Lol, let go your hatred.

The operator type weren’t/wouldn’t have been the issue here.

Delta were in the original story that went sideways, and they weren’t the issue.

I hold no hate, some contempt maybe but no hate.

Bookwriters should stay within 75 miles of saltwater.

-I didn’t support starting this. And you don’t have to either.
-I don’t support the way it’s being executed. You don’t have to either.
-I don’t support escalating it. You don’t have to either.

I’m not “rooting against America” though.

Appreciate you bringing the rationale to the board on why it’s perfectly acceptable, though. Not that you need justification - it’s your right to root against America. You got polymarket odds on the next plane to get shot down?

This 10000000000%. I don’t agree with the war or how it has been handled, but I would never actively root against America.

Nor would 99% of the posters in this thread…..

They are a vocal minority.

Don't fact check this, it's definitely true

Just out of curiosity… how many of these have you read

 

[rikberry31]

And those large pro-regime rallies were fake?

Be careful with rosy anecdotes when discussing a large country at war

Do you remember the Iraqi "protests for Sadam Hussein.

 

[85SugarVol]

They are a vocal minority.

Even classifying that faction as a “they” might be pushing it.

No, not to the extent these were happening. But in Iraq we were successful in taking out the regime's ability to fight while that has not happened in Iran.

Agree that most wouldn’t, but I also don’t believe he’s the only one in this thread.

Monty and Huff would be multiple people

Just Haney's and Beckwith's memoir (not listed).

You should read Code over Country.

What do we mean by this? I don't root against America's long term interests...but I don't want America to win this war, because it will mean we went on waging a war instead of cutting our losses now. I'll take the L right now, which is the best win we can get. I'll root against winning specifically because winning is not good for us.

One individual with multiple personalities could be a “they”

 

[CobbVol]

The former whatever he was sharing Iran propaganda of US forces trying to kill the WSO ...

I don’t believe Monty would root for another F-15 going down. Not for a second.

I’m in school to be a doctor right now, a psychiatrist. Medical school terrifies me I’m 32 now and when I start medical I’ll be like 36 lol

There are plenty of people who start later than average. Psychiatry is a more forgiving field as far as how much it consumes your life. Medical school is going to suck but when it’s over it’s over.

This polymarket nonsense needs to shut down as soon as possible. One of the most disgusting things to exist in this country. Absolutely abhorrent that people can bet and “celebrate” on outcomes for us militarily.

Unless Trump was the back seater.

IDK how many dystopian novels and movies I've consumed, but I don’t remember anybody imagining this.

Ok, whatever. And the knight in the Holy Grail with his arms and legs chopped off still had the ability to fight. We have only inflected Iran with a flesh wound. Give me a break.

Baghdad Bob ring a bell? That is exactly what you sound like.
