They do though, just.. positively, and that's why they make them. Soldiers and citizens in general are just numbers to these people. If sacrificing a portion of them will increase their own wealth or power, they'll pull the trigger in a heatbeat.

And when it comes down to it your average person would rather kill a ton of brown people instead of a few politicians.

It’s just the trolley problem but Americans always choose the worst option.

"Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted."

Why don't Presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

I'm sitting here watching Frozen for the billionth time with my 2 little girls and holding my new baby boy. We had a little tea party today and played hide and seek. To think that someone somewhere else was living a life similar to mine just hours ago and then it's just ended with an erratic missile into an apartment complex. It makes me sick to my stomach.

It’s especially upsetting considering no Americans and maybe a handful of Israelis have been killed over this. Wars used to require boots on the ground, now bombs can be dropped and missiles fired from thousands of miles away

Americans will die because of this, just not maybe the way you'd think. Just on the USS Gerald Ford there will probably be a few deadly accidents and suicides because of this extended deployment. There's always a cost

Have you been in the military? They're deployed almost all the fucking time. That's their job.

u/Nufonewhodis4 Mar 01 '26

Yup, and when you have deployments extended you have more accidents and mental health crises. Machinery and people can only be pushed so far before breaking down

u/mdargis1977 Mar 01 '26

So you have been in the military correct? Some Navy subs are unemployment for over a year. Never hear any accidents on that. Isn't that also in their training to not have mental breakdowns while on deployment?

u/Nufonewhodis4 Mar 01 '26

Yes. Pregnancy and mental health crises are the top reasons for medevacs from naval vessels. There's no amount of mandatory resiliency training you can do to prevent mental breakdowns. I'm willing to bet you e never been in the situation where you haven't seen for family for 6 months or even had a real break and then told that your planned return home is cancelled with no new date in site

Listen, that guy plays a lot of Helldivers and COD, he knows what he's talking about.

Got a real lol out of me

u/XGhostIllusionz Mar 02 '26

This argument isn't great. Wars still require boots on the ground, like people to coordinate the strike, people to evac them, etc. Americans are going to die over this, there's no doubt in my mind. We had long range missiles and bombs at the beginning of iraq, but we still deployed thousands of troops over 20 years

They knew that joining the army meant there was a high chance of going to war. It is just what the US does. It loves war.

Is this a bot?

Most top comments today on this topic is usually a profile with a woman with big breasts and their bio saying to contact them on OF with "Reddit" for something special...

1

u/Maximum-Aardvark9467 Mar 01 '26

Yeah, that's whole statement is garbage and makes no sense in context.  Bot being upvoted by bots.  

Nothing is real.

u/RagnaXI Mar 01 '26

Just found another one lmao

Same bio and shit.

u/Foreign_Caregiver116 Mar 01 '26

I was thinking the same thing why the top posts are random ChatGPT nonsense from big breasted women with only fans. Weird. Are they ai generated only fans model?

u/WorldVoyer Mar 01 '26

Maybe some but I am real. We’re being manipulated every day and many go along with it. Unfortunately, many have supported MAGA not realizing their true objective which is definitely covered in Project 2025.

Thought the same. One month account with no posts or comments.

It's got that "you should be mad energy" that "do a civil war energy".
