     @beardalaxy @anemone i would agree with the cover art's sentiment, although i'm not sure if we'd agree on specifics.

     @anemone I hate the myth that's been going on forever now that soldiers are the ones keeping us free somehow. If anything they just help perpetuate the status quo.

     @beardalaxy @anemone i remember being particularly livid back in Bush Jr days because they were sending people out in iraq underprotected. so commanders started welding jank armor on to the humvees, since congress refused to pay for body armor and the like. then command got butt hurt and was like "no no don't armor your vehicles that's not authorized." like the industry WANTED everyone to go out and get killed, since high command and congress fought every attempt to protect the soldiers.
     
     then they had the stones to ban stem cell research, which i probably would have had them summarily executed for depending on which quinn was there on the day :blobcatgoogly:
     
     like we're going to lie that you are serving your country, but really you're just helping Mattis fuck around and find out (it turns out he was deliberately doing this just to fuck around with new battle strategies), and the House of Saud maintain its power structure, nothing about that was remotely in the interest of the hegemon's citizens, and we're going to shut down any attempts to fix you after we use up your body :blobcatgooglybadumtss:
     
     :blobcatpensive: my disappointment is, sadly, eternal.

     I think everyone remembers Richard Clark's famous "7 countries" quote. The Bush/Cheney/Rummy admin and the military industry that backed them wanted to hit an insane number of countries in four to five years. General Shinseki told them they'd need 300k troops just to hold Iraq and they didn't care or didn't believe him and Iraq went to shit (the documentary No End In Sight (2007) goes into great detail on this).
     
     So of course they're going to skimp on armor, but still spend insane amounts on weapons, tanks and whatever their big contractors are lobbying for. Neither Trump or Biden expanded further into that list ... but I have a feeling next term Trump will have to bomb something after he's installed.

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club Based on the blurb on the store page, that's not the issue, it's that the military leadership is too woke: "The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty." eg we don't let are troops commit enough war crimes

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club his description isn't actual merit. The military actually still has plenty of brutal sociopaths who turn every population they interact with against us, just look at JSOC.

     @anemone @beardalaxy every so often they circulate a questionnaire if you'd be willing to shoot american civilians. this practice was shelved until obama started it up again (he also signed the repeal of the ban on CIA propaganda inside the USA), and instead of being a survey that creeped everyone out, everyone who said yes started rocketing in promotions.
     
     they need sociopaths, wokes, and ass kissers because the morally correct warriors are tired of following stupid orders

     @sun@shitposter.world @icedquinn@blob.cat @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club no, these elements were greatly amplified via US financing, propaganda, arms and trade.
     
     There are child marrying polygamists in the US in the US. Would you say that's part of our culture? How about if a vastly richer foreign power had been arming and training them and spreading propaganda for them for the past 50 years?
