Can you believe that there are a lot of people (100% in the media) who believe that every person that joins the military goes to bed at night quaking in fear that President Trump will send them on a nice little expeditionary war on the far side of the world? I know! What red blooded American serviceman(woman) doesn't join for the opportunity to go off and do something daring for a good purpose such as killing terrorists and ending evil regimes that promote terrorism worldwide?
The Media portray every war as a bad war, a war that didn't have to be fought and as an evil unrivaled on the scale of evil and in this they are joined by every single damned liberal on the planet even though half of them still have "FREE TIBET" bumper stickers on their cars and despite a world of evidence still believe that we can co-exist with evil.
People don't join the combat arms and enlist in the Expeditionary forces because they just wanted to serve 4 years and get the GI Bill. They want to contribute something really meaningful and if they're like their parents and friends and relatives they know that they will meet people and do things that the ordinary people never dream of and they don't look back on the history of our use of force over the last 100 years and see a tragic record filled with epic disasters, they see a country that toppled evil regimes, fought evil enemies, freed millions of people from the idiocy of communist tyranny and they see that the cost was worth it.
Admittedly, they don't see what happens when some guys improvise armor for themselves and they don't see the burns but they also, to a man, think that that sort of thing happens to the other guy. They are young and willing to put it all on the line to see the elephant and then maybe have a story to tell that is worth both the telling and the hearing. It all boils down to the idea of sharing in something greater than they are that is worth doing and when you contrast the likes of them with the likes of antifa and the killjoy liberals protesting against the demons in their own heads then there is no comparison at all.

Yeah, Vietnam was great.
Afghanistan was a powerful example of the primacy of American warfighting with so many NATO allies involved. 20 years of fighting the Taliban to flee at night and give that country to the Taliban PLUS modern US Weapons left behind.
Wonder how much was sold to China and Russia for study.
Hothi's' lost, err was defeated, err well never mind the Hothi's 2 US Navy 0 scoreboard. BTW they seem to be back in the game again.
I notice that Trump the dealmaker has made a deal with Russia to UN-sanction their oil to cover the US losses from that area under concern.
I guess expensive gasoline isn't a good look in America.
Let's see how much in real world DELIVERY we get from that "Deal".
Pity even He couldn't say the Russians (#2 Rare Earth producers of the world) were going to sell us a gram of rare earths. Maybe Russia is still annoyed OUR ISR is STILL directing Ukrainian Missiles into Russia?
How petty of them.
Want to bet the ongoing effort to defang the USA of their fancy weapons is ongoing with everyone launched at Iran is one less available for China or Russia. Decades of our Missile Production burned up for the glory of the Epstein Alliance.
Sorry for being harsh but your smarter than that.
There IS NO GLORY in going to war.
Army.
Army again.
Notice how the Army never had any trouble meeting enlistment goals until Biden and his crew of turds?
You cannot beat tribesmen in a war with cameras and the news. It's hard enough without them.
Talk to the kids on the ships. It is not about glory.
Used the word expeditionary advisedly. There is a huge difference between that and Army. For instance, 80 years since we beat them and we are still occupying both Germany and Japan and have an division/Army in Korea.
Every wingnut always acts as if we choked the living shit out of the kids and forced them to join up and then horribly mistreat them and hate them to death and yet......
I'd give up on the Epstein alliance thing. I don't know where it comes from but rational beings can see that Iran has been a spoke in the gears of civilization since 1979 and teaming up with the one other warfighting mob on the planet to do us both a benny is not a bad thing.
I don't plan my day around fighting off China or Russia. I don't think we'll fight the latter since we don't have any reasons to and WRT China, that 100 mile gap is decisive and Western China only needs to wait awhile and demographics will see Taiwan fall into their hands soon enough. Consider, there are fewer and fewer people over there and way fewer than anybody ever guessed.
Hothis was Army?
