I’m honestly surprised at the reactions. What did you think the military was for? Hugging? Pillow fights?

They kill people. And when they don’t, they train killing people, or plan how to kill people. It’s a state sanctioned murder for hire organization. If they aren’t lethal they aren’t performing their task.

I'm guessing people don't like the way it sounds given the support US is giving Israel. That and her refusal to force them to stop, just like Biden.

People like that have zero nuance in their understanding of the culture war in the Middle East.

And so help me fucking god if cheetolini gets re elected because a bunch of college slacktivists don't show up to vote...

Most people don’t. But there’s not really a lot of nuance to the Gaza invasion anymore.

Not in the invasion itself, there are aspects of it that no one consider when pointing fingers as to why our government is highly unlikely to ever stop supporting Israel no matter how genocidal they get.

Our military shit is so good that everyone wants it. We're setup to fight a war on 2 fronts. Like China on the pacific and europe in the Atlantic for example. We're so precise that we took out this guy with the missile equivalent of a slap chop by watching his daily routine and hitting him at the window where he took his morning tea/coffee.

This is old tech from a couple of decades ago. I'm sure there are some poor engineers in a basement figuring out a drone mothership that deploys drones to precisely take out every target within a square kilometer. Idk how we can be more lethal.

Bonus: operation praying mantis

I thought the military was for giving hugs to underprivileged children, WTF Kamala

Two options:

  1. She doesn't want to lose her centrist cred. Which is dum.

  2. She's seen some shit while in the WH
