This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years. And that’s saying a lot. This administration has no idea what they are doing. There is no viable war plan. They change their goals and their aims every single day.

I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so, it’s no surprise that this war is going horribly.

    I don’t. They should have turned against the current administration and the president long time ago. At the very least when this war was going to start. They didn’t and still follow orders that weren’t legal at the beginning, not questioning what they are doing.

      Imagine making a post about this war and expressing sympathy for the soldiers bombing schools and not even mentioning the civilians being killed with a single word.

      If someone was in the military, saw what was happening around July last year, and got out how ever they could- should they hate themselves for throwing away their career?

      Asking for a friend.

      To be fair, who’s to say this hasn’t happened? Obviously not to the extent it should, but. If there are any conscientious objectors in the military would we even hear about them? The brigs may be crowded even now.

        I would say all of the dead school children we recently bombed would have a word about it.

        If there are leaders disobeying then it’s certainly not the ones pushing the buttons.
