Charity event for are forgotten soldiers

I’n surprised the one receiving the veteran skin won’t be 76, the generic grizzled white man with a backstory so generic they probably got it on discount because they left 76 in the cloning vat for too long and aged too much.


There's a second opinion for you.

Look at Palestine if you wanna see what state a country goes into when it’s army is considerably weaker than that of it’s neighbours.

Charities revolving around military related issues are probably a no-go. There’ll be far too many diplomatic hurdles to overcome to get the event active in all countries.

Oh yeah him to sorry xD i play rein and ana loved his oldman sweater 76 skin

Probably.

Still this is the same mindset of people who say Wolfenstein is a “politically daring” game.

Don’t take this as a jab to you, just thinkin’ out loud

That’s about as callous a remark as I have ever read… shame on you is all I can say.

Not true, a lot of people in WW2 and WW1 were forced into joining the army, it’s why TONS of women took over the jobs for men.

Women were literally doing ALL of the jobs the men were supposed to be doing, they kept the countries going while the men were away fighting the war.

I think what they meant is that it was a career choice, and literally it’s the government that sends them to maim themselves and the taxpayer who should cover for that as consequences of the things you literally force them to do as part of their job and chain of command.

Tons of men had no choice and were forced into WW1 and WW2… not a career choice.

Sure today it is, but memorial/remembrance days all over the globe are not just for soldiers who died recently, it’s all soldiers, mainly those who died during world wars ngl.

as nice as that sounds i’d rather be involved with a charitable event that doesn’t include people shooting at other people with the intention of killing
i’m sure you can come up with something else

Joining the military is like anything else one does for money: a job. It’s just a job.

You give up much more than any other job your life be one of them

Except the pay kinda sucks and at a moments notice, some old person you’ve never met before can send you over seas to die so they can collect more money off your death. “Just a job” btw

i’m sorry if it’s not to y’all’s liking but…
no matter what country you serve no matter what you do for the army
90% of the time you’re going to be involved with taking lives directly or indirectly
as patriotic as governments make it sound like it is there’s not much honor in that…

You are far from true…in my country, it was a duty till 1993. Those, who would not follow, were imprisoned. My father was among the “lucky” ones due his health issues.

Overwatch is played all around the world. It’s not like cancer which affects everyone. Which country’s soldiers will the funds go to? While Americans may be dangerously obsessed with their military, I can’t imagine anybody who has been on the receiving end of their destruction will be too happy to come onto Overwatch and see a big fundraiser for them.

Since this topic seems very US army centric, many choose to join as it is their best financial option. Surely pays a lot better than other low skill work (as in not requiring college/degrees/multiple year programs to get into it etc)

Tho the treatment of veterans in the states is criminal imo.
