Doesn't take a ****ing thing away from the kids, who decades ago, signed up and risked their lives for the "politically approved message" of what the mission was about. Kids died in WWI and WWII for the same reasons.

Does McCain deserve disrespect for following orders from the Commander in Chief, at the time of his service? You ****s are pointing your BS in the wrong place.

Put it all on Nixon and Johnson and congress regarding the Vietnam War.

Snarky comebacks from the likes of Frowny in 5... 4... 3... 2...
Yes, previous generations have often had an idiotic trust for the government and if 60,000 of you dumb ****s had to die to divest this country of some of that trust then it was money well spent.

Yes that's exactly what I described.

POW is a weird term to me. I wonder if anyone ever called Ted Bundy a prisoner of rape and murder.

And it's exactly that meaningless loss of life and mindless authoritarianism that makes me so anti-war.

I'm pointing criticism at both places since both are responsible. It's not just hindsight, I decry our current military action across the ****ing board. We just have more older veterans and people are trying to get this whole compelled respect business going on and I won't **** with that, so it comes up more often.

Wanna talk about how many countries the US is currently occupying?

War is a reality because the global world sucks. At some point you have to put away your pacifistic sticker and just deal with the ****ing brutal REALITY.

Tell me how things might have gone better? How so many lives could have been saved. What would you, as a world leader, have done, to make it all more pretty?

Probably best to just let it go, Chula. You're up against both grindy and Frown. You won't win even if they're unwilling to listen to what we have to say. It'll get heated for no reason. We've been through it before.

Who exactly is ignoring that reality? The reality of sending kids to become dead men for the sake of dick-waving tyrants is what brought me here.

Glad we can finally agree on something.

If your daughter and grandchild get soaked in napalm is that part of the brutal reality of the “global world”

I mean **** if someone is called to serve it’s honorable

Lack of perspective thought sucks.

Not for me. I'm all good.

People can be informed and disagree with you at the same time dude, but if perspective isn't for you then so be it.

Ass-wipe. Cool sounding phrase. Think I'll start using it more.

*enters home with a machete, kills someone, then enters bedroom screaming ready to kill more people*
*gets shot by the person who lives there*
*get discounts, parades, and compelled respect for the rest of life because that dude shot me*
