    I don't know a ton about scouts, but they've always felt like literal military preparation cults to me.

    But the roots of scouting come from the military. Lord Baden-Powell called them scouts at they were literally using training for military scouts as a basis for their organization. It is definitely different but it is based from a military mindset

    I don't care. He died in a war of agression, he is a terrorist to me

    Not to be a dick, but maybe he shouldn't have joined a military force known for extreme violence.

    How do people not understand that they’re volunteering to be used as cannon fodder? The more exceptional a person is, the less it makes sense.

    It was a sacrifice that Trump and the Iowan Republicans were willing to make.

    Guys, chill for a second.

    He was a kid who enlisted in the Reserve before Trump was even in power, and deployed to Kuwait with a logistics unit without knowing wtf was going to happen.

    Instead of being mad at the dead pawns, be mad at the people in power who started this shit. Be mad at the officers at the highest levels who didn't push back against Trump's orders to attack Iran without just reason. I think they deserve hate more than anyone.

    This might be a hot take, but the US military was shit long before Trump.

    Really nothing Trump is doing is new to the US. He just gave up any pretense of it being for good or to help anyone. Also he's even more inept at implementing anything so the outcome is worse even quicker than in the past.

    Don't worry, pretty soon we will be past the point where we can individually profile the people that died for Trump.

    Ok, now do individual stories about the dead people that aren’t US military.

    What’s that? Too many to choose from? I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the deafening silence.

    This is tragic. Not more important than the lives of all the kids the organization he was part of killed. But still, tragic.
