you're either delusional or ridiculously uninformed.
in this case i don't care if trump does silly shit within your borders. the us has bombed countries back into the stone age for almost a century. and it's always either about gaining control of resources or for "strategic purposes".
apart from ww2 (in which they dropped a nuke on a country that was about to be defeated anyway) almost every war in the 20th and 21st century was just an unjustified massacre in places they had no reason to be in other than to swoop in and grab natural resources and plant a base. they haven't defended themselves once and all the justifications they had to enter a war were the consequences of their own acting.
i implore you to read more about the atrocities your country committed.
It doesn't matter whether i'm privileged or a victim of your murderous nation. the criticism would still be valid.
All too familiar with most of the atrocities although it's hard to keep up. How am I delusional though? Do you live in the USA? Do you know how hard full family coverage with no deductable is to get? Do u know what it costs to keep a child with birth defects alive? Some people would pay any price. This whole comment thread started about how some people don't really have a choice but to join the military.
america sucks, america is hell and i heavily sympathise with people who don't reap the benefits of a proper healtcare system.
as soon as you join the army you are an enemy and i hope for your demise as you become part of the imperialism machine.
you are disgusting for promoting killing and maiming people for healthcare benefits or a camaro.
death to america
You're evidently okay with the atrocities being committed. You excuse the inflicting of suffering and devastation on non Americans for a selfish benefitting of the soldiers committing and abetting them directly, and moreover to the benefit of scumbag elites who are incentivized to continue perpetrating acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities, placing profits over people as always.
Smedley Butler's conclusions apply to every American soldier.
Rich of you to apply the conclusion of a decorated 34 year marine corps general... Who yes said soldiers are pawns for imperialism. It's a rough life sacrificing your values to provide for your family, but if you bring people into this world you better take care of them.
Take care of them by....? Taking out other families in other countries?
That doesn't change the fact you support all the above.
Do you also apply this to people who bring families into the world and then must defend those families by killing US soldiers who have no business being there and are trying to kill them?
