I'm not American... But in both cases, Americans and Russians are the unprovoked invasion force, they may not be orcs but they play the part

I'm not American either, but rather than laughing at the death of American soldiers, I'm sad that young men were deceived by their institutions and governments (or outright conscripted) into inflicting suffering and death and suffering it themselves.

College is insanely expensive in the US so lots of kids join the military because it will pay for their college if they survive.

Fully aware, that's why I reject blaming the individuals as opposed to the system

Thanks. I was one of those poor kids who joined the military to afford college, so I honestly appreciate it when people are understanding.

Idk, when I was in Mississippi they were cutting down giant live-oaks to make room for a shitty gas station. It was like watching the orcs rip out the trees around Isengard.
