      Have you ever met anyone in active duty? Every single marine is fueled by a six pack of Monster, punching each other in the dicks for fun, and eating crayons for lunch.

          Yet they’re still tricked into bombing brown kids over a WMD lie or for the religious act of patriotism. Doesn’t sound very intelligent to me, it’s like saying Oxford/Harvard educated math nerds making millions trading in high finance are smart because they think mathematical models of reality are more accurate than reality itself.

            “Muh Palestine” I don’t really care, what was done in GWOT was wrong but given the world is now heating up I fully support increasing defence spending to protect the nation from potentially hostile powers which could at this stage potentially include the USA.
