Responding here to @Quicksilver’s warmongering:

I work for the US Navy (and am a Navy veteran). I think a strong defense is incredibly important, and fosters peace. But strong defense is millions of miles away from _stupid offense_. That’s what we did. Nothing remotely “pro-military”, or “pro-defense”, or pro-anything but stupidity, corruption, and bigotry. War is absolute hell. And the US’s history of “imposing a change on an oppressive regime” is just failure after failure, atrocity after atrocity, stupidity after stupidity. And that’s with supposedly “competent” leadership!

And here you are, _expressing gladness_ that Trump and Hegseth killed some bad guys as they started a war with no strategy, no mission, and no plan, slaughtering children by the hundreds and civilians by the thousands.

Fuck the warmongers! Dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
