I hope you go over there, get your little brain all scrambled up with PTSD, and then come back here and see how much the United States cares about you, pookie.

    I don’t support what our government does, but blaming people who are notoriously desperate and were fed lies about joining seems like a pretty hard take. I have several friends who joined, and none of them because they felt a duty to serve. Whether they had I’ll family, needed student loans paid off, or were treading water in life and had a recruiter offer them an alternative to homelessness, they are hardly the people to be mad at.

    Shame on her. Judge our politicians who send my friends off to war as much as you like. Blaming troops is just blaming more victims of a failing system.

        I think the same thing about all soldiers. I think about it given if their American, Russian, Chinese, or any country’s soldiers. I think governments use the people at the bottom’s desperation to fight in wars that most don’t have a major stake in. Downvote me all you want, I see that desperation firsthand. I will never blame the people at the bottom. Most of them had the option of poverty or being a soldier, I don’t envy that decision. I blame the people giving the orders.

          you don’t have a brain? or heart? are a bot? No execuse for following orders because I need money. You have to be selfish, poor, evil and stupid to serve in military that makes the world worse.
