"The audacity of this guy..."
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam — Air Force service members participating in a morale-building jet ski event on deployment in Guam say they are “disgusted” with Tom Brady.
“I simply cannot believe the audacity of this guy to compare playing a kid’s game to what we go through on deployment,” said Staff Sgt. Kerry Bryant after turning his jet ski off. “The sacrifices that we make for our country day in, and day out can never compare to playing some silly game.”
Bryant and others took issue with Brady’s comments during a recent podcast interview, in which he said a season of football was “almost” like “going away on deployment in the military.” Brady’s comments caused a major uproar in the military vet bro community.
“It doesn’t matter if the war is over, we’re still here protecting everyone’s freedom back home,” Bryant said while waiting on his mojito at the beachfront tiki bar. The Air Force prides itself on premier duty locations and unparalleled treatment of service men and women, officials said.
