Sometimes you just gotta say it 🤷‍♀️

Imagine illegally invading a country with overwhelming force and air superiority and then dying anyway. Skill issue, lmao owned.

I would've simply chosen not to join the all-volunteer illegal invasion force

it depends. if his uncle was an american, british, or australian troop, then no, of course not.

but if he was iraqi, then probably you're the asshole, yes.

YTA you should have been more forward. Out of respect (for the Iraqis) I would suggest something like “oh cool” or “the earth is healing”

If your invasion becomes so comfortable that you have a Burger King on base, you have no reason to die. That is purely 100% a skill issue. I personally would NOT have died and WOULD have fought my way out of that situation by killing everyone with karate chops.

AITA

silence, redditor

Death to America

NTA your mouth your rules

tell him I also said womp womp

I mean yes, but there is such thing as being an asshole while still not being a bad person. Ya gotta be an asshole to some people sometimes.

If you dont like them fuck them who cares i hope his uncle dies again

If you do like them or want to consider a friendship maybe dont do that

My Godfather died in 9/11, but he was a finance hog so it didn't bother me in the slightest

It's what he deserved for getting me a Dilbert business book instead of an actual birthday present

unless his uncle served in Fedayeen Saddam, you're not the asshole

At first I was like "Eh well if someone he cared about died you probably should not be clowning like that", but given that he lied to try and shame you like an idiot, I'd say you rekt him correctly

NTA, they shouldn't have humble bragged how hard he got owned. Ok, we get it, you got a medal for dying good 🙄

You might be perceived as an asshole but those same people probably view that uncle as a hero who died doing the right thing. They are of course wrong on both counts

NTA personally I would have gone for "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" for a more personal touch but "womp womp" is a perfectly appropriate way of showing your approval.

If he was purely expressing emotional vulnerability about the loss of his uncle in an otherwise nonadversarial conversation, probably.

If the context included anything about war, politics, military, or even just anything other than his mourning the loss of a family member, heck no.

😠

NTA do it again

YTA

womp womp is a wheadonism

based

probably an asshole but that's extremely funny as hell

nope, the uncle getting killed was the best outcome of the uncle going there

Depends. If he is an Iraqi, then yes. If he is a colonizer trying to destroy Iraq, then also yes, because you only womped twice instead of the requisite three times.

No, all American invaders of Iraq deserve immediate execution

Seeing as how it turned out, I trust your judgement

thats funny as fuck

:took-no-restraint:

lol lmao
