Lmao of course

Kinda reminds me of the old men who sent troops to Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, but did no heavy lifting themselves.

Funny how the age group has flipped around.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Can they just like a Facebook post instead? That's much easier than actually doing anything.

IS will go away if they know how much we strongly disapprove.

Not hate, though. We don't hate them. That'd be Islamaphobic.

I think a plumber who advertises themselves as a plumber who works with pipes should do his job when I pay him to do it.

I understand the point of having a military, but I really hate sending troops and putting them in harms way. I'd much rather find a safer approach for them to do what they're trained for.

See, I wouldn't necissarily want to be fighting myself. But I'd still want to be doing something in the military. Like computer systems, stuff I'm good at. I wouldn't be very good at the whole fighting thing myself, so I generally feel that going to something like intelligence or whatever would be a better use of my skills. I'd still be there, doing stuff to help. But in an area more suited to my own skillset.

If any of that makes sense.

What're you talking about, Egg?

Don't you know that you're not allowed to advise or critique unless you can do the same job and do it better?

I've genuinely been interested in trying to join a militia there for a while now, but I figured in the end I'd likely get killed before I could make a valuable contribution.
Same here fam. Peshmerga?

Top kek. I wonder what all these libshits's reactions will be when the draft is implemented once WWIII starts up.
