[blue, looking quite sad, is sitting in a warzone, in military gear]
War…
War is hell…
[blue is now suffering from PTSD, holding their head in anguish]
War is horrible. I was a soldier. It was by far the most horrifying, most traumatizing part of my life
[green, curious, asks blue a question]
Well then maybe we should stop getting involved in wars?
[blue, furious with rage, aggressively pointing at green]
SHUT UP YOU ANTIPATRIOTIC WOKELING YOU ARE TRYING TO RUIN SOCIETY
The problem is the chicken hawks have taken over: Politicians who love war, but have never served in any meaningful role in the armed forces.
Why would politicians that love war and have served in the armed forces be better?
The same way most soldiers have better training and trigger discipline than cops. They know far better when their life is actually in danger, and are actually trained to stay cool under pressure. Cops are trained to be big babies that must get their way or else.
Same for politicians and chickenhawks. They’re fake tough guys, not actually tough guys.
