So I brought up this “bizarre” hypothetical, which you felt obliged to point out, to which you then happily and eagerly participated by posting back and forth? I guess that makes you bizarre yourself!

Look, can we not all just agree to disagree, and acknowledge that there are legitimate differences in viewpoints on this thing
quote:what’s this mean? Our boys aren’t “manly” enough to fight our wars? My family has served in every war America has fought short of the current one. My uncle is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Air Force who served 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, my great uncle flew recon in Vietnam, my grandmother lost an uncle at the bulge, and my great great great grandfather fought all throughout the Vicksburg campaign against Grant. I think our martial prowess as a family is okay. But nice dig! “You don’t wanna die for Israel? You must be a pussy!”
and perhaps acknowledge that yall’s kids probably aren’t military material anyway??
Of course I’m sure I’m talking to someone who thinks Joe kent and Shawn Ryan are pussies too.

I’m just feeding off of your vibe, my bro. You just seem all over the place, perhaps at least partially out of anger or frustration.
For instance, I note a discrepancy in your lambaste of the idea of Americans fighting in any way on behalf of the Jews, who you have referred to in let’s just say in-affectionate ways (no, Im not saying “antisemite,” so no one should even waste their time), yet Im curious as to the different tone you take when referring to the Bulge family member. Would seem to me that based on your modern day position and commentary thereon, that you wouldn’t have anything good to say about the one who chose that path, you know, at least in part fighting for Jews, so to speak.

We've never launched a ground invasion in the Middle East in search of weapons of mass destruction. Never.
I wonder what would happen if we did?
If they do this, then they are a bigger bunch of morons than I already thought.

You guys keep talking about hypotheticals.
I actually do have a son on active duty with the Navy. He serves on a guided missile destroyer. He is not currently deployed to the ME. He'll perform his duty as ordered, but I'm not thrilled about the possibility of him (or any of our other soldiers) possibly dying for Israel's cause.
I am a non-interventionist, but I support the actions taken to this point. We took out a big chunk of their leadership, damaged their nuclear program, and we've given the general public an opportunity to take advantage of if they can. Both Trump and Netanyahu emphasized that not long after the first wave of attacks. The next move is on the people of Iran.

They have every geographic advantage possible in a ground war, and the IRGC is literally begging for troops on the ground for this very reason, but sure, they're about to quit because *checks notes* they don't want to fulfill their fanatical religious goals.

No seriously, great post, 97.82% in agreement with you and your assertions there.

I have nothing against the Jews. I have nothing for them either. I said Jews because it’s a matter of fact bro. The state of Israel is a Jewish state same way Germany is a German state. If I say German I’m referring to German people. I don’t want to fight wars for Germans or wars for English or wars for anyone that isn’t American. Would you feel better if I said Israelis? It’s the same thing Jews/israelis it’s semantics. I really don’t care if you think I’m anti semetic just like I don’t care if a blue haired freak calls me a racist or transphobe. Your words have no power to me l.
quote:well I am frustrated that you seem to be all over the place, not consistent, not coherent, changing topics, etc. and then I guess you could say it made me angry when you insulted my family by insinuating we aren’t right for the American military because I don’t think we should fight wars for other countries.
