Guys, chill for a second.
He was a kid who enlisted in the Reserve before Trump was even in power, and deployed to Kuwait with a logistics unit without knowing wtf was going to happen.
Instead of being mad at the dead pawns, be mad at the people in power who started this shit. Be mad at the officers at the highest levels who didn't push back against Trump's orders to attack Iran without just reason. I think they deserve hate more than anyone.
I can be mad at both.
If you choose to join the military regardless of when you chose to join it. You still chose to join the military.
Sure. That makes them legitimate targets in a war, and you don't have to be sad that they died. Yes, I understand Iran attacking back was legitimate because every country as a right to defend itself.
But people talk like this guy was the evilist dude in the world and wanted to bomb a school or something.
This might be a hot take, but the US military was shit long before Trump.
Really nothing Trump is doing is new to the US. He just gave up any pretense of it being for good or to help anyone. Also he's even more inept at implementing anything so the outcome is worse even quicker than in the past.
Those photos of Iraqi prisoners connected to a car battery were not really made public. /s
Fake, kid is still alive.
