Hey Americans — today your president announced that U.S. troops might soon be deployed in Iran,
not just airstrikes and missiles from the sky.
How do you feel about that? Don’t hold back!

Anyone who joins the US military implicitly accepts that they'll die for Israel if it's ever needed.

@cjd I was unaware when I enlisted. It was only after I ETS'ed that I began to learn about the reality of the situation, although the seeds were sown when I saw who our "enemies" were in Afghanistan and started questioning our purpose there.

But you probably enlisted before the GWOT, because that was really the mask-off moment for the empire.

@cjd 2006, so I can't claim ignorance.

I mean I CAN because up to that point I was a product of public schooling and state university education, but I could have been doing my own research.
