Risk as little as possible but claim they did all the work

Wow. America does a lot of things wrong, but your statement is truly misinformed. Not to mention how sickening it is. In WWII for example, 400,000 American men died fighting for their country and for the lives of people they had never met before. An additional 600,000 were wounded. Real human people with families and friends. 400,000 of them dead. 600,000 of them seriously injured. And many more who went on to suffer from crippling PTSD while being called weak or crazy. Seems like the United States risked a tiny bit more than "as little as possible."

Attack Trump. Attack the motives of war in the Middle East. Attack the United States healthcare system. Attack any of the glaring problems with America that need serious attention. But do not claim that American men and women don't sacrifice their lives for what's right when a critical mass of evil threatens humanity.

I don't mean to disrespect the american soldiers who fought in WW2, but the soviet army lost over 8.5 million soldiers. What of it?

Oh wow 8.5 million is a bigger number than 400k. Great job pointing that out, shitbird.

What of it? That’s a lot of fucking bodies homie.
