    I’d like to look more into the failures of the US military. I have a suspicion that their goal is mainly to enrich defense contractors and intimidate the rest of the world. Anything else is merely a bonus to them.

          “Even when I was a lib” is exactly why I turned down an RAF funded uni degree.

          Even as an abused and brainwashed tory child I had the moral compass to decide bombing random people based on the whims of government or my superiors was fucking insane.

          Military worship is weird.
