Tumblr user tsarina-anadyomene: it really is quite bad for your military to have an image of itself as a warrior class. what you really want is for your soldiers to think of themselves as boring professionals who will fill out a report form if someone gets a little too warrior ethos out there

Tumblr user gsot: [Screenshot of Bluesky user Ruth Baader-Meinhoff @sm-6.bluesky.social: the lesson of WWII is that aesthetic warrior cult societies get their shit rocked by school teachers and store clerks who'd much rather be doing anything else]

Tumblr user drmajalis: [Screenshot of Bluesky user William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social: one of the oldest running dialogues in history is "war is a massively complicated political, bureaucratic and logistical endeavour" vs. "fuck you pussy, war is when you're a fucking badass, oh shit I lost"]

    First Blood: War is horrible. War destroys people's minds, bodies, and souls. War spawns never-ending cycles of trauma and violence. Don't do war.

    I recently watched both for the first time and they were horrible. But why would they like the hippie homeless vet killing cops story in rambo 2?

    Edit: I was thinking of rambo 1. Rambo 2 he rescues hostages he was supposed to ignore. I forget the rest I think I was too hugh
