There were no nebulous "freedoms" at stake in any of these conflicts. They were just petty squabbles between heads of state that could have been solved by the two parties being locked in a room and beating the poo poo out of each other. The only "sacrifice" any of these "brave men and women" made were their lives in order to get benefits that the rest of the civilized world gives to all of its citizens without forcing them to spend several years being a contract killer for the government.

Every time I see people participate in the disgusting military worship that goes on in this country, be it politicians extolling the values of veterans for votes and money, letting them have various discounts, letting them skip lines and other little special privileges, or cooing over their families who are mooching off of them, I internally roll my eyes and want to tell them what I'm telling you now. Along with pointing out that North Korea, one of our biggest enemies, does the same thing with its military, albeit to a more extreme degree. But to do so would be an act of treason and, of course, I would get the usual bullshit "herp derp people died so you could say that you ungrateful rear end in a top hat OOO RAH SEMPER FI!" argument.

Humayun Khan died in vain and probably didn't give a poo poo about you or protecting your "freedoms" when he enlisted.

Why is that second one anonymous? A lot of these are just "posts that wouldn't be out of place pretty much anywhere in this forum" but i guess some people are scared of having their opinions attached to their own account.

Anyway veterans of any war don't deserve worship, but that specific action of enlisting voluntarily deserve some respect. They can still be lovely people and may not deserve respect as a person just like anyone else, but if it weren't for volunteers we'd still have to worry about drafts. Comparing our country seriously to North Korea is eye-rollingly dumb too.

Also they were using soldiers from the National Guard that were only in the Guard because they had been drafted into the army for ww2.

Not to mention the draft for Vietnam.

Are you sure these service men and women signed up because they wanted to be involved in some particular fight, and not because they were poor and/or less educated and were attracted by the promises of getting some training and maybe seeing a bit of the world?

wow this is an edgy post but like someone else said you don't appear to really have any grasp of history

1) Your "petty squabbles between heads of state" argument actually applies much more to wars BEFORE ww2 than after; since ww2 it's all been clashes of ideologies with a little bit of inscrutable market forces mixed in. Even Iraq War 2, which could be described as "GWB wants to finish the job GHWB left undone", had the oil thing and the "does post-Cold-War America have a responsibility to be World Police" question to decide.
2) Your North Korea reference was honestly some :godwin: poo poo. "Honoring the armed forces is something North Korea does!!!" ok it's also something the UK and Germany and fuckin' Switzerland do, but
3) Was the part about "benefits other countries give everyone" about the GI Bill and VA healthcare? Because the kind of person who finds themselves in a position where volunteering for the forces is the best plan they have going is absolutely the kind of person who would benefit most from free education, and after the poo poo they have to go through paying their hospital bills is kind of the least the government could do. I mean, yes, I agree everybody should get free education and healthcare, but that's not the system we have so

To his credit he did specify "voluntarily" joining. Still an idiot though and strong odds that it's Jastiger.

e: vvv yeah I always roll my eyes when random people do that "thank you for your service~" and shake their hand or start applauding random people in uniform. It's such a meaningless gesture and aside from putting a support are troops sticker on their SUV is probably the extent they are willing to go to actually support them.

I don't really love my girlfriend.

We've moved in together, and we'll rob ably get married eventually. All my friends really like her, although I kind of hate most of her friends. She surrounds herself with these people who are so awkward and obnoxious, I suspect that they're autistic.

She's selfish and lazy. She's burned through at least two jobs because she just decided to stop showing up. She's selfish, demanding my full attention at all times, and expecting me to be at her beck and call. She nags me constantly, and won't let me enjoy anything that doesn't directly involve her. She's demanded that I put my rides signal life on hold for her, so that she can be the focus of my attention for now.

She makes sex a chore, and then bitches that we don't do it more often. And she knows I want kids but she keeps hinting that she doesn't. Or she'll change her mind and say that she actually wants to adopt, or that she doesn't want kids at all.

I'm deeply unhappy and I've lost control of my life, but I don't know how to get it back., because this relationship is so intertwined with other aspects of my life.

Skipping breakfast is a lovely idea for losing weight because you feel hungrier when you get to lunch, which makes you more likely to scarf down a ton of food and undo any progress skipping breakfast may have made.

In general, any "intermittent fasting" plan is awful because the majority of people don't have the willpower to handle feeling awful all the time from not eating, so they alternate their fasting with binging that either makes them gain weight or keeps them from doing more than wavering between two norms.

I think the idea of "all world conflicts should be decided via cage matches between world leaders or their appointed champions" is kind of interesting, but it's not a stable equilibrium because if you lose a duel but think you'd win a traditional war there is absolutely nothing stopping you from just invading rather than abiding by the duel conditions :shrug:

Plus all it would take is for North Korea to somehow engineer themselves the best cage-fighter ever born and there goes the world order

It's a stupid idea for exactly the reason you mentioned. Nobody would just say "OK, here's the keys to the country we give up" after their leader goes down. Especially for ideological wars a lot of people would rather go down fighting than compromise on their beliefs. Even if you could assume every country would honor the agreement, it would mean any leader that is remotely old or old of shape in any way will never get elected and we'd leave our fates in the hands of roided up giants.
