You wanna know Trump's problem? He never had the makings of a varsity president.

Honestly same but I couldn't really think of another word.

Frankly speaking, while I have no respect for the American, or most nations', armed forces, I hesitate to ever make that known to these people. I think going overseas to murder, or facilitate the murder of, children in the name of a nation that's been proven to not be in your interests since its very inception is morally reprehensible to say the least, though even that feels like a bit of an understatement.

However, the realpolitik cynic in me recognizes that veterans are a very valuable resource to any leftist movement. A good chunk of them, especially any who have to deal with health issues caused by their service, already hate the system for what it did to them and what they did for it. Those ones are primed to learn more about, and accept, anti-imperialist views and potentially even work towards them.

If they're unrepentant, troll the fuck out of them that's hilarious, but if they seem disillusioned I'd hold off and try to actually make some headway. And if they're on your side already, shitting on them is not a productive use of anyone's time. It won't undo what they did, and everyone involved knows that, so why bother?

Hopefully this entire fiasco is enough to sway certain world leaders to develop nuclear deterrence arsenals of their own, but if I'm being honest, Libya should have been enough of a wake-up call so I highly doubt it.

Counterrevolution quashed! Still, that's awful that it happened in the first place, I hope the mod team is taking steps to tighten their security in the future... though I'm not terribly optimistic. Not because I think you guys are incompetent, but because I know how bad Reddit is as a platform when it comes to subreddit security.
