From the article:
Armed with a 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute,
That is a lot of flying metal! I imagine that would cut up one of those speedboats in a hurry and pretty economically too.
Ok then you tell me, why have otherwise intelligent and good men enlisted and fought, killed and died to make the rich richer and the powerful more powerful here?
You just stumbled onto my point.Look, I understand that you don’t have a frame of reference to even begin to understand the mind of a US serviceman. But not a dang one ever signed up to fight for making the rich richer. The key phrase here is “signed up” not a damn soul in this country has been forced to fight or even serve in over 50 years. Every person who has worn the uniform since the draft ended did it voluntarily and for their own reasons.
Not a single person in this country served because they were forced to since the early 70s. And not a single individual since the civil war has had their family threatened if they refused to serve or opposed the government.
You just stumbled onto my point.
The US serviceman didn't sign up to fight for the rich, although that is what they are ultimately doing.
They do it because they have pride in their country, feel an obligation to defend it.
I'm arguing the average Iranian soldier if asked would give you a similar response.
No where did I infer that any American serviceman did it for anything other than love of country. Internally we see it one way, externally it's seen very different.
You need help bro. It's not confusing how the buildings fell. Stop licking toadsI’ve never engaged in that debate because none of it seems logical to me.
But my premise is that our government is failing and they have been lying to us as they dismantle it.. 9/11 to get into a war that doesn’t help our taxpayers is just one of many false flags they’ve used to attack our constitutional rights.
If that’s not worth chewing the fat over, then what is? I don’t plan on debating anyone about Christ. That’s between me and Him.
I'm not sure if that's true, but if you say it is I'll concede that is a difference because I don't know enough to proclaim otherwise.The vast majority of the Iranian soldiers are in uniform simply because they have to be or else.
The vast majority of US soldiers are not in uniform because of their love of country or a desire to defend it.
