I never needed a that’a boy then, or now. Just like my dad who goes on about all the wars we need to be in, while never putting on a uniform. Do you find it odd that the majority of the people pushing these wars never served, or make up 1.7% of the population? Don’t you find it odd that these same people pushed the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? How’d those WMDs work out? Weird that we are protecting poppy fields, at the same time a nearly defunct drug (heroin) has made a historic comeback. Yes, keep spouting this war hawk stance, keep taking in (((their))) baby gravy, and tell me how me calling you a boomer faggot magically negates what I have seen and done, because it hurts your feefees.

You have a valid point about the poppy fields in Afghanistan and the resurgence of heroin. My son was there for a year, he drove a tracked recovery vehicle, and they had strict orders to stay out of the poppy fields. In the 20 years we've been in that shit-hole, poppy production has increased each year while deaths from heroin overdose here in the US increased correspondingly. I live in a rural area, and I've seen a dozen people die from heroin in this same period of time.

Afghanistan is an example of a fucked up war, agreed, but some situations still justify military action. You can't let Iran just spit in out face and get away with it.

I live in a flyover state and the heroin has surpassed meth here. From the VA prescribing (((OxyContin))) like PEZ and the private doctors pushing it for anything and everything, you cannot look at these two seemingly separate situations and not see the common thread. So I have said my point of view.

Besides saber rattling, why go to war with Iran? I also do not believe that Iran would sink that Japanese oil tanker as they were having a good meeting with Japan. Abe even said he didn’t believe it. Then a couple of days later they take out a drone who was conveniently on its final flight before retirement? They have been using false flags since the Lucitania, because it’s successful. These two latest ships seem to be little more than that.

I wore the uniform long before you were born.

If you won't respect your elders, you should at least respect your betters.

And what makes you better? Age is not indicative of being someone’s better, nor is social standing. Wearing the uniform before I was born, puts you in the mid-80s or before. If that’s that case, you of all people should know what I am talking about. How’d Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, desert storm, Beirut, the wars in south/central America, and Kosovo go? Don’t give me that sorry and pathetic line.
