These soldiers spend their days doing important work to defend our nation.

The U.S. military has done nothing to defend their "nation" for over 100 years. They ONLY defend the corporate oligarchs' ability to steal resources and use slave labor in third world countries.

Lmao yet Ukraine still stands thanks to American intelligence and military apparatus.

I'm not even an American but this kindergarten sentiment on Lemmy is so exhausting.

Yeah you get a lot of these 'moral purity absolutists' with all the nuance of an edgy teen. Some of them, or course, are edgy teens, but 100 years is a super odd choice even so. You'd think by the time they were 13 they'd have heard of at least one war that came pretty close to defense against a malign hegemonic power with ambitions of global domination....

It really reminds me how I felt when I was an edgy 16-year old but luckily for me social media wasn't really a thing yet so it didn't bother anyone.
