I get the sentiment, but that's thousands of deaths.
Edit: It seems we have a ton of war hawks here. I know that Iran is defending itself, as they should. But nobody should be cheering on the war and deaths of thousands on any side. I would cheer on the total withdrawal of the US. I would rather nobody dies senseless deaths.
There is no draft, they volunteered.
The USA encourages young people to do that by keeping them in poverty and ignorance. So it's kind of voluntary but not exactly freely chosen.
This is exactly why they target low income communities for recruitment. Someone who is down and out is a far better target for recruitment.
