  1. A responsible parent would discourage their children for fighting for corporations. The military doesn’t “serve the country.”

  3. These guys still don’t get it. It’s not that the suits don’t understand; it’s that they just don’t care. They will ruin a million lives just to get their friends a pipeline in a foreign land. You are signing up to fight for opportunistic sociopaths.

  4. Yeah, I was confused by that too. What does he mean by, “same war?”

  5.  @kovy689  what point?

  6. It’s true. I heard of some minority soldiers more afraid of their squad than they were of the Taliban.

  7. Soldiers that ruin another country for corporations and return confused as to why they did it…represents the best side of the US?

  8.  @nintendostyle3500  Afghanistan was for minerals. Big difference?

  9. It’s not like things were better under the militia warlords or the corrupt US-backed puppet government. There’s a reason why there aren’t riots on the streets. Most of them welcomed the Taliban back.

  10. They had a choice to be civilians too.

  11. Or, less people should enlist, so they’ll fight less wars.

  14.  @gun_ape  are there not white supremacists in the military though? Are you conflating “some” with “all?”

  15.  @Dr.Dokman  the TAPI pipeline. That and the rich mineral deposits. Where do you think $2 trillion goes? Schools for girls?

  18.  Still Sidda  so White can be racist too, correct?

  19.  @friedrichdergrosse7439  we can talk about discrimination against Asians, Latinos, women, and LGBTQ+ too if you want?

  20.  Still Sidda  why are White people less racist?

  21.  @eduardogamboa-cruz3141  you don’t need permission to riot. That’s the definition of a riot. Seems like most people are relieved there’s stability again. If they do riot, you’ll say they’re protesting for freedom. If they do not riot, you’ll say they want freedom, but they’re repressed.

  22.  @eduardogamboa-cruz3141  women have always had a spotty history in the region. But yes, they likely did have their golden years under Communism.

  23.  @Waynebruce234  I didn’t say parents should tell their children what to do. I said they should discourage putting their lives on the line for corporate interests. If you want your kids to risk their lives for Boeing’s quarterly revenue reports, then that’s up to you guys.
