Most people join the US military to get socialist benefits, calling random soldiers who have likely contributed nothing to the attacks in Iran and we're likely in the military before Trump declared war and are bound by law to stay in, thugs is a stupid take. Are there terrible people in the US military sure, but I'd argue that most of them are decent people trying to eek out a basic life and would prefer not to kill or be killed in combat.

Most thugs join gangs to get benefits too. And most thugs would draw the line at bombing a school.

Stop with the clean wheremacht nonsense. Stormtroopers getting mulched is good.

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 hours ago

US military was an evil bunch of hooligans long before Trump. I have no repect for anyone who chooses to join there.

No fuck them and fuck you. Iwould rather starve than assist in an illegal war. They are not thugs they are terrorists

I wholly agree.

Thanks Maeve ❤️

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 16 hours ago

Didn't do anything but share the wavelength. I'm glad we do. ❤️

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

I fall in love with you more and more every day ❤️ i know it's unrequited

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 16 hours ago

Lol. Have you seen my dark side?! A few dark archetypes definitely reside within, and I'm okay with that, just learning to manage them, right? You're alright. I'm alright. Everyone is alright. We are where we are, just have to prod ourselves to grow when we get weary. And rest when we're doing to much. Be well, comrade.

AJ is disgusting.

[-] Spectrism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

How so? AJ is just quoting CENTCOM here.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

It doesn't have to copy the exact wording centcom use

[-] Spectrism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago

Agreed, but I also don't think that it's wrong to directly quote someone. It doesn't necessarily reflect the author's opinion on the matter or make them "disgusting".

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 21 hours ago

Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations.

That's not centcom

[-] Spectrism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

That's a quote from another commenter in this thread, not from the AJ article. So how is this relevant?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 20 hours ago

I'm wondering if comments are out of order for me? They seem not to have been properly federating over the weekend, possibly since Thursday.

killed in Jordan yesterday as “partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks"

Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations. Furthermore, even an aggressor can defend against enemy attacks. That is simple English. Very odd you find it 'disgusting' to accurately describe defenders as defenders.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 15 hours ago

The bases are used to attack iran. Jordan is the agressor and no the agressor has no right to defend itself in an illegal war

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 18 hours ago

Jordan is attacking Iran by collaborating with and enabling US-Israeli attacks on Iran. You don't get to claim you are not involved if you are in fact involved. Providing bases and airspace and missile/drone defense to the aggressor is an act of aggression.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

Iran is attacking American soil. End of story.

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

Jordan is hosting American bases, which are being used to attack Iran. Jordan has only to deny its territory and airspace to Amerikan and Israeli terrorists.

Also, Iran is not attacking Jordan. Iran is attacking American bases in Jordan.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 1 day ago

Iran is defending the Jordanien people from Israel, to which the army is capitulating, unlike Hisbollah. Very disingenuous Zionist framing, there.
