No. I just give zero shits about the aesthetics of "military honor" in the US.
And any topic related to respecting the US military cannot be disconnected from the fact that it's the largest terrorist organization in the world.
It's like saying "oh damn, Putin wasn't respectful to his dead troops". Like, ok, I don't give a shit about Putin or the troops that kill innocent people.
- It's not aesthetics, people died slow some respect when you're the one who ordered it. No one is asking you to have common decency, clearly you don't so I won't ask.
  That's literally every military, but again you're ignoring the humans that died who didn't harm anyone and were involved in humanitarian efforts, let me say that again training efforts with an allied country not war. Stop being so much of a bigot you can't see the tree amongst the forest.
  No one is asking for you to care about Putin, you're being obtuse. It's especially dumb with Russia because they're conscripts in a oligopoly who imprisons deserters and allegedly kills some.
  
  Yeah. The leader of a military that terrorizes the third world SHOULD honor his troops. At least in terms of his own self interest. But that's clearly not what I'm talking about.
  I'm talking about why YOU or I should care about it?
  If anything it's good that he doesn't. Being in the US military is NOT honorable. And any movement in our culture and society to realize this is good.
  You can be sad for the people that died being a part of the worlds largest terrorist organization. Sad they were fooled into it.
  But if you keep honoring it. More people will join and die needlessly.
  There is literally more honor in being an Uber Driver or a Sex Worker than there is in being in the US military. And maybe some of these kids that died needlessly would be doing food delivery or dancing on only fans if people like you and people in this thread started treating joining the military as what it is. One of the most disgusting and dishonorable things you can do.
  So, feel pity for the kids that died. But if you want less of them to die do not honor them. There is no honor to be placed in dying for American empire.
  
  We all know what you're talking about, it's you who is confused about what we all are talking about.
  The leader of a military that terrorizes the third world SHOULD honor his troops.
  If anything it's good that he doesn't.
  Logic much?
  There is no honor to be placed in dying for American empire.
  For the third time NO ONE IS ASKING YOU NOR I TO HONOR A GODDAMN THING. Do you need it in German, Korean? Screamed at you while being beaten aggressively with a spoon? What? English by itself clearly isn't working so what exactly do you think might?
  
  The leader of a military that terrorizes the third world SHOULD honor his troops. At least in terms of his own self interest
  You're gonna quote me and purposely remove the one sentence in the middle that is important to the context? Like, did you do that in your head and not even notice it? Or do you do it purposely to avoid the point being made?
  I really hope it's the former. I'd much rather hope that you're just arguing in bad faith rather than being that dumb.
  At this point it's obvious that you're trying to "debate lord" more than you are trying to understand what I'm saying. So I don't really have much interest in continuing this conversation.
  
  That still means they should honor their troops, context in this case neither adds nor detracts.
  Again, everyone understands what you're saying. We're simply trying to get you to understand how big of a piece of shit you are to be saying it right now.
