Does anyone here have sympathy for these soldiers? Within a year of invasion, we knew the mission in Afghanistan was over--Bin Laden escaped to Pakistan and the Taliban was all but defeated yet, the war continued. The mission in Iraq was also bullshit because weapons of mass destruction did not exist. However, even with ALL of this PUBLIC information, Americans continued to sign up for the military and many of those signed up because they wanted to deploy in the Sandbox. That means these people signed up to go slaughter innocent Afghani and Iraqi civilians--what other reason could they have? Does an economic opportunity provide a valid excuse for those who signed up voluntarily to slaughter innocent people (GI Bill, etc)? In my opinion, because the information about these wars was wide-spread and PUBLIC--everyone who signed up to serve in these wars is complicent in this debacle and deserving of ZERO sympathy.

Young working class men are always going to volunteer to fight, especially when they’re subjected to sophisticated propaganda from birth.

Save the hated for those who engineered this situation.

There's plenty of real info available to make an informed decision. Ignorance is not a valid excuse.

If you’re expecting the masses to make informed decisions based on their own research, then you’re going to be forever disappointed. That’s just not how most humans (especially high trust, conforming societies like Europe) evolved. It’s a great trait to have when your leaders are good people, but devastating when they’re a hostile foreign entity.

The only people to blame are the enemy, and ourselves for not trying harder
