Soldier Worship.

I'm really going to blow your mind, here.

So, you know this culture we have in the US of revering soldiers as heroes and blindly supporting the military? It's promoted by the military and government as a means of cultivating support for their actions. All of those brushfire wars in irrelevant shitholes on the other side of the world? They exist so the ruling class can either profit from the use of very expensive consumable objects or use that war as a means of justifying their position as protectors that need to be there for your own good. This is why warrior classes and castes have existed for thousands of years- to enforce the will of the ruling class.

Crazy, right? You know what's even weirder? Almost every product you consume falls back to a massive corporation that owns hundreds of brand labels in goods ranging from mattresses to porn to videogames to soft drinks.

HA.

Yeah, because the government liked the idea of running around Tora Bora looking for bin Laden. Give the military some moral credence; they removed two fundamentalist Islamic governments in two keystone states.

American Sniper was a great movie and Mr. Kyle was an outstanding American. God bless his soul for his heroic service to protecting American ideals and saving countless soldiers from insurgents.

I'm not sure being thousands of miles from home and sniping people in the Middle East is protecting American ideals.

I checked and they weren't. If they were aimed at another user they would be however since that would fall under personal attacks.

One might argue it takes the least amount of balls possible.

Did Kyle suffer from PTSD? I've read nothing that suggests this. In fact, the tone of his book implies he hasn't given any of the violence he was in a second thought.

Besides, fucking drone operators can get PTSD, it's got nothing to do with bravery.

Look at what happened after we removed the Shah of Iran.

The Shah was a major regional ally of the US, who was overthrown by a popular revolution.

His allegiance to the US is the part of reason the Iranians hate us today.
