In this day and age, if you sign up for the military you know there is a high chance you will be sent to a foreign country that did nothing to us to kill brown children to distract from the fact that our leaders are raping other children.

Or you would know it if the USA wasn't the most propagandized place on the face of the earth.

Being sent to staff a base and being sent to a war are two totally different things. (At least until February 2026)

The military itself opposed this, and that's in the public record. This president has a record of avoiding wars and disentangling the US from them, especially in Syria and Afghanistan. (Which, ironically, Dems opposed even though these wars had lasted decades.)

Iran and Venezuala are, rightly, unexpected, and if you're blaming reservists for their deaths then you're the one who's propagandized in this case. Can't exactly blame someone for dying in a war when all of the information they have is that it's (relatively) safe to be a US soldier and they can't read a demented person's mind.

Yeah I'm not excusing a hired killer because they thought it was a low chance anyone would ever successfully shoot back.

No, but you can blame them having a complete lack of moral character and for being completely, and willfully, ignorant of what their job entails.
