Ah, what the hell
Way to post a heap of irrelevant statements. Every country changes, the US has changed less relative to almost every other country in its history in terms of our political processes and national attitude since our founding, until recently (in reference to dimwits like you). I love the America I grew up in. Apparently you didn’t
BTW, we weren’t exactly completely isolationist. After all, we did overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy and make it a state, invade Florida and annex it, invade the southwest and annex it, invade Mexico, considered invading Nicaragua and annexing it but didn’t because the North didn’t want anymore slave states, invaded Cuba and removed it from Spanish control, acquired Puerto Rico through these wars with Spain, and annexed the Philippines
YOU posted that crap about rape and using it to justify killing Americans, dumbass. Now you’re saying it is THEIR propaganda, so why did you use it to justify them killing Americans like it’s a good reason to?
And when you say I need to change the minds of the ones killing “my” beloved GIs, they are yours too. They are also my uncle, cousin, and friends
And yes, I’m privileged compared to many people living in this world, but I’m pretty much average in the US. My parents aren’t rich- I got into a good school because I had the grades, SAT scores, AP scores, jobs, and extracurricular activities. My first job was for $5.15 an hour on a farm and I worked alongside migrant workers making probably $2 an hour. My second job was working at a McDonalds in the drive-thru window. I worked so I could help PAY for college. Is that considered very privileged to you?
Oh yeah, about me being a yankee, I had a relative fight for the Confederacy in the Civil War but not the North. I’m more of a Confederate by ancestry
Have you ever read any statements by the insurgents? Maybe you didn’t understand me, but I was referring to the insurgents who wanted to look like victors by causing violence before America withdraws. They want to make it look like their violence caused our withdrawal. That isn’t “trite” by any means for fuccks sake, that would be THEIR psychological victory, and a huge one
Ha, no, far from it, my parents have maybe disciplined me twice through my whole life because I was never some punk kid. And by that I mean sent me to my room for an hour when I was 5
Those aren’t my ideas about foreign policy, those are my ideas about fighting a war or an insurgency. The US messed up on so many grounds by considering the Iraqi mission one of nation-building and not a war. Have you ever read any books by Heinz Guderian? You should. Or similarly, John J. Pershing or William Tecumseh Sherman. They would be rolling over in their graves if they saw how this war was fought
Indi, there was a line that he crossed, which you might not understand because you probably don’t have any friends in Iraq. I do, as we speak, and Frasbee is trying to justify the killing of them. Imagine me actively trying to kill your son, for instance. You know, do a drive-by on your house with a Mac-10 and unload a few clips into your home with the intention of killing him. And every time he gets on the bus, you don't know if the next bus stop is gonna have an IED waiting to go off. Then imagine Frasbee saying that based on some bullshit anti-Canadian slander, I’m justified in doing that
And? Do you find it fashionable to support the underdog?
