An unfathomable number of international crimes has been commited by the US military since 1970 so that point is completely irrelevant.
Equating WW2 with the many financial/colonial wars of the last few decades is embarrassing. These have been entirely preventable wars and any US citizen should be outraged by the pointless killing of their parents, siblings and children. Yet their deaths are celebrated as “heroic” when in fact the lives of those people were thrown away just so that some rich assholes could buy more yachts. Deep down they know this, but to admit as much would ruin their little world view bubble of USA greatness.
I’ve protested pretty much every war the US has been involved in in my life time.
What annoys me about you is that you’re acting like you’re actually doing something important and meaningful by denying the dead and wounded the honors they’ve earned.
Talk about the fat cats all you want, but try to realize that it’s only luck that kept you from being one of those soldiers.
I mean yeah arguing with strangers on the internet is kinda pointless and most of the time has no real world effect, but here we all are…
What im annoyed by is that it sometimes feels like people are proud of these deaths. Any person deserves respect and their death should be honored. But the reason for their death is something that should not be celebrated. Their cause of death is something bad not something good. Its not a hero thing its a victim thing. Soldiers are victims of their incapable leaders, unable to prevent them from having to go to war.

And yet you felt the need to post.
Just stop.
If you dont wanna write or read posts you should probably get off the internet, because thats kind of the point of being here.
