‘History repeats itself’ wasn’t supposed to be advice; plus there’s supposed to be more than just 20 years in-between.

I thought libs were making the claim that we all learned from the Iraq war? Heck, Iraq and Iran are nearly the same word but with one letter difference!

      I genuinely hate this; I’ve read about stuff our troops did to people in Iraq (which I really don’t want to type out cause it’s monstrous, but it’s the kind of stuff you expect out of Israel) and it disgusts me to think of what the troops will do to the people of Iran; I remember a tweet by a reporter who said that every news they went to refused to publish a list of crimes they’d documented from sources such as the military themselves because they said it was ‘depressing’.

      I hate reading from all these dishonest people about how we’re supposedly going there to help the Iranians when in reality it’s because the average American is a bootlicker and is only going along with it because they go along with every hostile tendency of our government.

        9/11 didn’t just happen and Americans aren’t gonna be signing up for the military like.they were then. They still gotta do an entire ear and occupy and stuff. They can’t hand Iran over to Israel and go home after Mission Accomplished. Theyre just not gonna have enough guys to even repeat the mistakes of the previous wars let alone do a better job and those wars lasted 20 fucking years, people in the military now remember them

          The US military is having a recruitment crisis even in “peace” time, good luck getting anyone to sign up to go get hit by mortar attacks in Iran for ya
