I hate them all!

On a call today, I was making small talk with a customer while waiting for a plan change to go through on her internet account, and asked where in Queensland the city she lived in was...

Anywayshe said it was near Cairns, but then continued to say that there was a Navy Ship named after the town she lived in... And then, without me saying a word, she launched into a tirade about how she hates all Military people (Army, Navy, Air Force - she hates them all equally)...

Being someone that has nothing but respect for the Armed Forces, that was not something I wanted to hear someone saying!!! But of course could not say anything back to her about how she would not have the freedom she has now if not for the Military

And needless to say, I did not tell her that I have 2 friends who actually work on the ship named after the town she lives in!!

Idiot

I suppose people who start spouting off their irrational hate must target people who they know cannot respond with the verbal smackdown they deserve. Sorry you had to hear that filth. What an idiot!

Sometimes, they've just been rehearsing their tirade so long, they have to say it, or it just spills out anyway...

I'm reminded of the fictional Doctor Burkhardt from the G.I.Joe comics, who despises the millitary...yet helps them rescue fellow soldiers from a pack of psychopaths. Said crazies had government power, there were little options.
