Do you REALLY think everyone in the US military joined up during trump and is a raging Republican? If you do, what a strange world you live in.
Really then?
Why don't we check in with the dead Afghani and Iraqi civilians killed before and during US occupation?
Why don't we check in with Serbia, still dealing with depleted uranium from US weapons?
Why don't we check in with Vietnam, still dealing with Agent Orange and other fallout in the aftermath of their liberation after all this time?
How about over in Korea, where the US dropped more bombs there than during WW2?
Why don't we see how things have fared in The Philippines after the US placed them under new management after seizing them from Spain in a war of aggression?
There are plenty more examples in the gaps between and further back in time. The only ghoul here is you.
The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.
But go ahead and tell me about how you're mad at people killing children.
I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don't deploy them to combat before they're 18.
I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.
