path to the military was shaped by his evangelical Christian upbringing
there's no "thought the us military was the good guys," or "thinking" in general going on. they do what they're told
yes those were idiotic wars with their own share of atrocities but at least there some propaganda veneer to tell public they were the good guys and US at least pretend to follow rules of war.
Israel is straight up savage and proud to the point where most common sense people can't stomach esp if they have to support this shit with their own labour.
Telling y'all, American taxpayer is going to be held as complicit for this as Waffen-IDF death squads debacle. I hope israel's right to genocide is worth it for the domestic supporters...
Or they going to do another switcheroo like they did with Iraq and Afghan wars?
So much support back then, now can't find any one who supported it back then around 🤡
