Not trying to be sympathetic to these guys but imagine being a 35-40 y/o sergeant or 54 y/o warrant officer in Kuwait and getting BTFO'd by an Iranian missile or drone because Trump felt like fucking around this month.

on one hand, i get the feeling - imagining some genx penpusher nerd getting struck directly in the face with a hypersonic missile is kinda a sad demise

on the other hand, infinite shaheds on the yankoid thumbpig bootboys no matter where they are, but especially on those stationed on foreign soil

Served the whole War on Terror and nearly got off scott free

Lol I didn't even make that connection. I know people are young when they join, they didn't know they were signing up for the Imperial death machine, yada yada, but if they enlisted in the late aughts then I'm going to assume they were probably enthusiastic about what they saw going on.

Occupational hazard.

I hear what you're saying but this is not a choice people make once. It's a choice they make every day of their pathetic lives. It's only fitting they die such embarrassing deaths

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, you can always just take the discharge

i would understand if i had suicide bombed wallstreet or done something like the end of fight club

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 9 points 12 hours ago

It's so funny how communists are constantly proven correct beyond a shadow of a doubt, the death of an attack dog is never as important as the health of a capitalist's investments

"tankies" and the unbearable burden of being right every fucking time

Bruh. On mobile, just got done working and I'm all forcibly vegetated so I legit was zoomed in and reading, scrolling slowly to the right...

BAM, ton of bricks!

spoilerThe fucking DOW is down?!

Goofy twist aside that's really how I experienced the image and I almost shit myself lmao. Thank Satan, every once in a cold blue moon (TM) all this techno-fukfuk the world has become delivers a true gem of an experience.

Reality is such a farce. I’m reasonably confident that hundreds of Americans are dead at this point, and the media is doing the same song and dance of trying to save face and lessen the severity

Truly hard for me to care though. Yeah yeah desperate people who joined to escape poverty or whatever but just as many “freedom fighters”
