very true. and those 'someone(s)' have to have veto power

Aoc is as incompetent as trump is claimed to be

of course, ".. Yours is NOT to wonder why, yours is to live and die"

AOC is an actress of the
Justice Democrats I doubt her heart is on the right place.

Yeah, I was leading up to that line MA. XD

yup true

Also, A Few Good Men is another one of those that pushed me towards the Marines.

Also that line, "Otherwise you should pick up a weapon, and man a post."

Yeah, i really get pissed when intellectuals can't seprate the administration giving the orders from the boys FOLLOWING those orders

That's what happened after Vietnam.

Also, comparing Iraq to Vietnam is brainlet tier processing power.

And proves the individual does not know their history.

The movie also addresses that hidden message. The general doesn't dictate the cause. only ythe means to make that cause a reality

yeah, that burns me up too. there is just no comparison

Vietnam was a totally different animal

Different circumstances but same result. Dead civilians, wasted resources, lots of troops who suffered afterwards.

That gloss over is *exactly* what we speak of.

I think the ideal of the Marine is what most men should strive for. Most marines i have known are capable yet destructive without a CO or good woman to give them their marching orders

It's about finding the marching orders, more than the individual providing them.

yeah, not 'wasted'. you CANNOT KNOW the result if that conflict DOES NOT occur

Lol okay Iraq had little to no consequences compared to Vietnam aight.

if a man dies on the line, you don't notice

His brothers do, though.

if that man does NOT die, you are conquered

THAT you WILL notice

of course, his brothers always will

And the matter in Iraq eliminated a notably hostile agent.

ISIS is all but destroyed at this point.

but those who sit back and think books can tell them what it is like will always make that mistake

You cannot know the consequences of Iraq

no one can

it is simple arrogance to conclude that no conflict is a better outcome

just turn it all into glass

ezpz

And for those of us that suffer the ramifications? We stepped up to the line, aware of the burden. Ultimately even the loss of those civilians will provide a better life to those that remain.

example. if you went back and stopped Truman from dropping the A-Bomb no one would have hesitated to use the weapon over Berlin in the 50s

one event effects the williingness of others to engage next time

What are you talking about? Of course you can. When you take out the "evil dictator" in the region it destabilizes a country.
