imagine raising a kid for 18 years only to have him get blown up in a bullshit war started by pedophile con men. while the top pedophile con man calls them "suckers and losers"
I'd have seriously fucked up if my kid ever considered joining the US military
Sometimes your kid starts sucking dick for drugs, and sometimes they really degrade themselves and join the military.
Nobody forced those terrorist soldiers to go.
that's true. but 18 years old is still a kid. and all those kids who signed up, especially these days, lack basic critical thinking skills that lead us to the conclusion that maybe making myself property of the us government isn't the best idea under this infantile fascist pedo rapist. that's all by design. i blame the parents
edit: i need to add-- once you're signed up, yes, you're forced to go. you do what you're told, or you're out, with a "dishonorable discharge" stapled to every job application you fill out for the rest of your life
A 18 years old is not a kid, it is a new adult that is going to a war knowing very well the usa and israel are killing civilians intentionally. My sympathy is only for the iranians civilians victims especially those 100 kids murdered in cold blood in an elementary school
18 years old is 100% a kid. how old are you? are you telling me that every decision you made at 18 was a well informed smart decision? that you never fell for any bullshit propaganda? if so, kudos to you. that's not most kids. i was well over 20 and allowed myself to be convinced that iraq had WMDs.
18 years old is an adult. At 10 years old i knew that the iraq war was a war of agression and that jail is better than going to a war where i am going to kill innocent people
again, good for you.
18 year olds are kids. you're not changing that.
A 18 years old is not a kid. you're not changing that fact and legally you are treated as an independent and responsible adult.
While they do not hold responsibility their thinking or decision kids between 12 and 17 generally knows wrong and right when it come to aggression and basic international laws understanding
LOL i was wondering when you'd bring up the "legally" defense of your wrong position.
18 years old = kid. the end.
why do you think they want 18 year olds in the military?
because at that age, you're dumb enough to sign up.
kids.
it's the same reason evangelists are fighting tooth and nail to get mandatory jesus in public schools--because kids don't have the life experience to consider "maybe this is bullshit" and once they're brainwashed, they're brainwashed
A kid soldier is a soldier under 18 under international law meaning a soldiers over 18 is an adult how can't you understand simple logic like that?
They want 18 years old in military because they want to biggest number of legal adult in the army. Simple as that.
You can be dumb at your last day of living that will not made a 90 years old an kids
again with the "legally" stuff.
"the people sending me to die in war say i'm old enough to die for them"
how the fuck do you not see the problem with that?
18 = KID. yes, 90 year old people are dumb too. that does literally nothing to invalidate my point.
nice talking to you, i'm done with this. 18 year olds are kids
You have yet show any argument backing that 18 years old are kids. 18 years old are not kids and fuck them for participating in a war of aggression
Most military enlisted recruits are poor people. You're literally saying "fuck the poor" because they are trying to better their lot in life in one of the few jobs that will pay you, train you, and feed/house you.
The military is basically custom built to take advantage of the poor and disadvantaged and you're over here celebrating the death of someone's child.
Under international laws Iran has the right to defend themselves against soldiers trying to kill innocent civilains . Soldiers that try to kill innocent civilians are terrorists .Like always you selfish Americans only cares about your terrorist soldiers .
See. This type of stereotyping is how you just keep digging yourself into a hole.
There are people responsible for the people who die in war and who decide to put those lives on the line and give those orders and I can pretty much guarantee that the people you're actually mad at are the people in charge, none of whom are on the ground in Iran.
Also, since you want to be one sided about it, let's talk about how Iran is also state sponsoring fucking terrorists you bigot.
Because you're guilty right now of the same shit you're accusing Americans of. Seems like you're more like us than you'd like to admit.
You do not have the high ground here. I don't blame the Iranian people (yes even their infantry troops) for the desicions of their Military leaders. Because it's not their fault. The people who make decisions deserve to take the flak.
You can do all the mental gymnastic you want fact is those soldiers are killing innocent civilians
I am not guilty of anything because I didn't advocate for killing a single civilian. You are guilty for defending soldiers in an illegal war
3 dead but somehow 300 coffins arrived
Naturally, the US will be extremely interested in concealing and underreporting losses, because the higher the losses, the greater the cost for Trump. These coffins will be held against him.
Thoughts and womp womps.
