it is easy, for some people to go, well that sucks, but you weren't exactly forced to put yhourself in a position that gives most people ptsd, and the justifications for doing the thing you did that caused it was an at-best flimsy platitude about protecting freedom that's not actually real, but i wish it was i hope to see the conjstitution burn in my lifetime

um,, the us constitution is the chain that binds us to our freedom, without it america would long ago have fallen to communism, fasicm, or even naziism like most other countries. if you really think freedom doesnt exist, move to a communist country like india and make that post, with with india constitution or whatever.

even if you pray, jesus would never grant a prayer for something that would hurt people as much as communism. you should pray for the health of your family instead.

I'd like to see proof obama is a jew (not that there's anything wrong with jews) because that doesnt sound likely.

what exactly do you think Christ's kingdom is going to look like? Probably a pretty sweet dictatorship of the proletariat, since Christ would be the eternal king and the glory of God our eternal sunshine. What you didn't think FREEDOM is written anywhere in teh good parts of revelation? freedom is like the essential tool and cause of the apocalypse sorry buddy but freedom is poo poo

The ideology of communism didn't exist in Jesus' time so I don't see how he could have been one. More accurate to say that Marxism is based on a naive, atheistic understanding of Jesus' teachings.

it would be the simple de-facto state of affairs probably. Tell me why an omniscient Godhead needs a bureaucracy or a need to elevate anyone over any other person or permit power in the form of capital to accumulate and congeal anywhere but towards Him?

in 20 years every single function of the military will be privately contracted except for the button that kills people. Then they will have like fifty guys in the real military so they don't have to give out these ridiculous benefits far beyond what any working class deserves.

actually if you have remotely anything of a conscience and a brain, some unhappy thoughts are going to creep into your mind past all the brainwashing and self-serving lies you tell yourself and the fact you are push-button clicking people to their death from a birds-eye view camera may actually wear on and break your psyche.

even in warzones more than 90% I'd guess are surveillance

I mean I don't have hard numbers or anything this is just from walking around in afghanistan and looking up at the loving sky. also talking to drone operators in tarin kowt/kandahar.

I trust you but even there, this doesn't seem like a time where you'd be shooting lots of things.

I'm just saying like, there's possibly a circumstance where people who end up having to kill a bunch of dudes while operating a drone could get at least a little bit hosed up because of it.
