Trump says he bombed Iran

[Oldcarpy2]

So, those on here that were so vocal about spending their tax dollars in supporting Ukraine because it was nothing to do with the US are now cheerleading for Israel's War in the Middle East?

Ah, weapons of Mass destruction.

We've been there before.

Madness.

This post stinks of antisemitic driven hypocrisy.

Trump said George Soros wouldn't be allowed to "rip America apart" anymore

It does?

Is this not Israel's War?

You were vehemently opposed to spending your tax dollars on Ukraine because it had nothing to do with the US.

Can you explain why you cheerlead for this War?

Hopefully without swearing.

If someone refutes your claim, it's thread drift. If they note you brought it up, it's semantics.

I get it dude, you're frustrated that not every comment in the thread is actionable intel from the ground. Some people are talking about theories and offering opinions.

I'll make sure not to reply to your two posts above this one noting a no kings protest. Wouldn't want to thread drift again.

Guess you never heard. If you can't beat them, join them

Im going to try and post less myself, I get no joy from pissing people off. Especially, people, I don't know
It's why I have you on ignore too...

You are one of those posters that I respect and enjoy reading your posts. We just aren't going to agree on this topic, and likely some others. Im just not as attached emotionally to most of the topics here, but I dig talking war stuff. Dunnigan used to have a message board site, but it's been inactive, and I don't know if he has croaked or what. They still talk Ukraine, but there's bupkis on Iran

I apologize for getting it all started today. I should have known better... live and learn

But hey, it got me through the first half of a double shift, take the good with the bad

I have never been a Marine.  But I have worked with many...

I suspect that the reaction a civilian would have to this is a far cry from how any soldier might.

The prime function they each embody is not 'alien' to them.
Marines know - without baggage - what it is they are expected to do...
and their honor is bound to it.

Don't ever expect Marines to be 'demoralized' by media noise... even the disparaging stuff.

But the dissent can be considered insulting...
and things that can be considered insulting,
usually will insult someone.

The ranking Marine issuing this letter wasn't talking to "us"...
it was for active duty Marines under his command...
(Whose family affairs must be kept in order... it's only logical.)

To sacrifice one's freedoms, in order to offer service to a nation...
it's a choice that must be considered from the context of honor...
or it's only "a job"...

They will give their blood for oil and for service to the Israel nation to continue genocide killings in other coountries...and I don't see any honor there, just misguided duty to their job.

Don't forget, the Saudis were also responsible for 9/11.

How did they pull of the controlled demolition of WTC7? Lot of other inconsistencies that day and the following years where I do not see the Saudis involved. I do see a lot of Israel involvement in how that day went with how the media and politics directed it.

Maybe you think it is ok that 3000 Americans died so Israel could drag America into the Middle East? It has changed the region over the past 25 years. A lot of those gains are now in question as hostilities have escalated more recently.

A nation using a war approach for its existence breads more war by its very nature. Trust is shatters as negotiations broken. International energy supply in chaos. Preparations of lock downs underway. Global tensions rising.

It's so nice to see a foreign non-Marine provide judgement on what US Marines are thinking and doing.

My only judgement is on their mission which is to assist Israel in continuing their genocidal wars and expansion, as for what they are thinking and doing, does it really matter to anyone but themselves and their families? That letter explains to them what they should be thinking and doing, not asking them what they are thinking and want to do.
