when I see Trump saluting the dead soldiers coffins as they return to the US it genuinely makes my piss boil.

You think your piss is boiling? Imagine how Trump feels, staring at all those losers.

The only reason many of his supporters support this war is becasue they’re racist, indoctrinated fools who don’t care if a few more “brown” people die.

They absolutely care. They are rabid for it.

So long as they aren't being sent overseas, anyway.

There's people who go to war for the college degree or the debt relief or the career advancement. And a lot of them bounce as soon as the checks clear.

There's also people who go to war because its a place where you can go out and get roided up and coke-brained and commit atrocities and be rewarded for it. They tend to stick around, then hop into the private sector to keep the good times rolling.

most of them go into reserves or nat guard. it appears for a while alot of the combat roles were impacted.

Oh no, I wasn't clear: I was referring to the non-military dipshits who are shouting crumb and spittle filled tirades at their TV over the idea that a brown person might exist and be happy.

I was one of the first category.
