happens to me is on Fark.

The only time I've had some guy buy me a beer, I sent it back after he told me I should get the Medal of Honor just for putting up with all the ni**ers in the Army.

This Melanin-American thanks you for honoring the best of basic human decency, and thereby doing your uniform and your country proud yet again.

bleeds five days, doesn't die, etc...

even if it was cheap and dirty, +1, submitter.

hey, I LIKE cheap and dirty.

Bled? Are people being hemophobic?

UNC_Samurai: Bled? Are people being hemophobic?

Well I guess if you're completely hemophobic you may have trouble being around women at all.

Win.

As a female veteran, I must say, if they aren't drinking free, they're doing in wrong.

/never had to buy drinks

I'll start pulling strings at Veteran's Affairs

medius: jennyz: never had to buy drinks

even before you joined

Yeah, pretty much. It's called being a chick. :P

Agreed. It really seems more like a Bronze or Silver Star.

This does not apply to all female veterans, but if you were ugly before you went into the military, you are probably still ugly. During your deployment, you were one of very few females in an area with very high demand, but don't expect improvement on that treatment when you go back to the real world.

That's "Person of Hue," oppressor.

True story:

After talking to a recruiter, a girl went into the Army straight out of high school and eventually got deployed to Iraq. On the very last day of her tour, she discovered that she and two other female soldiers were put on, on the wings of a dove, on the wings of a dove! Madness FTW!

So that goes to show that you can't always trust someone not to screw you over after wasting your time on something they suckered you into, especially if they are an idiot.

/never had to buy drinks

/As a male veteran I felt the need to FTFM.

My wife said that when she was up in Providence, RI, they were buying her free drinks and bratwursts all the time. I think it all depends on where you are.

Here in Norfolk, VA, we are the quintessential military town. We might, maybe, if we're lucky, get a 10% discount for military around here. We go back to Michigan, we show the military ID, people are bending over backwards to give us free stuff.

MasterThief: Never sleep with anyone who can kick your ass.

Just make sure you leave before they wake up.

/never had to buy drinks

Does that have to do with you being in the military, or being a woman? Because a woman, unless she is a complete hog beast, can usually get guys to pay for their drinks with little more than a hair flip.

Female professional killers.

I don't think it's possible to debase their gender role any more than that.

Quite an achievement.

I knew that if any institution could achieve new heights of perversion the US military could.

Fear the Clam: That's "Person of Hue," oppressor.

I don't think he is Vietnamese.

What if you like it rough?

They're talking about beer, not semen.

I take it you're speaking from experience. It's okay. You just be yourself no matter what all those more photogenic war heroes say behind your back.

And we already have a Headline of the Week as far as I'm concerned.

That's funny.

/and you're right

MorePeasPlease:

On the wings of a dove? I assume this is a reference to a song I haven't heard. What's that a metaphor for?

I cam in here to say this...

Srsly, girls don't need to pay for drinks unless they want to or are too stupid to know any better.

The Invisible Sky Wizard: I take it you're speaking from experience. It's okay. You just be yourself no matter what all those more photogenic war heroes say behind your back.

...I was so lonely... Great now you are bringing up my stress related injures. Is anything sacred in this country?

Do you get a decent intarweb connection from Hell, subby? I always thought it was be real slow with lots of blocked sites.

And this is why women shouldn't be allowed in combat. You want to be a nurse, mechanic, file papers, that's fine but absolutely no combat. Women are too emotional and can't hack it.
