Thought I’d update a common t-shirt platitude (that as a Veteran always bugged me) to reflect our current circumstances.

“If you can read this, thank a teacher.”

“If you’re reading this in English, thank a Veteran.”

“If you’re reading this in Russian, thank a Republican”.

[chuckstevens]

1. I like it!

Many dumbasses won't get it though!

[DemocracyMouse]

6. Actually, the post has some merit, although not happy with the implied snub towards Spanish

[Glorfindel]

13. "Implied snub toward Spanish"? I don't see that at all.

I took it to mean, "if you're reading this in English (and not German or Japanese), thank a veteran." When did a Spanish-speaking country ever pose an existential threat to this country?

11. I'm a dumbass.

Am I supposed to thank a veteran because it's printed in English?

Or because I learned the niceties of reading and writing English at public schools?

Or is it that I'm supposed to thank a veteran that I speak English at all?

[alwaysinasnit]

2. Ditto

If you don't mind, I would like to share this with family and friends. Thanks!

3. Pravda!

Если вы читаете это на русском языке, спасибо республиканцу

[DFW]

4. But, we forget something

Trump не умеет читать--ни по-русски ни по-английски !!

[dhol82]

9. Damn straight!

[Stuart G]

15. I think this means...Trump can't read english or russian....correct me if I am wrong????

[DFW]

17. No need for corrections

You nailed it the first time!

[treestar]

18. Это также верно.

Дональд не грамотен ни на одном языке.

[MurrayDelph]

5. This is so wrong

"Republican" has a capital R.

[HDSam]

8. FIFY

Also added the missing quotation marks.

Smartphones aren't the best tool for posting threads and replies. I often tell clients to not complete job applications on smartphones for this very reason.

7. If youre reading your health care cancellation letter

thank the 60% of veterans & 52% of white women who voted for the dumbass con.

[jayschool2013]

10. And if you voted for Trump

Пошел ты.

[Stuart G]

12. Of course not everyone knows what that means............I looked it up

It means.....................I fuck you..............................not nice.!!!!................

maybe it is just a fuck you....

[treestar]

19. Aptly stated!

[MrScorpio]

14. Lemme try. Ill only need one line.

“If you can read this in English, thank the people who stole this land from the Native Americans.”

[hurl]

16. Agreed

“If you’re reading this in English, thank a Colonialist.”
